Passion for promarkers #146–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope the weather is better where you are than it is here as it’s wet and wild and staying that way all week if the forecasters are to be believed.  However that’s why crafting is the perfect hobby in this weather as you can stay indoors nice and snug and wile away the hours in your crafting area. 

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge and this week the lovely Nic has set the theme of “cut it out”, so basically we want to see all your die cuts.  I’m sure it will be a popular theme.  Here is my card:

I have used a gorgeous digi image from Crafts and Me called Aliah and coloured her with promarkers.  The dies I’ve used are die-namics ‘by the numbers’ dies, spellbinders ‘fleur de lis accents’, circle nesties and magnolia doohickeys swirl from the ‘leaf & swirl’ set.  The beautiful flower was cut from a rose ribbon.  The finished card is 8x8 in size and I made it for my mother’s birthday.

Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Creative craft world challenge – use black

Sassy studio designs challenge – flowers and flourishes

Fussy and fancy challenge – punches and dies

2 sisters challenge – use a digi

Passion for Promarkers #144–DT card

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.

Stamp with fun #155–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you all had a brilliant weekend and are raring to go for the week ahead. Unfortunately it’s back to work for me after a week off but at least it’s a short week this week as it’s a bank holiday on Friday!. I’ve got a busy week as it’s my mother’s birthday tomorrow (as well as my SIL’s step-son) and as usual I’m running late and haven’t made their cards yet lol!

I’m here this morning to share my card for this week’s challenge over at Stamp with Fun challenge.  The theme this week is a really simple one “anything but an Easter card”.  Here is my card:

I was asked to make this card by my cousin to give to his daughter for her 30th birthday.  The image is a stamp from Crafts and Me called ‘believe’ which I coloured with promarkers and flex markers.  Isn’t it a beautiful image and a bit more grown up than I usually use but I love it and will definitely be using it lots.  The gorgeous papers are echo park from the ‘victoria gardens’ paper pad and the stunning die cuts are spellbinders from the ‘fleur de lis accents’ set which I recently bought from the we{heart}craft shop.  I didn’t add too many embellishments as the image was quite large and the paper was so pretty I didn’t want to cover it up too much.  The finished card is A5 in size.

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.   We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Fairy tale challenge – everything goes

Stamping for the weekend challenge – anything goes

2 sisters challenge – birthday fun

Totally gorjuss challenge – swirls and whirls (if my swirly die cuts don’t count please delete me)

OSAAT challenge – something new (my stamp is new)

Stamptacular challenge – playin’ with pastels

I hope you will be able to join in with our challenge this week and I cannot wait to see what you create.  I will be back later with my post for this week’s cupcake craft challenge (although there is no card from me this week as it is the turn of Team B to share their creations) but I will be giving you full details of the challenge theme and prizes up for grabs.  Until then thanks so much for stopping by.
