Hello there, dear crafty buddies and a Happy New Year to you! I hope you all had a wonderful festive period and are looking forward to 2023...
To kick things off, we have a brand new challenge starting today over at Passion for Markers - the lovely Julie is in the hostess chair and she's picked a topical theme of 'New'...so this could be new crafty stash, new images, or a 'New' theme, for example, new year, new home, new baby...
We're being sponsored by The Paper Shelter who are offering one lucky winner 3 digital images of their choice from the online store...just don't forget, to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you MUST use markers (alcohol or any other medium) somewhere on your creations (it also really helps if you let us know where)...
We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and Julie picked out the sweet 'Cabaret Lolly'...
I decided to go with a New Year theme, to use my new image and coloured Lolly up as a showgirl, using my Pro/Flexmarkers -
I stamped the background with a streamer stamp which came free with SC&P magazine last new year, embossing with gold and then inking with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide. I stamped a sentiment from the same set and added some die cut starburst shapes and a touch of gold glitter to her tights...I grounded the image by adding some red glitter patterned paper and a strip of gold foil patterned paper to the bottom of the card and mat everything onto a deep burgundy colour, before adding to a 6x6 scalloped card base...
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!...Once again (as always seems to be at this time of year), I have completely lost my Mojo...so if anyone finds some just lying around in the left over wrapping paper and Christmas chocolates, can you please send it in my direction? ...
Crafty hugs,
