A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #797 - Add Flowers - Sponsored by Sheepski Designs

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day - Just a very quick post from me today as its my birthday and my cousin and best friend is visiting from the UK....we are off out down to the coast today for lunch at a fabulous restaurant overlooking the beach and water and then chilling by the pool - well it would be rude not to!  There might even be a few cocktails thrown in too for good measure.

There's 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 'Add flowers' has been chosen by Elaine for team 2 and is being sponsored by Sheepski Designs. The online Etsy store is now sadly closed but the lucky winner will be sent a link to download their chosen 3 images.

If you know me then you know I love strong vibrant colours  so I chose to use this fabulous image with a toucan and hibiscus.  We have some beautiful hibiscus in the garden and I love the more unusual colours, so I used that as inspiration.  I also wanted to create a sunset background to give the card a real tropical vibe.

The background panel was blended with distress inks and I love the end result.  The image was resized to suit the landscape A7 card, printing on alcohol friendly card stock before colouring  with my Promarkers and fussy cutting out.

I then used some fabulous dies to cut out the sentiment, hibiscus flowers and palm leaves, colouring with the same distress inks.

The finishing touches were some new sparkly gems to some of the flowers.

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 !
