Passion for Markers - Colours of Autumn...

 Hello there, crafty friends, from a wet and windy North Wales! We have a new challenge starting over at Passion for Markers this week, with the lovely Julie choosing a topical theme of 'Colours of Autumn'... 

We're being sponsored by the wonderful Rachel Ann Miller Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get to choose an image from Rachel's new Halloween release and I picked out the super cute 'Ghost Greetings'...

I thought that the image would be perfect for a shaker card, so went with it and cut out the banner for the shaker element. This image was so quick and easy to colour, just using Pebble Blue Promarker and a blender pen for the ghosts, which were decoupaged on top. I used a random orange and green pen that was on my desk to colour the sentiment and added a touch of blush to the ghosts using Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide on a cotton bud...

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

Crafty hugs,
