A Passion for Markers BlogSpot #749 - Christmas in July - Sponsored by SheepSki Designs

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 'Christmas in July' (Well it had to be really ! has been chosen by Me for team 2 and is being sponsored by Sheepski Designs

For my card today I chose to use a fun digital image called Snowmen Selfie...I wanted to make today's card look like one of those old Polaroid photos..not that old really and I think they had a bit of a trendy come back a couple of years ago!

This is a simple portrait card that easily fits into a standard 6" x 6" envelope.  I started off by creating my card blank cutting a piece of lilac card measuring 12" x 5" and scoring at 6", folding and burnishing.

The image was then resized to suit the card and I also printed out a digital sentiment on alcohol friendly card stock in my LaserJet printer.  

I coloured the snowmen with my Promarkers, keeping a simple vivid palette (see below for colours used) and then foiled the sentiment in my Minc machine. 

I then used a rectangular die  and a square die to create my polaroid, cutting out of glossy phot paper so I could mount the frame over the image. 
The foiled sentiment was mounted onto the bottom of the frame using scrap card for a small amount of depth.

The finishing touches were some white roll pen highlights and I used a white posca pen on one of the hats.

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
