Passion for Markers - Gems and/or Pearls...

Good morning, crafty friends! Another Tuesday arrives and with it a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers!...

This week it's the lovely Marlene in the hostess chair with a super simple theme of 'Gems and/or Pearls'...you can use either or both on your creations and we all love a bit of bling, surely?!...

We're being sponsored by Stamper's Delights who are kindly offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from their online store...

Just remember that to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you must have a marker coloured element on your creation and it really helps if you could let us know where you've used them, for example, coloured with alcohol pens...and follow the challenge theme, which this week couldn't be simpler!

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the modern 'Art Tools 5'...

With my love of CAS cards not waning, I thought this image would be perfect for a simple creation and resized the digistamp in Photoshop to fill most of the card base. I printed a couple of layers so that I could decoupage some elements and positioned the wording so that the sentiment worked. I inked the card base with Cracked Pistachio and Salty Ocean Distress Oxides and paper pieced the pocket with a denim colour polka dot.

To follow the theme, I added some gem sprinkles in various colours and some grey pearls to underline the word Art. This is definitely my favourite style of card making and I love the way this one turned out, plus the image was easy to colour too!

Bristles - Gold, Honeycomb, Spice

Metal shafts - Champagne, Sandstone, Cappuccino 

Handles - Red, Poppy, Burgundy, Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue, Pastel Green, Soft Green,
