Passion for Promarkers - Lots of layers...

Good morning, crafty friends! Well, another Tuesday rolls around again! It seems crafty time is at a premium at the moment, mainly because the season has started for us to get away in our campervan, Daisy and so every opportunity is grabbed with both hands...and apart from workshop makes and card orders, the only crafting I seem to do is for our challenges at Passion for Promarkers...Which is why I'm here!...
We have a brand new challenge starting today and it is my turn to host.  I've given you all a nice, easy theme of 'Lots of layers', so no excuse to play along!...

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/leehollandart

We are being sponsored by the wonderful artist Lee Holland, who is offering one lucky person a choice of 2 digital images from his online store...and they are all just gorgeous! (Just don't forget that to be in with  a chance of winning the prize, you MUST use your Letraset/Winsor & Newton mediums and follow the challenge theme)

We were lucky enough to be able to choose an image to play with and I picked out the super cute Pig in Wellies, though I could have chosen any one of his wonderful images...

I had to give my little pig a pair of bright red, shiny Wellington boots to splash around in his puddle and made the sentiment to tie in with the theme...
The papers are all a mix from my CDs and the rainbow is from Another Play on Words embellishment sheets. I added a touch of glitter...because why not?!...and a couple of teardrop gems to represent water splashes.
I hope you can play along with my challenge theme this week and look forward to seeing all of your wonderful makes...
Crafty hugs,
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges :

Passion for Promarkers - Patterned papers...

Good morning, Blogger buddies! My, these days are rolling by so fast?!...the Easter holidays have begun and we've started our season in the camper, so weekends are being spent switching off to television, internet and technology, and replaced with bike rides, long walks and board games! Trying to fit everything into a short week after being away is proving interesting, but for now, it's back to some craftiness!...
We have a brand new challenge starting over at Passion for Promarkers and we're being sponsored by the wonderful All Dressed Up, who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digis from their online store...
It's the lovely Julie in the hostess chair this week, setting us a really simple challenge theme of Patterned Papers...what could be easier and something I'm sure we all have a lot of?!
We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked the ever so pretty 'Butterfly Wings'. My patterned paper was from a pad that the lovely Denise sent to me, called Country Park and the green one has been in my stash...forever! I decoupaged the little butterflies for added dimension and added some crystal glitter here and there, because what fairy style image would be complete without it?!
Right, off to shuffle some paper around with Mum, in preparation for our next workshop...I hope you can find the time to play along with our easy challenge this week and look forward to seeing what you all create.
Crafty hugs,
I'd like to enter my card into All Dressed Up's April Challenge #92, which is Anything Goes using an ADU Image

Passion for Promarkers - Make it Cute...

Good evening, Blogger buddies! Sorry for the late posting, only we have spent the day at the NEC in Birmingham for the Sign & Digital Show, where they showcase all things print...so many wonderful ideas! I have come away with a want for vinyl cutters, sublimation printers and everything else in between...there are so many amazing products out there!
Anywho...it's Tuesday and you all know what that means by now?!...yep, it's a brand new challenge starting over at Passion for Promarkers! This week it's the lovely Sue in the hostess chair, giving us a fun theme of 'Make it Cute' and we are being sponsored by Crafty Sentiment Designs, who are kindly offering one lucky winner 3 digi images from their online store...

Right, that's all the official stuff out of the way, so on to my card...


We were generously offered an image to play with and I went with the (aptly) ever so cute 'With Love' bear. I paper pieced some of the balloon patches and the little bear's pads with the yellow plaid from the Weather set of Another Play on Words and coloured him using my Pro/Flexmarkers. The backing plaid is from the Hibiscus set of Say it with Flowers and I added a pieced sentiment, rather than one large one. A layer of lemon glitter card and my signature three pearls finished the card off.

Right, there's a stack of dishes in the sink and a basket of ironing with my name on, so I'd better get a move on!...I hope you can find the time to play along with our challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your makes.

Crafty hugs,
