Passion for Promarkers - Mega Christmas Challenge...

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit (or two) and make yourself comfortable!

Good morning dear crafters!

This week at Passion for Promarkers,we are launching our very special “Mega Christmas challenge” which runs for a whole month and ends on 7th January 2020!  I’m sure you’ll agree that both design teams have worked extremely hard once again this year and they deserve a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards.  However to make up for the lack of challenges we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

Our very simple theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “anything goes”.  We would like to see absolutely anything for this challenge, no restrictions apart from the obvious one of course!  You are welcome to make Christmas creations but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation.  As time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!

Dies to Die For are offering 1 lucky winner a £15.00 gift voucher

Uniko Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner 1 stamp set (must be in stock)

Di's Digi Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner a $12.00 gift voucher

We have asked both design teams to share some inspiration with you but as it such a long challenge we will be posting the inspiration from Team 2 today and then in two week’s time we will be posting inspiration from Team 1. So here are the gorgeous cards from team 2 (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Passion for Promarkers - Christmas critters...

Good morning, crafty buddies! The festive season is definitely upon us and it's the age old conundrum of when to put the Christmas tree up? In our house, if I put it up too soon, I am itching to take it down on Boxing Day, so I think it will be at least this weekend before I contemplate getting it down from the loft! But as we're all getting in the Christmas mood, it's time for a topical challenge over at Passion for Promarkers!...

The lovely Shelly has set this week's challenge theme of 'Christmas critters'...so whether it's reindeer or penguins, kittens or mice, we'd like to see all of those festive critters...

We're being sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps who are kindly offering one lucky winner a £20 voucher to their store...can I play along, please?!...

Don't forget, to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize, you MUST use your Letraset/Winsor & Newton mediums and follow the challenge theme. It also really helps if you can tell us where you've used them, for example, coloured with Promarkers

For my card, I used the ever so sweet Penguin digistamp which is available in my Etsy store HERE...he comes in 3 designs...There's the little Penguin on his own, in his winter hat and scarf (like this one) and the other sees him donning his party hat and balloon, so a Penguin is for life, not just for Christmas! Ha, ha!

I kept my card quite simple (my preferred style these days) and used a panel that was intended for another project - waste not, want not and all that! A touch of glitter card adds to the wintry feel and I added mini pom poms to his hat and scarf. Finishing off, I stamped a simple sentiment and added a few waste stars that had come out of a die cut that were on my table...

Right, off to try and make my house look a little more presentable and do mushroom soup for lunch!
I hope you can play along with our fun challenge this week and wish you all good luck in the draw - definitely a prize worth winning, I'd say!

Crafty hugs,
