Passion for promarkers #59 – DT card

Happy Tuesday everyone, I’m back to share with you my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge.  The lovely Emma has set the theme this week and she has chosen “give us a laugh” so we want to see your funny images and/or sentiments.  I had a bit of a mind block this week and left my card until the last possible moment but here is what I came up with:

As you can see from the sentiment my printer has decided to play up again, but I didn’t have an alternative but to use the rather grainy print-out as I left my card so late! 

Our sponsor this week is The Craft Garden and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

Please check out the rest of the DT cards this week and they are as stunning as always, but also so funny :)  I hope you will be able to join in with our challenge this week and I look forward to visiting your blogs. 

My card also fits in with the following challenges:

Anyone for Anya challenge – anything goes

Bizzy Becs challenge – sketch & stitching

Magical crafts challenge – flower power

Pile it on challenge – my favourite things (promarkers and patterned papers)

Cupcake inspirations challenge – photo inspiration (I used the colours)

Digi Doodle challenge #14 – GDT card

Wow my week off work is flying by – it’s already Thursday (boohoo).  I’m back to share with you my last GDT card for the digi doodle challenge and our theme is “dots and/or circles”.  Its a simple theme so we expect to see lots of lovely entries again this week.  Now I do have a confession to make – when I made my card and emailed it to Kym I realised that I’d forgotten about the theme (d’oh) but luckily for me I did include some dotty ribbon on my card so it passed phew!  Here is my card:

Sorry the image seems a little “pale” but again my printer wasn’t co-operating.  I used a gorgeous image from the digi doodle shop called “mermaid” and added stickles to her tail for a sparkly effect.  I hope you think the branches look like seaweed or some sort of underwater plant ‘cos that’s the effect I was going for lol!

The lucky winner will receive $10.00 to spend in the Digi Doodle Shop.  You will definitely have no trouble spending it – they have some very gorgeous images to drool over.  

Please check out the rest of the DT creations as they are really stunning.  They are a very talented bunch of ladies and they really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for them.
