Passion for Promarkers - For a child/child images...

Good morning, dear crafty friends! It's Tuesday, which means the start of a brand new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers...
The lovely Julie is in the hostess chair and she's given us a simple theme of 'For a child or children images'...so get creating for those little people or just use an image that includes a child...
We're kindly being sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps, who are offering one lucky winner the choice of 2 digital images from their online store...

Just don't forget, 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 get an image to play with and I picked the ever so sweet Stars and Back...


I decided that I wanted to use the image without the writing, so covered the world that the little girl is standing on and coloured her shoes black. I paper pieced her hoodie with the red zig zag paper and coordinated everything else to match...
I'm trying to use different colour schemes, instead of my usual pastel colour tones, so for me this is quite bright! I think I need to get some new paper pads for inspiration and seeing as it's my birthday too...well, any excuse suits me!

I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge and look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations!

Passion for Promarkers - Animals...

Good morning, dear crafty friends! Hope you had a wonderful festive season and that the New Year brings you all health and happiness!

It's the first challenge of 2020 for Team 1 at Passion for Promarkers and the lovely Sue has picked a super easy theme to ease us back in to things, as she'd like to see all of those Animals...cute and cuddly, furry or feathered, whatever it may be!

We are being sponsored by Cowling and Wilcox and have a set of 6 midtone Promarkers to send to one lucky winner...

I decided to tie this challenge in with a card needed for my friend's daughter's birthday and picked out this ever so cute kitty image which is a freebie from Angelique's blog HERE. I coloured the cute cat image with my Pro/Flexmarkers and teamed it with a mix of sunny papers from my stash - it was nice to work with some more sunny colour tones as the weather is just so grey at the moment!

I kept the layout quite simple and personalised the card with a name and age for the recipient.

I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your animal creations!
