A Passion for Markers BlogSpot #755 - Shaped cards - Sponsored by Doctor Digis House of Stamps

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day !

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

This weeks challenge theme of 'Shaped Cards' has been chosen by Kitty for team 2 and the prize this week is being given by Dr Digis House of Stamps

This is a simple  pop out card that fits into an A6 (UK size) envelope.  card today with all of the focus on the fabulous and fun image from Dr Digis House of Stamps called  Mateo El Mariachi 

I'm still on a mission making more male themed cards and this is perfect for those fun birthday celebrations.

I started by creating my pop up card from a blue textured card stock and then used some of the fabulous blue paper from the set to mat onto the card base.

I added a small strip down the central panel for extra interest. 

I then resized the digital image of Mareo printing out and colouring with promarkers, before fussy cutting out.

The finishing touches were white gel pen highlights and clear sparkle to his fabulous silver suit - I wish you could see the sparkle.

The sentiment was printed out and I used a blue metallic gelly roll pen to colour it in before adding to the bottom of the card for Mateo to stand on.

I hope that you join in with the challenge as there is a prize from the sponsor for our lucky winner!

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 !

I Love Promarkers #557 - Shapes - Sponsored by Sheepski Designs

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! 

I'm on my blog today for the new bi-weekly I Love Promarkers blog challenge , it would be wonderful if you joined us over there if you love to colour with alcohol markers and don't forget there are prizes up for grabs.  

You can find all of the rules and details for the challenge over on the blog. 

This challenge is being sponsored by Sheepski Designs

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Use Shapes, using the very beautiful Wild Roses digital stamp.  

My favourite colour combination at the moment is yellow and purple, they are such happy Spring colours so I decided my wild roses would be a pale yellow. Todays card is a 5" x 7" portrait card. 

I resized the digital image to suit my design and then printed out on alcohol marker friendly card stock before colouring with Promarkers (see below for colours) and fussy cutting out. 

I then used my Minc machine to apply rose gold foil over the top of the floral image, it gives it such a beautiful finish.

Next I created the background panel, starting with a piece of white card stock, I used several hexagon dies to cut out apertures in the panel and then used a floral embossing folder to add texture.                                                                                                 

I used a piece of purple designer paper adhering this behind the apertures and then splattered gold metallic paint over the entire panel.  

Once dry I mounted the panel onto my card blank using foam tape and then used foam tape to add the wild rose sprig over the design. 

The finishing touches were a few pieces of rose gold confetti around the design and a simple strip sentiment.

I really hope that you like 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 I Love Markers blog

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
