A Passion for Markers BlogSpot Challenge #697 - A shaped card

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! It feels so good to be able to craft a little bit more, just slowly and being careful not to overdo it...I really missed it. 

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


This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Rachelle Anne Miller RAM Stamps

There are loads of sweet digital images by the very talented Rachelle Anne Miller in the on line store...well worth a look.






The theme this week chosen by Nat for Team 2 is to make a shaped card and as July is here already and that means 'Christmas in July' for us crafters, I decided to make a Christmas card....my first for Christmas in July.

I have to say that I don't make many shaped cards but I do love a simple circular card so that's what I chose along with one of the gorgeous new release digital stamps from RAM Stamps called 'Christmas Peace' , coloured with my Promarkers.

Don't forget there will be a prize for the Winner of the challenge - there are more details over on the Passion for Markers blog.





I coloured the sweet image with my promarkers (see below for colours used) and then fussy cut it out carefully  leaving a small white border.  I have used a gold gelly roll pen to outline the letters making them super sparky and added clear sparkle to the little angel.


Next I created my circular card base using dies from Lisa Horton Crafts and some of her lovely navy blue cardstock.  I chose to layer up the card with some pretty wintery papers from Craftwork cards before adding my word using foam squares for extra dimension.

Finally I have used a butterfly die to cut out 3 small butterflies, adding these around the design with small gems for detail.  I added lots of clear sparkle to the image and stickles to the flowers in the grass.

The small sentiment strip above the design is from Lisa Horton Crafts, matted on navy card and foam squares for height.

Finally I have added a little doodling around the circular card edges in gold and a scattered a few pieces of gold confetti 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
