A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #817 - Add some bling - Sponsored by Clearly Besotted

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day - I hope that week is going well for you.  I'm slowly getting back into the rhythm of blogging again - not sure why its so hard at the moment - even though we have finished the olives there is still so much to do everyday.  Just all the Winter jobs on the campo !


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 some bling' has been chosen by Elaine for team 2 and is being sponsored by Clearly Besotted



The perfect theme for all those Winter celebration and Christmas cards don't you think 

For my card today I decided to create a snowy scene for a couple of very cute penguins - they look like they are having loads of fun sliding down the snowy slopes.



I chose one of the fabulous pre-coloured winter backgrounds for my 5" x7" card matting this with silver card.  Next I die cute some super sparkly snowy slopes from silver glitter card, layering these onto the bottom of the card.

I die cut a couple of Christmas trees using one of the green papers from the collection adding these to the scene.

Next, I resized the Snow Day image to suite my design colouring with promarkers before fussy cutting out and adding to the scene.

This image just makes me smile - it's so cute !

The finishing touches were some white gelly roll pen highlights on the penguins and then some extra bling teal and clear sequins.

Its definitely a card packed with bling !

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

Winnie Daisy Fairy - Taking a Break with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone wishing you a very happy Tuesday.  I hope that you have a lovely day today and enjoy the week ahead.

I'm off to my Spanish Ladies Crafty group later on today - wish me luck as my Spanish needs loads of work but its craft so I ll give it a go!



It's that time again when we launch a brand new 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!



The theme set for the DT this week is Mothers Day, but as 
I don't make specific Mothers day cards anymore, I decided to make a card that would be perfect to send to a friend just to let her know that I'm thinking about her on Mothers Day, or any occasion really.

I chose to use Winnie Daisy Fairy - Taking a Break Toadstool as my main image and decided to combine this with one of the fabulous new backgrounds that Nikky Hall has brought us recently.  

I added Winnie to the Country Road Scene background on my computer and the sentiment is from Winnie Special Moments bundle

I wonder if Winnie has carried her toadstool on her walk or just found it at the side of the path ?

The image and background have been coloured with my promarkers (see below for colours) for this one layer card and I'm really made up with how it looks.

If you love colouring but like me you don't feel able to create your own background from scratch then these backgrounds are just perfect  so why not give it a go !

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Polkadoodles.


Hasta luego ๐Ÿ‘‹ 


Enjoy the rest of your day !
