A Passion for Markers BlogSpot #747 - Favourite colours - Sponsored by LeAnn's World 101

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 'Favourite colours' has been chosen by Nat for team 2 and being sponsored by LeAnn's World 101...I think you'll be able to see what my favourite colours are !

As it's now Christmas in July I chose to use a sweet Christmassy digital images called Tangled Trisha for my card today ....This reminds me of us each year trying to untangle the Christmas lights ! No matter how neat and tidy they are put away, they always come out of the box all tangled up again! Must be the Christmas Elves.

This is a 5 x 7 portrait card with layers of fuchsia pink and purple card and a fabulous inky background panel too.

 

I used a peice of 300gsm watercolour card and began by creating an inky background using my distress inks, drying in between each layer.  Once I was happy with the layers and the depth of colour I used an embossing folder to add details to the panel and then added gold watercolour highlights.  

Next I resized the image to suit the card adding a sentiment to the bottom of the panel before printing out on alcohol friendly card stock and colouring with my Promarkers (see below for colours used). Once the card had been assembled I splattered more gold paint across the whole card and added white gel pen highlights and glossy accents to the fairy lights.  

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 !
