Passion for Markers - Embellish it!...

 Good morning, crafty friends! It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers with the lovely Marie in the hostess chair, giving us a super easy theme of 'Embellish it'...so whether it's ribbons, gems, glitter, buttons and more, we would like you to add them to your creations....

We're being sponsored y All Dressed Up Stamps 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 'Perfect Walk' as I thought it was quite topical for the time of year with the weather here in the UK unsure if it's Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter?!...

I coloured the sweet image with my Pro/Flexmarkers -

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink

Hair - Pastel Yellow, Champagne, Cappuccino

Dress - Duck Egg, Surf Blue, Marine Blue, Red, Poppy, Burgundy

Umbrella - Pale Pink, Baby Pink, Antique Pink, Storm Cloud

I wanted to cover up the writing that is on the image, so cut out a fence die cut, adding some details with my markers and some small peel off waste dots, then printed off the new sentiment words using Photoshop. I also die cut some clouds (of course?!), added some diamante raindrops and a couple of small buttons to finish...

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 - Spots and/or Stripes...

 Good morning, crafty friends! It's time for another fun challenge this week over at Passion for Markers and I have the duty of hostess with a simple theme of 'Spots and/or Stripes', so as it suggests, we would like to see either or both of these patterns on your creations...

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

I decided to colour up a cute stamp that I picked up from a destash site called 'Yeti to Party' by Darcie's Heart & Home and go with my favourite CAS style...

 

I coloured the cute yeti with my Pro/Flexmarkers and he was super easy to colour - 

Cool Grey, 2, 3 & 4, plus grey pencil for added texture

Putty, Tan

Primrose, Vanilla

Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide for the cheeks

I picked out some paper scraps from my overflowing drawers, inking the edges with black ink and used them to create a simple background design, then mounted the yeti on a circle over the top. I stamped one of the sentiments and cut out some small snowflakes to add along with a few pearls. I often wonder whether there is enough to this type of card but stopped myself from trying to add more!

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