Passion for Markers - Happy...

 Good afternoon, dear crafty friends! I am back as promised to let you know about this week's brand new challenge, which started today over at Passion for Markers...


The lovely Julie is in the hostess chair and she's given us an easy challenge theme of 'Happy', so we'd like you to use the word Happy somewhere on your project - happy birthday, happy anniversary or even just wishing a happy day!..

We are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from their online store! We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and as it's Julie's week, she picked out the super sweet Trekking Girl...


I really enjoyed colouring this fun image and here's the colour list of Pro/Flexmarkers that I used :

Skin - Blush, Putty, Tan
Hair - Cinnamon, Shale, Umber
Hat and Shorts - Denim, Cornflower, Cadet Blue
T-Shirt - Champagne, Honeycomb, Spice
Backpack and Boots - Khaki, Olive Green, Moss
Sleeping Bag - Pastel Green, Soft Green, Marine
Glasses - Honeycomb, Sunset, Cool Grey 5, Black
Grass - SN Willow, Bamboo, Camo Green
I added a little extra definition with Prismacolor pencils

I used a fab page from the Make & Create World Travels 12 x 12 paper pad from The Works, as it did most of the background work for me and then added some die cut clouds (of course!) in a small, blue, grid pattern paper. I used the sentiments from the Sail Away stamp set that came with Simply Cards & Papercraft and the Happy day was originally a Happy Birthday stamp that I only partially stamped. I drew and cut out the orange arrow shape before matting onto white card.

I was really pleased with how this card turned out and as I love walking, thought that it represented me a little...only a little since I've put half a stone on over the Winter lockdown - roll on Spring!

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

Ssssh! Don't tell anyone, but I have the house to myself for an hour - you don't know how lovely this is after the last year, so I'm off to get a cup of tea and read my latest issue of SC&P which has not long dropped through my letterbox!

Crafty hugs,

  2. This is a fabulous card design Lisa and your colouring of the image is gorgeous. You're not alone in being heavier after this lockdown, I have some serious working-out to do in the coming weeks! Hope you enjoyed your cup of tea :)
