I Love Promarkers #540 - Use dies Sponsored by Hetty Clare Art

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! I hope that you are having a lovely week.

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 Hetty Clare who is a new designer to me and I have to say I am loving the designs in the shop - I would recommend taking a look as there is something for everyone! 

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Use Dies. As I am still in Christmas in July mode I chose to you a sweet image called The Poinsettia  I love these beautiful plants - not just at Christmas ans I love the different colours of the leaves...we have a small one growing outside in our garden here in Spain.

Next I used one of my newer dies to cut out the image and cut the scalloped frame - I cut the frame in Kraft card too.

I decided to use a 6" x 6" Kraft card blank and began by adding a layer of red & white striped paper - This is actually from an envelope that I saved last Christmas as I loved it and knew it would come in handy this year.  I love the look of Red and Kraft together for Christmas projects.

The sweet image was resized in my graphics software before printing out onto alcohol marker friendly card and colouring with my Promarkers (see below for colours ) 

For anyone interested I like to use Transotype Perfect Colouring Paper for all of my digital images that I am going to colour with Promarkers.

Next I use a beautiful poinsettia die & 3D embossing folder to create the large poinsettia for my card, layering this up to fit my design and adding just a touch of gold gilding wax to highlight the leaves. 

Don't be afraid to cut into your die cuts to suit your project !

To finish off the card I have added a heat embossed and die cut sentiment and scattered some gold confetti around the design.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card for 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 !
