Passion for Markers - Embellish it!...

 Good morning, dear crafty friends! We have a brand new challenge starting today over at Passion for Markers with the lovely Marlene picking a super easy theme of 'Embellish it!'...whether it be flowers, gems, ribbons or buttons, we would like you to add embellishments to your card...

We are being sponsored by the wonderful Conie Fong Art who is offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from her online store (and there are lots of lovely ones to chosse from!)...

We were lucky enough to be able to choose an image to play with and I picked out the super cute 'Sending Hugs Koala'...isn't he adorable?!...


I decided to make an easel card (having not made one for ages!) I coloured up the sweet Koala bear with my alcohol markers and here's the colour list I used :

Bear - Cool Grey 2, 4 & 5, (SN) Brown Grey 5, Champagne, Putty, Tan
Inside ears - Baby Pink, Cocktail Pink
Tree trunk - (SN) Mocha, Umber, Coffee Bean
Leaves and flowers - Lime Green, Grass, Forest Green, Lemon, Gold

I mat the image onto green paper and added some washi tape, jute ribbon, gems and die cut clouds, plus a touch of glitter on the flower heads...

I used an orange gingham for the bottom half of the card, again mat onto green and used the woodgrain washi tape to cover the join. I added a sentiment from Altenew Beautiful Day and decorated with some die cut leaves that I coloured in the same as the image, before adding veins with a fineline pen and running the chisel end of a black marker along the edges. I also added some tiny die cut flowers with gem centres...

I hope you can join us this week over at Passion for Markers and look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations...

Crafty hugs,
