Passion for Markers - Mega Christmas Mid challenge reminder...

 Hey there, crafty friends! I hope you're all nearly ready for the big day and keeping well? I'm struggling to get into the Christmas spirit this year and have promised myself that I will be organised next year (although I promise myself this every year and have yet to follow through, so maybe 2022 will be the one to watch?!) 

It's half way through our month long Mega Christmas challenge over at Passion for Markers and so I'm popping in to share my DT make...


I used my own hand drawn Snowdrop image and coloured using my Pro/Flexmarkers, teaming the simple white and green colour tones with a contrasting navy blue. I embossed the background with a random snowflake folder and added some die cut snowflakes to add to the wintry feel, before highlighting with Stickles coated in crystal glitter for a snowy effect...

We've had lots of wonderful entries already and there are some fabulous prizes up for grabs! To play along with our Mega Christmas Challenge of Anything Goes (which couldn't be simpler!), hop over to the original Passion for Markers blog post HERE, or to see my talented teamies creations for your inspiration, visit our midway challenge post HERE...

I hope you all have a very Happy Christmas and wish you all the very best for the coming year, may 2022 bring you all good health and happiness!

Take care,

Passion for Markers Mega Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes...

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

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

This week we are launching our very special “Mega Christmas challenge”  over at Passion for Markers, which runs for a whole month and ends on 4th January 2022!  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 theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “anything goes”.  We don't mind what you create for this challenge, as long as you colour with your markers!  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 markers (alcohol or water based) such as Promarkers, Copics, Spectrum Noir, Karin, Zig Clean Color etc

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!

Dies to Die For are offering 1 lucky winner a £20.00 gift voucher

Wow we are sure you’ll agree our sponsors have been super generous once again this year!

We have asked both design teams to share some inspiration with you but as it is 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 I'll be sharing my DT card with you then...

Hop over to the Passion for Markers blog to see the wonderful Team 2 creations and I hope you can play along with our MegaChristmas challenge

Hugs,
