Passion for Markers - Pretty Pastels...

 Well hello there, crafty friends! Gosh these weeks really are whizzing by and we're already over a quarter of the way through the year, but I hope you all managed to enjoy the Easter weekend and hopefully catch some sunshine wherever you are!...

It's that time again, to announce our brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers...this week I am playing hostess and am staying in my crafty comfort zone, wanting to see all those 'Pretty Pastels' - so ditch the dark, ban the brights and settle into a more muted palette. You can make any type of creation, or any theme (even that holiday that happens at the end of the year?!) but just remember to be in with a chance of winning this week's prize, you MUST use your marker pens (of any medium) somewhere on your project and keep your colour palette pastel!

We're being sponsored by Di's Digistamps who are offering one lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to their online store... 

I created my card for a friend's daughter who turned 21 this weekend and had to colour her hair to match...

 

This is an old KennyK image that I teamed up with a pretty aqua, apricot and lemon colour scheme, raiding my scrap drawers for papers. I used the birthday die from Yana Smakula Layered Script sentiments, which is fast becoming one of my all time favourite die sets and a large number die, coloured in an ombre effect using Soft Peach, Watermelon and Coral Promarkers. I glittered the numbers and added some die cut stars and gems but kept the card itself pretty CAS.

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

Crafty hugs,
