Passion for Markers - Let it Bloom...

 Good morning, dear Blogger buddies! I hope that you all enjoyed the spell of warm weather that we got, here in the UK, but it seems to be back to normal service now with sunshine and showers...

It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and the lovely Marie has chosen a super simple theme of 'Let it Bloom', so we would like to see flowers on your creations - this could be floral images, papers or embellishments...

 We are being sponsored by Hetty Clare who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digital images from their online store...and there are some beauties! Just remember that to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you must use your markers, alcohol or water based on your creation...

 We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the ever so pretty 'Flower Bouquet Girl'...

I coloured her up with my Pro/Flexmarkers and fussy cut her out leaving a white border...

Skin - Blush, Sunkissed Pink, Coral

Hair - Sandstone, Cappuccino, Umber

Bow & Tights - Halloween, Bright Orange, Sunset

Trousers - Denim Blue, Cornflower, Cadet Blue

Flowers - Soft Peach, Rose Peach, Coral, Lemon, Yellow, Gold, Baby Pink, Cocktail Pink, Watermelon, Apple

I kept my card pretty clean and simple, as I very much feel that less is more these days and just picked out some paper from my scrap drawers in contrasting blue and orange colour tones. I do love a sprinkle at the moment, so added some gems and pearls at random and a touch of glitter to the bouquet...

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

Crafty hugs,

Passion for Markers - Feminine...

*If I had half a brain, I'd be dangerous! I wrote this post in preparation for this week's challenge and then promptly forgot to publish it! But anyway, here it is - better late than never?!* 

Good morning, dear crafty friends! Another Tuesday whizzes into view and it's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers with the lovely Lorraine choosing a super simple theme of 'Feminine'...so ditch the masculine makes and let's create for the lovely ladies and girls in our lives....

 We're being sponsored by The Paper Shelter who are offering one lucky winner 3 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and as Lorraine is hostess, she picked out the ever so pretty 'Hammock Days' which I coloured up in my favourite pink and aqua colour combo...

 

I coloured the pretty image with my Pro/Flexmarkers -

Skin - Sunkissed Pink, Rose Peach, Coral

Hair - Cinnamon, Cocoa, Auburn, Umber

Blanket and hairband - Cerise, Shocking Pink, Vermillion

Top - Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue

Hammock - Pastel Beige, Soft Khaki, Khaki

I fussy cut the image leaving a white border and 'hung' her over a piece of frosted acetate. I added a sun, clouds and simple sentiment and kept everything very clean and simple...

I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week and look forward to visiting your blogs to see what you create...
