A Passion for Markers BlogSpot Challenge #711 - Colour Challenge use Green, Blue and Purple

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! I hope you are having a lovely week so far.

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

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Dies to Die For there are loads of wonderful crafty goodies available in the store so I would highly recommend taking a look.

The theme this week chosen by Me for Team 2 is a colour challenge - to use Green, Blue and Purple.

I decided to use one of the beautiful digi deals  from Polkadoodles called Fantasy Moon 

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 started by resizing the moon and flowers image to fit an A6 card panel and then printed this out twice onto alcohol marker friendly card stock.  I added the sentiment from the set too at the bottom of one of the panels.

I used my promarkers (see below for colours) to colour the flowers and leaves in different shade of blue, green and purple and then fussy cut the image out - yes very fiddly but I love the end result so worth the time and effort in my opinion.

On the second panel of the design I used my distress inks to create the background, blending the three colours, darkest at the top, lightest at the bottom.

Next I splattered a little water over the ink and used a piece kitchen roll to lift some of the ink from the panel.  I then splattered some white acrylic paint and metallic silver watercolour.

I adhered the coloured image over the inked panel and then finished off with gel pens and clear sparkle on the moon. I wish you see the sparkle better!

I added tiny clear gems on the bead strings hanging down from the moon and flowers to finish off my 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 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

A Passion for Markers BlogSpot Challenge #707 - Pink or Blue

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! 

Oh my goodness after about 4 days working on and off, we've managed to pack up all of our stuff out of the craft room/study and relocated it into the spare rooms, plus a load of stuff scattered all over! I really must de-stash when its being put back into my room....and the bathroom has been cleared so were ready for the work to start.

I have to say its a good job no one is coming to visit anytime soon...😅😅😅

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

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Dies to Die For  there are loads of lovely goodies and some fabulous brands available in the store so I would highly recommend taking a look.

The theme this week chosen by Linda for Team 2 is Pink or Blue.

I chose to use a sweet image from Pink Gem Designs called Yeti which is a great set of 12 digital stamps including, trees, mountains, footprints and a sentiment.

It had to be a Pink Yeti for me - they always seem to be blues and greys!

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 decided to make an a6 (UK size) simple snowy scene card today using a piece of pink snowflake paper from my stash and white glitter cardstock for the snowy hills.

I have added pink distress ink to the designer paper and die cut the glitter card with a hillside border die.  The sentiment was stamped in dark pink ink and I have coloured the yeti with my promarkers before fussy cutting out and adhering onto the card with foam tape.

To finish off my design I have adhered some pink 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
