Happy Tuesday dear friends. Oh dear it’s back to work for me today *groan* but on the plus side it’s a shorter working week *yay*. Another plus is that it’s time for a brand new challenge over at passion for promarkers challenge. This week the lovely Maya has set the theme and she has chosen “white on white”, such a pretty theme isn’t it. We only want to see your image coloured, all your papers/card must be white but we will allow lightly inked edges! The only problem with WOW cards is photographing them (and you know that’s not my strongest area anyway lol!). Here is my card:
I have used a beautiful stamp from Crafts and Me called ‘city girl’ and coloured her with promarkers. It is a brand new stamp and even though I stamped it about 4 times I couldn’t get a perfect impression. I even tried blotting the stamp with cellotape to try and remove any residue – any ideas for next time I use it! I went a bit mad with all the dies I used including Marianne creatables rolled roses, die-namics butterflies and die-namics border die. The embossing folder is from sizzix and is called ‘folksy fun’. I inked the edges with a cats eye chalk ink pad and added some white pearls to finish.
Our sponsor this week is Letraset and one lucky winner will receive a Promarker Stamping Kit.
The rest of the design team have created amazing cards as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out. We really appreciate the comments you leave for us.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
I’m rushing to do the post before work so will add this later!
I hope you can join in with our challenge this week and I look forward to seeing what you create. Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by today.

I've seen one suggestion of going over the stamp with a pencil eraser to remove any residue - similar idea to your cellotape idea, I guess.
