A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #828 - Anything Masculine - Sponsored by Dr Digi

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day -  I was so late updating my blog for today - got completely side tracked after yoga yesterday and then I managed to do a little pruning in the garden so tired myself out...so I'm in a rush this morning to get it written and published before my haircut at 10 !

Its gone so cold here again - even though its nearly Spring officially and its hot when you are in the sunshine its very cold in the shade and even colder in the house 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 Dr Digis House of Stamps
and our theme is very simple - Anything Masculine and is being hosted by Elaine for Team 2. I'm still struggling to make more Masculine less cutesy cards - I should try harder I know.

I'm a Rock Chick at heart and I know quite a few Old Rockers who are also into their motorbikes so I decided today to use this cheeky Dr Digi stamp called Aubery Bumblethorpe colouring with my Promarkers before cutting out on my ScanNCut.


I then created a metal looking grid plate using an embossing folder in my stash, from black card and silver gilding wax. To tie in with Aubery's t-shirt I cut some red glitter stars and a large black glitter star to add to the background panel, cutting to fit the card base.


The perfect sentiment is from the Gnome for Men collection by Polkadoodles.


Finishing touches were glossy accents for his glasses and some silver gel pen on the buttons and belt.




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





Hasta luego 👋




Enjoy the rest of your day !

Digi Choosday - Perfect Peony - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you are having a good week....

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current '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 Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is to create a thank you card but not a square or a rectangle. 

So I chose to create a circular rocker style card - these are so simple to make and really effective too.  The finished card fits a standard 6" x 6" envelope, so perfect to pop in the post.

I created the base of my card, die cutting  a fancy edged circle from pink card stock and then folding this in half, scoring and burnishing.

I decided for my main image to use the beautiful pre-coloured Perfect Peony digi deal, resizing this to fit my card before printing out 3 times.  I chose a sentiment from the Honey pie Just Lovely greeting bundle and added this to my base layer. These images are perfect when you don't have much time but want to make a beautiful but quick card.

I used a torn edge die to cut out the base image and then fussy cut out extra flowers, decoupaging with foam for dimension.

To finish off my project I added some ultrafine flower soft to the centre of the flowers and some confetti around the design.

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

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
