A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #803 - Special Occasions - Sponsored by All Dressed Up

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! I hope you are all well and the week has started well. 

Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by All Dressed Up stamps and our theme of 'Special Occasions' this week was chosen for team 2 by Natalie... 

I chose to use a really sweet image called Over the Moon 

I have created a simple 6" x 6" A6 tent fold card and then added a layer of white card and a layer of pretty paper.  I used a circle die to cut an aperture on the paper and also to cut a thin frame from sparkly silver card.

I resized the image to suit my card blank so it will sit in the window and then printed out onto alcohol friendly card stock before colouring with my Promarkers.

I wanted it to look like the couples legs were dangling over the edge of the moon so I carefully fussy cut the bottom of the image and then adhered the panel behind the window with the legs on the outside.

To add some extra sparkly I added little dots of gilding paste mixture to the paper panel and then once ready applied silver foil, creating lots of extra little stars.

The sentiment was printed out and foiled in silver too after blending purple and blue ink to coordinate with the paper.

I think this wold be the perfect card to celebrate an engagement, wedding or anniversary

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #793 - Animals - Sponsored by All Dressed Up

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! I hope you are all well and the week has started well.  I seem to be spending a lot of time trying to keep cool at the moment - its very hot and humid here at the moment.

Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by All Dressed Up stamps and our theme of 'Animals' this week was chosen for team 2 by Natalie... 

I chose to use a really sweet image called A Time to give. 

I have created a simple A6 card using a lovely party themed die for the frame of my card, cutting it from lime green card stock.

I resized the image to suit my card blank and then printed out onto alcohol friendly card stock before colouring with my Promarkers....I decided to use some zesty colours to match the card frame.  I used a stencil and distress inks to stencil a party background.

I added glossy accents to the little balloons, a little sparkle to the bunting and some clear iridescent sequins around the design.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #774 - All about Love - Sponsored by All Dressed Up

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! I hope you are all well and keeping warm - its freezing here again and we've had a little more rain which always makes the house feel colder....off to the shops in Granada today so I might treat myself to a super chunky jumper for these cold winter nights.

Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by All Dressed Up stamps and our theme of 'All About Love' this week was chosen for team 2 by the Me... it is the month of love after all and Valentines Day isn't far away.  

I chose to use a really sweet image called Kitty Hearts as you know how much we love our kitties - what a better way to be than together and as the sentiment says 'Everything's better when we are together'.

I have created a simple A7 5" x7" Z-fold card for this with pretty papers from Lili of the Valley from the Funky Hearts collection layered onto red cardstock.

I resized the image to suit my card blank adding a digital sentiment at the top of the panel and then printed out onto alcohol friendly card stock before colouring with my Promarkers.

I added glossy accents to the little red hearts on the image and also some extra die cut hearts to balance the design and add lots more extra love to my card.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

April - Guest Design Team Spot - Through the Purple Haze Blog

Hi there everyone Happy Thursday! I hope that you are all ok and having a great week.

Today I am sharing a card that I have made for the Through the Purple Haze Blog Challenge.

One of my cards won the challenge in and my prize was a digital stamp and the spot as Guest Design team member .

The digital stamp that I chose as my prize is by All Dressed Up and is called Looking Good

I wanted to keep the image of the girl as the focal point of the card so added just some pale grey  ink stencilling to the background and created a simple  sketchy pavement with my promarkers to ground the image.

The strips of designer paper at the side of the panel are from a 6" x 6" paper pad that my cousin bought for me last year and add just a touch of bling - the papers have gold foiling on them and I thought were perfect to coordinate with my colour scheme. 

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenges over on the  Through the Purple Haze blog.

Hasta luego 👋

A Passion for Markers BlogSpot Challenge #684 - Animals

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all !

I'm back today with a new DT Inspiration card for the Passion for Markers Blog challenge.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by the wonderful All Dressed Up.

I think this is my first time colouring a digital stamp from this company and I was really looking forward to the opportunity.  It definitely wont be my last image as they are beautiful wispy/sketchy images and lovely to colour and definitely different to my normal style of digital stamp.

There are load of lovely images in the store, so why not take a look and join in with the challenge.  Don't forget there will be a prize for the Winner of the challenge - there are more details over on the blog.

The Blog theme chosen by Nat for Team 2 is 'Animals' and this is my inspiration for the challenge made using a digital image from All Dressed Up called Summer Swing - I couldn't resist it when I saw this sweet Kitty on his Swing.

I've coloured him like our cat Smokey who is sadly no longer with us but I'm sure he would have loved being on a swing like this kitty who I think is having loads of fun.

The image was coloured with my Promarkers (see below for colours used) before being fussy cut out.

It's a larger 5" x 7" card and I've created a cloudy background panel for my design, blending distress ink with a cloud stencil then layered onto a piece of Kraft card, leaving a small border.

I used one of my newer stamps to add a perfect sentiment to my card, stamping with a blue Versafine Clair ink.

The branch was die cut from the Kraft card (its hidden below my cloud panel) and then I have die cut leaves from an inky background created with several different green distress inks.

To complete the card I have mounted my kitty onto the cloud panel using low profile foam tape so the swing rope is tucked under the branch.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
