Hey there, crafty friends! Another Tuesday rolls around and it's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers. The lovely Marlene is in the hostess chair with a seasonal theme of 'Colours of Spring'....
We're being sponsored by Polkadoodles who are offering one lucky winner 3 digital images from their online store...
I picked out an image that I had used previously called 'Scruff Gardening'....I love this little pooch watering the flowers...
Living in Wales, the epitome of Spring has to be the swaths of green and yellow daffodils that adorn the hedgerows, towns and villages - so this is where I took inspiration. I coloured Scruff with my alcohol markers -
I picked out some papers from my stash and played around until I was happy with the layout, then added a couple of die cut clouds...firstly, because I don't need much encouragement to use clouds in my crafting and secondly, because I thought that they went with the outdoor theme of the image (see, there is method in the madness at times!?!) I decoupaged Scruff with two extra layers and gave him some rosy cheeks using Distress Ink on a cotton bud (the easiest way to create blush, I think). I stamped the birthday sentiment using my stamp platform and added the die cut sentiment using foam pads before finishing with some sequins and pearls...
I hope you can find the time to play along with our seasonal challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your Spring inspired makes...
Crafty hugs,
Beautiful birthday card-love cute Scruff with his rosy cheeks and your p.papers and clouds.
