Passion for Markers - Embellish it!...

 Good morning, crafty buddies! I hope you're all having a good week and enjoying the milder weather we're having here in the UK? I'm glad of it today, especially, as we're having our double garage built...this has been a long time coming since it's order in the Summer and I am so looking forward to getting everything organised and having a good clear out of STUFF. I'm also looking forward to being able to get my garden back to some sort of prettiness in the Spring as with all the construction work it has turned into a bit of a quagmire and dumping ground!...

But for now, it's Tuesday, which means the start of a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers...the lovely Marie is in the hostess chair with a super simple challenge theme of 'Embellish it!'...so whether you add a few gems to your design or like me, chuck the embellishment box at it, we'd like to see all those wonderful additions - gems, pearls, bows, buttons, glitter, flowers, etc...

 We're being sponsored by Star Jam Lines who are offering one lucky winner 2 digital images of their choice (arranged with Olya as her Etsy store is currently closed)...

 We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and this one's called Gnome Christmas Decoration...

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink, Nutmeg

Beard - Cool Grey 2 and 3, Prismacolor pencils for texture

Passion for Markers - Anything Goes...

 Good morning, crafty buddies! Another brand new challenge started today over at Passion for Markers with the lovely Lorraine choosing a super simple theme of 'Anything Goes'... (it doesn't get any easier than that!...as long as you remember to use your markers (alcohol or watercolour) somewhere on your project)...

 We're being sponsored by Uniko Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a choice of stamp set from their online store (must be in stock)...

 

For my DT card I used a super cute image from Wee Stamps and created a card for a little girl's first birthday...

I coloured her up with my Pro/Flexmarkers :

Skin - Putty, Tan, Cinnamon

Hair - Pastel Yellow, Champagne, Sandstone

Babygro - Pastel Pink, Cocktail Pink, Watermelon

Cake and bears - Sandstone, Cappuccino

Flowers - Blue Pearl, China Blue

Shadows - Pebble Blue

 I used papers from my ever increasing scrap stash and added die cut clouds, hearts and the number 1. I dotted round a few gems and peel off stars and added a name and sentiment...

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