Passion for Promarkers - Summer is on the way...

Good morning, crafty friends! Well, it certainly seems like Summer could be on the way with this fabulous weather that we're having! It's amazing how a bit of sunshine can lift my mood and give me motivation to get stuff done...though it doesn't help with my crafting, as I want to be outside rather than in!...
We have a brand new challenge starting today over at Passion for Promarkers and the lovely Marie has picked a topical theme of 'Summer is on the way'...

We're being sponsored by A Day for Daisies who are offering one lucky winner an $8 gift code to their online store...just don't forget that to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you must use your Winsor & Newton/Letraset products and follow the challenge theme...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I went with the ever so pretty Flowers in my Garden...

I used an offcut from the Sweet Garden Roses paper pad that I got from The Works and coordinated my colouring to match (this doesn't happen very often!) I coloured up the sweet image with my Pro/Flexmarkers and if you'd like the colour list, then here goes :

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink, Coral

Hair - Buttercup, Pastel Yellow, Champagne, Sandstone

Dress - Pale Pink, Cerise, Shocking Pink

Flowers - Cool Aqua, Surf Blue, Buttercup, Sunflower, Pastel Peach, Rose Peach

I added a die cut sun, inking through the die with Wild Honey Distress Oxide and clouds...just because I can! Some glittery organza ribbon, pearls, a touch of glitter and some doodling (which I find I do much more of thanks to the lovely Shelly!) finished my card off, plus a sentiment that I thought was apt for the image.

Right, off to see if there's anything I can do outside, rather than getting on with the housework that I should be doing! Have a totally terrific Tuesday, whatever you're up to and I hope the sun is shining on you today...
Happy crafting!
