Passion for promarkers #60 – DT card

Hello everyone, it’s the day after my birthday, which makes me kinda sad ‘cos I had such a good day yesterday.  Thank you for all your wonderful birthday messages – it makes me so happy to be part of this wonderful community of thoughtful and generous people. 

I’m here to share with you my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge.  This week Julie has set the challenge and her theme is “animals” so we would like to see your animal images, but of course they must be coloured with your promarkers to be eligible for our prize draw.  Here is my card: 

 

Over at PFP we are proud to be offering a prize on the A spoonfull of sugar challenge card drive for Michelle and as our theme was a perfect fit for their free donkey image/sentiments most of the DT have used this image on their cards this week.  It’s amazing how different all our cards look even though we’ve used the same image.  If you haven’t had a chance to pick up the image yet pop over to the ASFOS blog and grab it and of course send a card to Michelle. 

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a $10.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

Please pop over and check out all the DT cards, as the team have all created gorgeous samples for your inspiration once again this week.  We appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us. 

I can enter my card into the following challenges:

Friday sketchers challenge – sketch

Paper sundaes challenge – lots of layers

Flutterby Wednesday challenge – anything goes

Little red wagon challenge – nestabilities

Stampavie and more challenge – sparkling

The sugar bowl challenge #24

My card today is for the the sugar bowl challenge, which this week has a gorgeous sketch by Marlene to follow (& the must include option is zig-zag). I’ve used a sugar nellie image from the home grown autumn kit (which I’m only now getting around to inking up!!) and I coloured the image with my promarkers. I used kraft card from elzybells and the full sheet of paper is SU. The smaller patterned pieces are from my scrap box and the plain indigo paper is pink petticoat, which I ran through the CB with the swiss dots embossing folder. I used my MS zig-zag embossed border punch for the strip across the middle of the card and the adhesive stones are PM. I haven’t added a sentiment yet as I don’t know it will be for. I really liked the layout and didn’t add any extra embellishments as I didn’t want to spoil it. Thanks for stopping by today.

Edited to add - thank you to Marianne for pointing out that I couldn't combine my sugar bowl card with other challenges if I wanted to be included in the draw for the prizes - thanks hun - maybe I should pay more attention to the rules in future lol :)

Bee crafty challenge #18

This is my card for the current bee crafty challenge, which is ‘add some sparkle’.  I made for this for my niece’s 16th birthday last Monday.  The image is digital and is by sketching stamper and is called ‘vicki shops’.  I coloured the image with my promarkers.  The gorgeous glittery paper is by DCWV from the glitter stack (and this was my last piece *sob*) and the grid papers is doodlebug.  The flowers are from my stash and the leaves were punched with my L’em punch.  The sentiments were created on the pc (the round one was cut with my nesties and the oval one with my SU oval punches) and the adhesive glittery dots were from QVC. 

It was my son’s 13th birthday yesterday (Saturday) and I can’t believe that my baby is now a teenager *yikes*).  We went for a birthday treat of pizza and cinema.  He wanted to see 2012 and it was quite good, although I was a typical girl and cried in all the sad bits!!  Here is a picture of my son taken in the summer (he’ll kill me if he sees this).

I’m also going to enter my card for a spoonfull of sugar challenge as their challenge this week is a colour combo of brown plus either pink or blue.  Obviously I have used pink but there is a bit of orange too so I hope this will still count.  I hope you are all having a fab weekend.  Thanks for stopping by.

A spoonfull of sugar #73/stamp something

**THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY – PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY CUPCAKE CRAFT CHALLENGE DT CARD **

I’m cutting it extremely finely for the a spoonfull of sugar challenge this week, which is a fabulous sketch by Caryn (who is also my fellow DT member at PFP).  This card also fits the bill at stamp something challenge this week, where the theme is ‘bling somethings’.  I stamped a sugar nellie gorjuss girl image called ‘untamed’ (available at funky kits) and coloured her with my promarkers.  I wanted to use quite bright and funky colours as it was for a young girl and chose pink and orange after finding this stunning DCWV glitter card (aptly from the glitter stack lol).  The pink paper is doodlebug and the plain orange paper is a freebie from a craft magazine.  The flowers were cut out with my ek success retro flower punches and the adhesive stones are kaiser craft.  The sentiment was created on the pc and the ribbon bows are from ideal world (a very long time ago).  This card was for an order and it is A5 size.  Thanks for stopping by.

ASFOS #65/Stamp with fun #21

**** This is my second post for today – please scroll down for my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge ****

The challenge over at a spoonfull of sugar this week is ‘travel’ and the stamp with fun challenge is 'at sea' so I thought this card would be perfect! I stamped the PB ‘fishing’ image and coloured it with my promarkers. The papers are all BG from the archaic paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The circles were cut with my woodware scalloped circle punch and the ribbon is from my stash. The sentiment was created on the pc and the adhesive stones are PM. The decorative edge on the blue panel was cut with fiskars scissors.

I’m sorry I’m keeping you all in suspenders (lol!) but my night was super busy last night so didn’t have chance to announce my blog candy winner. I will definitely be back later to put you all out of your misery! Thanks for stopping by today.

Digital Tuesday #18/ASFOS #63

This card is my entry for this week’s digital tuesday challenge which is ‘bling’ and also the a spoonfull of sugar challenge which is ‘floral fantasy’.  I made this card a little while ago for a friend at work to give to her friend who was a teacher and obviously was retiring.  Now you may wonder why the zebra is on there but that was a personal request and is a private job between the two friends!!  Anyway onto the card.  I used an image by the greeting farm called ‘teacher anya’ and coloured her with my promarkers.  I cut out the apple twice and added the second apple with a foam pad for a 3d effect.  The school books image is a freebie digital image from lindsay weirich and I again coloured the image with my promarkers.  The zebra was a freebie image that I found on google and I just coloured the grass in!  The gorgeous paper is cosmo cricket and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The flowers were cut with the large and medium retro flower punches and the bling is supplied with brads by PM.  The sentiment was created on the pc (and again was a personal request by the lady that ordered the card).  The card size is an A4 (A3 folded in half) although it’s difficult to tell in the pic.  Thanks for stopping by today and for all the lovely comments and interest in my candy.  Keep spreading the word lol! 

ASFOS #60 & Colour Create #23

Hello and welcome to the weekend!  This is my card for 2 challenges – a spoonfull of sugar challenge is a sketch this week and the colour create challenge is blue and white with the optional extra of vintage.  I stamped the SN image ‘demure’ and coloured her with my promarkers.  The gorgeous dp is all BG from the marrakech paper pad.  The flower heads are from Joanna Sheen and the blue flowers are from my stash.  The adhesive stones are PM and the sentiment was created on the pc.  I know this isn’t totally vintage but I think the image lends itself to a vintage feel (I think so anyway lol!).  Thanks for stopping by today, hope the weather has improved where you are (it’s dry here at the moment). 

ASFOS #59

This week’s challenge over at A spoonfull of Sugar is ‘hearts’.  I recently had to make an engagement card for a friend at work and this fit the bill perfectly.  I stamped the PB image ‘good cheer’ and coloured it with my promarkers, adding sparkles to the champagne with a sakura stardust pen.  The dp is all DCWV (the black and white is from the glitter stack and the grey and white stripe is from the wedding stack).  The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the sentiment was created on the pc.  The decorative edge was punched with my fiskars border punch and the heart stones are PM.  Thanks for stopping by today. 

ASFOS #57

This week’s challenge over at a spoonfull of sugar is ‘weddings’ and that’s all I’ve seemed to make this past few days is wedding cards so this challenge was perfect for me. I had a special request for a lady at work to make a football themed wedding card (in particular England and Bournemouth FC) and this is what I came up with. I stamped the greeting farm image (from the cake topper set) and coloured it with my promarkers. The dp is BG from the boxer paper pad and the sentiment was created on the pc. The adhesive stones are PM and the football logo’s were from the internet and just printed onto card and cut out. I’m really happy with the finished card and the lady that ordered it was thrilled too. Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you’ve been enjoying the glorious weather.

Sunday sketch & stamp #3/ASFOS #53/charisma cardz #21

This card was made for one our the doctors at my hospital who has just had her second baby girl awww. I managed to combine three challenges into this card, which I haven't done for a while lol! Firstly the sketch is this week's Sunday sketch & stamp challenge, ASFOS this week is looking for lace and the charisma cardz challenge this week is 'going dotty' (which includes circles). Anyway onto the card..... I stamped the elzybells image and coloured it with my promarkers, adding stickles to the star. The sentiment is from a set by verve called family phrases. The dp is all by making memories (again from the candy I received from Sally-Ann) and the velvet ribbon is from my stash. The decorative lace edging was cut with my fiskars border punch and the flowers and charm (which I know is not that clear but says princess) are from my stash. The adhesive stones are PM. I love baby cards, especially baby girl cards, although I don't seem to make that many. Thanks for stopping by.

ASFOS #42/Charisma cardz #10

Here I am again chasing my tail and trying to catch up with challenges. This is my entry for the sketch on 'a spoon full of sugar' and the charisma cardz challenge is 'something for the guys'. I stamped the paper nation rugby man image and coloured him with my pro-markers. The dp is all DCWV and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment was created on the pc (and no I didn't make a mistake the lady that ordered it wanted it exactly like that lol!) and the adhesive stones are PM.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cupcake challenge #29/ASFOS #41/LOTV #21

This is my (very last gasp) card for this week's cupcake challenge, which is an inspirational photo and also my entry for the a spoonful of sugar challenge, which is 'torn edges' and the lily of the valley challenge, which is 'bright and beautiful'. I stamped the rubber stampede image using my SU stamping spots. The dp is DCWV from the blossoms and butterflies stack and the plain cs is bazzill bling. The sentiment is elzybells, which I punched out with my woodware retro labels punch. The pearls are kanban and the ric-rac ribbon is from my stash. Apologies for the glare in the photo but the bazzill bling played havoc with the flash on the camera. Thanks for stopping by.

ASFOS #39

This is my entry for this week's a spoonfull of sugar challenge, which is a sketch. I stamped the gorgeous princess anya image (the greeting farm) and coloured her with my pro-markers and added some sakura stardust pen to her crown and stick thing* (can't remember what it's called LOL!). The dp is doodlebug and the plain pink cs is from the papermill shop. The brown cs is bazzill bling. The flowers and buttons are from my stash and the adhesive gems are again my new ones that I threw away the packet and can't remember who makes them (d'0h). The sentiment was done on my pc and the sticky ribbon is by anita's. Hope you like. Will be back soon with another card. Thanks for looking.

Sketch Sat #37/Penny Black #35/ASFOS #38

FF challenge/Sketch Saturday #35/ASFOS #35

I've again combined three challenges with this card. The forever friends challenge is 'ribbon', A spoonful of sugar challenge is 'oh baby' and the sketch saturday is obviously a sketch. I used my forever friends stamp and coloured it in with my pro-markers. I attempted to hand draw a brick wall behind the bear but not too sure if I pulled it off! The dp is from a paper pack but I can't remember where I got it as I only had a couple of pieces left. The beige and navy cs is bazzill bling and I used my fiskars threading water paper punch on the beige cs. The ribbon is by american crafts and the buttons are doodlebug. The sentiment is by verve. Thanks for looking.

A Spoon Full Of Sugar #33/Charisma Cardz challenge #1

This is the card I made for this week's ASFOS challenge #33 which was a sketch. It also fits the bill for Charisma Cardz challenge #1, which is to use pink. I used (again) an image by Leanne Ellis for Sugar Nellie Stamps and coloured her with my pro-markers. I used brown bazzill bling cs and the patterned cs was originally plain gingham from my stash but I randomly stamped the elzybells small flower image all over in sepia versafine ink. The sentiment was done on my pc and the name was done with see-d's alphabet stamps. The flowers with cut with x-cut flower punches in two different sizes and the ric-rac ribbon is from my stash. It's hard to tell because the photo is so dark but I added stickles to the centres of the all the stamped flowers. Thanks for looking.
