Passion for Markers - Dies and/or Punches...

 Good evening, crafty friends! I am a little late to the party with this week's challenge over at Passion for Markers - life is pretty hectic at the moment and I am trying to get my house sorted after emptying Mum's. It is definitely a case of cluttered house, cluttered mind and I have been busy building flat pack furniture and decorating to store the multitude of stuff that I brought home. I cannot even get into my craft room properly, so this card was created mainly on a board on my knee?!...

The lovely Marie is in the hostess chair this week and she always gives us a nice, easy theme - this week being 'Use Dies and/or Punches'...

We are being sponsored by Dr Digis House of Stamps who are offering one lucky winner 2 digital images from their online store...


We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out Bob's Balloons...

I just used a portion of the image and created a CAS card with some paper piecing and doodling. I coloured Bob with my Pro/Flexmarkers -

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Rose Peach
Shirt - Pebble Blue, Blender
Jumper - Marine, Surf Blue, Blender
Hat - Wild Orchid, Purple, Red Violet
Balloon - Meadow Green, Apple, Forest Green

I added a strip of polka dot paper to the bottom third of the card and freehand drew some doodling around the white area before mounting Bob using foam pads for a bit of dimension, I also paper pieced his jumper with a striped paper. I die cut some balloons in a gold and blue glitter and drew the strings using a fine line pen. I used my favourite Yana Smakula Birthday sentiments die and stamped 'wishes' underneath, then finished with some sprinkles of gems and pearls...

I hope that you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week (and as for me, better late than never?!)...

Crafty hugs,
