Passion for Markers - Favourite Tool, Product or Embellishment...

 Hello there, crafty friends! My these days are whizzing by and we are sliding our way into Autumn with speed! The days are getting shorter and we'll soon be digging out the cardigans and 'big' coats...

But before we do, it's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and the lovely Julie has given us a clever theme to use our 'Favourite Tool, Product or Embellishment'...

We're being sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the fun 'Morag the Moo'...

I may be a little controversial in my choice of favourite tool and my Big Shot machine would have to come in a close second, but for me, I love my little orange scissors! I am a real fan of paper piecing and decoupaging images and the way I can make a card really simple but still add interest and dimension in some 3D or paper pieced elements. They are one of those items that if I only had my scissors, some paper and glue, I would be able to while away many a happy hour! I also have developed a love for white borders around my images and sentiments and can't afford to buy every matching die set, so my trusty scissors do the job just fine!

I coloured Morag with my Pro/Flexmarkers and sadly, forgot to write the colour list down :( but hope you like her just the same?! I decoupaged her up with 3 layers and added what's supposed to be an icicle die, but works great as grass! Of course, I had to add in some die cut clouds, a touch of doodling and a great card pun for good measure!

I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week and look forward to visiting your blogs and finding out what your favourite tools/products are...
