Hi crafters,

Our lovely Nat has chosen the fab theme of 'Dots and/or Stripes' for the challenge this week over at Passion for Markers.

A great theme don't you think and we are kindly sponsored by Polkadoodles who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

I've used one of their gorgeous images on my card this week and this one is called 'Flower Fairy Winnie daisy'

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some polka dot to her dress.  I found some coordinating paper with stripes and dots so decided to use them both!

I added an LOTV sentiment and some enamel dots and stamped a birthday sentiment inside the card.

I hope you can join in with this week's fab challenge.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this week's great prize!

See you soon!

Hugs, Karen x

Hi crafters, 

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers which has been set by Kitty from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘no square or rectangle cards’ to inspire you this week.  We would love to see shapes such as circles, ovals, stars, whatever your creativity can think of.  We can’t wait to see what you make, just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw; so grab your markers and get colouring!

Our generous sponsor this week is Sheepski Designs and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice (the store is currently closed but the winner will be sent a link so that they can choose their images).  All of the DT have used images from Sheepski Designs on their creations this week so pop over to the website to have a look!

I've used one of their gorgeous images for my card this week and this one is called 'shopping in Yorkshire'

I coloured the image with my promarkers and paper pieced the umbrella, adding some shade here and there with my markers.  I diecut some flowers and leaves and added a bit of lace to the strip.  I inked the edges and added an LOTV sentiment to finish off the card!

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this challenge this week.  Sometimes it's easier to go with square or rectangle cards so it's good to try and do something different every now and then!!

See you soon,

Karen x
