Happy Birthday

Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Elaine from Team 2 has given you the theme of ‘happy birthday’.  Elaine has given you a super easy theme this week, make a creation for a birthday !  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week. Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card, but whatever you make you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw. So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter who sadly have now closed their store.  The prize on offer therefore is the image that the DT were given to use called 'A Curious Cake' which is perfect for birthday cards.  

This is the card I created this week.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter and white highlights here and there!  

I used an arch shaped diecut as I thought it looked like a cake dome?!!  I found some matching papers and also used a swirly embossing folder for one of the layers.  I wrapped a ribbon around the centre and finished off with some coloured pearls.

I hope you can find time to join in with this fab challenge and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

Hugs, Karen x

I made this card for my brother-in-law and I hope he likes it!!

I've used an old favourite digi which is perfect for those tricky male cards!  I coloured the image with my promarkers and found some coordinating papers in my stash.   I added some die cut banners as well as some card candy to the corners.  I added a personalised welsh sentiment too, just to make it extra special!!

I hope you can join in with this fun challenge!  The prizes are amazing and remember, you can use any of your markers!

Have fun!

Furry friends/animals

 Hi crafters,

This week's challenge over at Passion for Markers has been set by our lovely Wendy from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘furry friends/animals’ to inspire you.  Wendy would like you to include a furry friend or any animal on your creations this week; it can be your focal image, your patterned paper, ribbon or even die cuts; just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw.  You can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card!

We are kindly sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and Di is offering one lucky winner a £6.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  

I made this card at a recent workshop and this image is so cute!!

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some glitter here and there!  I found some matching papers and layered them onto kraft card as it matched my colour scheme!

I added an LOTV sentiment and added some doodling to the base card,

I hope you can join in with this week's fab challenge and don't forget, you can use any of your markers - just let us know what you've used in the comments.

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x
