Passion for Markers - Traditional Christmas colours...

 Good evening, crafty buddies! I'm a little late posting today, but am here to let you know about this week's new challenge over at Passion for Markers...

The lovely Sue is in the hostess chair this week and has picked a topical theme of 'Traditional Christmas colours'...As the title suggests Sue doesn’t mind what you create or what theme you follow (so it doesn't have to be a Christmas card, as you can see?!) as long as you use traditional Christmas colours i.e. red, green, gold etc along with any neutrals you want to use...

We are being sponsored by Colour of Love digis who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digital images from their online store... 

As you will see, I avoided the theme of 'that event that happens in December'...Christmas starts early enough for me, so I'm being the rebel of the Design Team?!...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out Aiyanna Indian Maiden...

I coloured her up with my Pro/Flexmarkers and used my Prismacolor pencils for some added detail in a traditional red, gold and green colour combination...I know....you're singing it in your head now, aren't you?! ha, ha!

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

Passion for Markers - Make it Digital...

 Good morning, crafty friends! We're into November and speeding towards the end of the year at an alarming rate! I am struggling to find time to fit everything into a day at the moment and my to do list seems to get longer by the hour!...

I did find some crafty time yesterday morning though...well, it was more a case of needing to and so I'm popping in to tell you all about the brand new challenge that's starting today over at Passion for Markers! The lovely Marlene is in the hostess chair with a simple challenge theme of 'Make it Digital'...so whether it's a digital image, papers or sentiment, we want to see them on your creations...

(REMEMBER, IT REALLY HELPS IF YOU CAN LET US KNOW WHERE YOU'VE USED YOUR MARKERS AND DIGITAL ELEMENT)

We're being sponsored by LeAnn's World 101 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 Adriana...

I kept my card relatively clean and simple, with an inked background, die cut leaves, simple sentiment and Glossy Accents for bubbles.

I coloured Adriana with my Pro/Flexmarkers and then added texture with my Prismacolor pencils...

Skin - Putty, Tan, Cinnamon
