A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #822 - Use Ribbon or Lace - Sponsored by RAM Stamps

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day - We've had a few days now of cold, wind and rain and there's more to come this week - I do love days when I can craft and catch up with my blog especially when its too cold to be outside. 

So glad we have our log burner for the evenings and we've also treated ourselves to a huge electric blanket for the sofa too - it makes such a big difference and a couple of the kitties are also in love with it LOL.

Today I'm here to let you know that there's a new week long challenge on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge and I hope that you will join in as there is a prize up for grabs.

This week we are being sponsored by RAM Stamps and our theme is very simple - Use Ribbon or Lace being hosted by Kitty for Team 2.

As we've had so much rain over recent days I decided today to use the very sweet Friendship Mouse printed out and coloured with my Promarkers before fussy cutting out.

I have absolutely loads of ribbons but very rarely use them in my cards these days - something else I need to use more to create some space LOL.

The white top panel is a pre-cut panel that I've had for many years from Craftwork cards so I started by stencilling s few rain drops onto this before wrapping a small piece of sheer blue ribbon around the bottom of the panel.  I added a peice of blue paper to the card base and stamped a sentiment in the bottom right corner of the card

The stencilled panel was adhered to the card base with foam tape and then the sweet little mouse adhered onto the rain drops again with foam tape.

The finishing touches were some clear sparkle onto the puddle and the rain drops and glossy accents to the little lady bird.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

I hope that you join in with the challenge as don't forget 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

Enjoy the rest of your day !

A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #726 - Add some Sparkle

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 'Add some Sparkle' has been chosen by Elaine for team 2 and being sponsored by Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamps

I chose to use one of the new digital images called Stacked Chicks for my card today.... They look like they are having loads of fun with their Easter eggs.

This is a 5 x 7 portrait card with absolutely loads of sparkle although this is really hard to take photographs of so you will have to trust me ! - It's very  Sparkly! 

The image was resized to suit the card, printed on a laser printer and then coloured with my Promarkers.  

To create my scene for the chicks I've blended a little tumble glass distress ink over the background for the sky and then used my Minc to apply a super sparkly glitter foil to the design.  The Minc foil is basically applied to all of the LaserJet printed areas - so the outline of the image.

Next I adhered a piece of striped pattern paper to my card blank, edge to edge leaving no white border.

I wanted to frame the main image so decided to die cut an arch from a piece of sparkly lemon glitter card and I thin border from from a burgundy card to coordinate with the designer series paper on the card blank.

I used a stitched rectangle die to add a detailed edge to the glitter card.

To finish off my very sparkly design a handful of sequins were adhered around the panel for just a bit more sparkle.

I hope that you join in with the challenge as there is a prize from the sponsor for our lucky winner!

A Passion for Markers BlogSpot Challenge #697 - A shaped card

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! It feels so good to be able to craft a little bit more, just slowly and being careful not to overdo it...I really missed it. 

I'm here today to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Rachelle Anne Miller RAM Stamps

There are loads of sweet digital images by the very talented Rachelle Anne Miller in the on line store...well worth a look.

The theme this week chosen by Nat for Team 2 is to make a shaped card and as July is here already and that means 'Christmas in July' for us crafters, I decided to make a Christmas card....my first for Christmas in July.

I have to say that I don't make many shaped cards but I do love a simple circular card so that's what I chose along with one of the gorgeous new release digital stamps from RAM Stamps called 'Christmas Peace' , coloured with my Promarkers.

Don't forget there will be a prize for the Winner of the challenge - there are more details over on the Passion for Markers blog.

I coloured the sweet image with my promarkers (see below for colours used) and then fussy cut it out carefully  leaving a small white border.  I have used a gold gelly roll pen to outline the letters making them super sparky and added clear sparkle to the little angel.

Next I created my circular card base using dies from Lisa Horton Crafts and some of her lovely navy blue cardstock.  I chose to layer up the card with some pretty wintery papers from Craftwork cards before adding my word using foam squares for extra dimension.

Finally I have used a butterfly die to cut out 3 small butterflies, adding these around the design with small gems for detail.  I added lots of clear sparkle to the image and stickles to the flowers in the grass.

The small sentiment strip above the design is from Lisa Horton Crafts, matted on navy card and foam squares for height.

Finally I have added a little doodling around the circular card edges in gold and a scattered a few pieces of gold confetti around the design.

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 👋
