Passion for Markers - Dies and/or Punches...

Good morning, crafty buddies! Our new challenge has started over at Passion for Markers with the lovely Lorraine choosing a super easy theme of 'Dies and/or Punches'....we don't mind what type of project you make, as long as it includes some die cutting or punched elements and uses your markers!...

We're being sponsored by Dies to Die For who are offering one lucky winner a £15 voucher to spend in their online store...can I join in?!...

For my card, I picked out a retired Time for Tea Designs image called Beats Bella...

I coloured Bella up with my Pro/Flexmarkers and kept the card design quite simple, inking the top right corner with Broken China Distress Oxide and adding a die cut 'happy' word cloud. I added a couple of small clouds to make it look like a thought bubble and then stamped the word Birthday underneath.

I picked out some scraps that coordinated with my image (I still never remember to do it the other way round?!) and added a couple of strips along the bottom to ground the image, then finished with some peel off notes to suggest that Bella is listening to her favourite tunes!...

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