Good morning, crafty friends! Another Tuesday rolls around, which means a brand new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers! It's my turn to host this week and I've picked a really easy challenge theme for you all...it is far too early for me to think of that event that happens at the end of the year, so I want to see 'Anything but Christmas'!...
Put away the snowmen and hide the holly, I would like to see all of your non-Christmas makes - whether it's Harvest or Happy Birthday, Easter or Anniversary, as long as it's not festive, I want you to play along...
This week we're being sponsored by Uniko who are offering one lucky winner a choice of stamp set from their online store (has to be in stock)...
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...so NO CHRISTMAS!
For my card I went with a really simple design, giving focus to the pretty poppy image which we get lots of here in Wales. I coloured them up to look like the Welsh mountain poppies that seed all over our grass verges and gardens and fussy cut them out, leaving a white border.
I inked the background with Broken China Distress Oxide, using a blending brush and stamped a pretty sentiment from Card Making Magic Layered Floral stamp set. I doodled a border and added the panel onto a rich, sunflower yellow cardstock. I have to admit to being rather influenced by Gina K's card style these days and love her simple design and use of bold colours and black mats...
I do hope that you can find the time to play along with my easy, peasy challenge this week and look forward to visiting you all and seeing all of your wonderful creations...
Crafty hugs,
