I Love Promarkers #543 - Add a Bow Sponsored by CFL Digi Designs

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 CFL Digi Designs one of our amazing and very talented teamies.

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Add a Bow, using one of the beautiful images from the A little Coffee set.  

There's something so calming about the image that I loved and whats better than a cup of coffee when you are having one of those days - especially with a good friend.

I don't tend to colour more realistic images like this one but I'm really pleased with the result and it was good to challenge myself too to try something different.

It's a larger 5 " x 7" card and to start off I created an inky background using distress inks and a coffee ring stencil. Just some simple ink smooshing and splattering and then I have used the stencil to add the coffee rings and extra splashes.

Next I added the digital sentiment which I think is perfect for this card to my resized image in my graphics software and then printed it out onto alcohol marker friendly card stock before colouring with my promarkers.  This panel was then cut out with a stitched frame die and I created a mat layer from white card adding the same distress ink around the edge of the panel.

Once everything was completely dry I've assembled the card add some red recycled string around the base panel and adding a simple little bow in the corner.  I don't normally use bows on my cards these days so wanted to keep it very simple but I thought the splash of red works well with the blue and brown colour palette.

To finish off my card I have added some rose gold confetti around the design

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 !
