Passion for Markers - Things with Wings...

 Good morning, crafty buddies! Another Tuesday rolls around, which means it's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers! This week it's the lovely Marlene in the hostess chair and she's picked the fun theme ' Things with Wings'...so whether it's birds or butterflies, dragons, fairies or even aeroplanes, we'd like to see them! Just remember that to be in with a chance of winning this week's prize, you MUST use your marker pens (alcohol or water based) and follow the challenge theme...

Our sponsor this week is the wonderful Uniko Stamps who are offering one random winner a choice of stamp set from their store (has to be in stock)...

 For this week's card I used a stamp set that I picked up in the post Christmas sales 5 for £25 over at CraftStash...

 

This one is called The Seagulls by Daisy Mae Designs and I thought it would be good for making those awkward male cards...

Blender, Cool Grey 2, Pebble Blue , Canary, Sunflower, Gold, Sunset, Red, Poppy, Burgundy, Sapphire, Egyptian Blue, Midnight Blue, Cinnamon, Saddle Brown, Auburn, Umber, Sandstone, Cappuccino, Tan, Soft Peach

I used the background paper from the Lighthouse design set of Words at Play and a scrap of navy blue anchor paper from Seas the Day 12x12 scrapbook pad. I kept the image the main focal point of the card, creating the scene with the stamps and colouring with my Pro/Flexmarkers. I used the Daisy Mae Distressed Rectangle die as a mat for the image and added some twine and a couple of my favourite die cut clouds. The sentiment was a freebie with the Little Birds set that came free with SC&P and I finished with a few red star gems to pick up the accent colour of the life ring...

I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week and look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing your fabulous creations!

Hugs,

Passion for Markers - Add a Sentiment...

 Good morning, Blogger buddies! It's Tuesday again, which can only mean one thing...yep, that's right! A brand new challenge starts today over at Passion for Markers!...The lovely Marie is in the hostess chair this week with a super easy theme of 'Add a Sentiment'...it doesn't get much easier than that?!...

This week we're being sponsored by Crafty Sentiments who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from their online store...

I decided to use an image that I had in my stash and try to be organised making hubby's Valentine's card (but Ssssh! don't tell?!)...

I coloured up Benson Bear With Love using my Pro/Flexmarkers and fussy cut leaving a white border :

Vanilla, Champagne, Sandstone, Cappuccino, Blush, Sunkissed Pink, Coral

Cerise, Shocking Pink, Vermillion, Cardinal Red, Crimson, Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue

Prismacolor pencils for shading and fur texture

I started with a dusky pink 5x7 inch card base and added a muted pink stripe panel. I cut Daisy Mae Design's Distressed Rectangle die and inked the edges with Salty Ocean DO, then attached a (First Edition Love Letters) pink square, followed by a white heart die cut stamped with Avery Elle's With Love from the Everyday Circle Sentiments stamp set.

I added a strip of black and white dotty paper and a chevron in aqua tones (all from my scrap drawers) and then mounted the image using foam pads. I finished off with a couple of red gem hearts...

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

Hugs,
