Passion for Promarkers - Cats or Dogs...

Good afternoon, dear blogger buddies! Hope you're all keeping warm on this cold and snowy Tuesday? I'm hoping that this is going to be the last of Winter and that Spring is soon on it's way...fingers crossed! 
Due to the icy conditions, I have been sat at my crafty table today, making up  batch cards for selling, but I'll share those again...for now, it's the start of a brand new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers and the lovely Hazel has set us a fun theme of Cats and/or Dogs...so whether it's doggy images or kitty papers, we want to see our canine and feline friends!
We are being sponsored by Dr Digis House of Stamps who are offering one lucky winner 2 digital images of their choice...
We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I chose 'Sofa So Good'...
I coloured up this fun image with my Pro/Flexmarkers and paper pieced the sofa with patterned paper, then rifled through my scrap drawers to try and find some papers to match...don't think I will ever learn to pick my papers THEN colour my image?!  I desperately need to use up some of my  scraps too, as the drawers are starting to get rather full now and I hate to throw any of them away!
Right, off to rustle something up for tea as I am so late in posting my DT card! Have a totally terrific Tuesday and I hope you can join in with our fun challenge this week!
Crafty hugs,
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges :
I Spy Something beginning with 'B' - Banners closes 1st March
Optional Birthday closes tomorrow
Favourite Way to Add a Sentiment & Why closes tomorrow
I love to add a digital sentiment to my cards as I can size them to fit wherever and use any font or colour I choose. I tend to add them on a shape or banner...usually because I only think of it when I get to the end of making my card?!
Cute Critters closes tomorrow

Passion for Promarkers - Add an embellishment...

Good morning, crafty friends and a happy Tuesday to you all! It's the start of a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers and this week the lovely Sue has given us an easy, peasy challenge theme of 'Add an embellishment', so hopefully we'll see lots of you playing along...
We're being sponsored by Digistamp Boutique who are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to their online store (which you should have no trouble spending!)

The lovely Sally Ann was generous to offer us an image of our choosing to play with and I went with the ever so cute 'Tweet Hearts' collection...
I also took the opportunity to make a card for hubby, for Valentine's Day...see, there's method in my madness!
I coloured Tweet with my Pro/Flexmarkers and decoupaged his head for a bit of added dimension. I used black mats to make the layers pop and for a touch of masculinity...and I couldn't resist adding a couple of those cute cloud dies, well, just because!  Some ribbon loops and a few gems and pearls constituted for my embellishments and I used one of the sentiments that came in the set too.
Hope you like my cute Valentine's Day card and I look forward to seeing what creations you all come up with!
