In the Pink

 Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Nat has given us the fab theme of 'In the Pink'.

We are kindly sponsored by Leann's World 101 and they are offering the lucky winner 2  digi images from their online store.

We were lucky enough to have one of their images to play with and I've ised an image called 'Birdie'.

I've coloured the image with my promarkers and added some glitter here and there!  I added a diecut birthday and stamped the 'Happy'.  I mounted the image onto some black card and then added some enamel dots. I tried to stick to a CAS style card and was quite proud of mysef for not adding anything else!!

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge.  Don't forget. you can use any of your markers - just be sure to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize,

Hugs, Karen x

'Things beginning with B'

 Hi crafters,

There's a great new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week. our lovely Lisa G has given us the theme of 'Things beginning with B'.

We are kindly sponsored by Uniko Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner 1 stamp set (must be in stock).

I made an Anniversary card for my brother and sister-in-law and I have bunting, black, brads and blue on my card for 'things beginning with B'.  

I coloured this gorgeous LOTV image with my promarkers, adding lots of glitter to her dress.  I diecut a frame from black card, some swirly hearts, bunting and a border.  I found some fab purple brads which matched the backing paper and also added some pearls as the finishing touch!  The sentiment was a freebie stamp from a magazine.

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's great challenge.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers.  Just remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning the prize.

Hugs,

Add a Sentiment

 Hi crafters,

Can you believe it's the last day of August already?!!  It's also time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Linda has given us the fab theme of 'Add a Sentiment'.

We are kindly sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.

We were lucky enough to have one of their images to use on our cards this week and I chose this one called 'Chaz the Chimp'.

'

I've used some distress ink  through a stencil for the background behind the diecut bricks.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and fussy cut it out,  I then stamped and coloured some leaves and added them to the top of the image to look as though the chimp is swinging in the forest!!

I printed the sentiment on the computer in different fonts and added a couple of enamel dots to finish!

I added 'Happy Birthday' to the inside of the card to complete the sentence!!

 I hope you'll be able to join in with this week's challenge - we all add sentiments to our cards so I'm sure you'll have a creation to enter.  Don't forget you can use any of your markers - just make sure you follow the theme to be eligible for the prize.

Add a Tag

 Good morning crafters,

I'm here to let you know about the brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Kitty has chosen the theme 'Add a Tag'.

We are kindly sponsored by Crafty Sentiments Designs and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.  

They have some really cute images and the Design Team have used some of their images on their cards this week.

I have used this one called 'With Love' 

I've used a layout from a recent workshop (thanks Lisa) and made it quite colourful!  I've added a few layers which actually includes 2 tags!!  I coloured the image with my promarkers and stencilled the background with some distress inks

I found this LOTV sentiment in my stash and the balloons on it were exactly the same shape!! I've inked all the layers and added a bit of string to the white tag behind the image.

I really hope you can join in with this week's challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers but don't forget to follow the theme to be eligible for this week's fab prize.

Favourite Colours

 Hi crafters,

This summer is starting to fly by isn't it and it's time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Markers. 

 I'm in the hot seat this week and I've chosen the great theme of  'Favourite Colours'.  If you're like me, my favourite colours change from week to week so I hope you'll be able to join in with this challenge!

We are kindly sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I've made this Welsh Birthday card for a daughter in my all time favourite colours which are grey, pink and white.  I just love this colour combo and I've used one of my favourite layouts too!

I've coloured this 'All Dressed Up' image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter as usual!    The grey sparkly paper is gorgeous but you can only just see it!!

I added some diecut flowers and leaves in white as well as a strip of grey ribbon.   Some gem stones for the flower centres were the finishing touches to my card.

I really hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers - just let us know what you've used and don't forget to follow the theme.
