Passion for Markers - Pretty Pastels...

Good morning, dear crafty friends! It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week it's my turn to host....

I have decided to stay in my comfort zone and chosen a simple theme of 'Pretty Pastels', so banish the brights and ditch the darks, I want to see those pretty ice cream colour tones and more gentle colour palettes on your creations this week...

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

 For my DT card, I picked out an old Time 4 Tea Designs image which I got as a freebie when they were retiring a bunch of old images called 'Happy Cat Mom Day Bonnie'...

 I coloured her up with my Pro/Flexmarkers, but sadly don't have a colour list to share today as there were just so many colours I used with all the different cats!

I found some coordinating papers in my scrap drawers (I do try to use them as often as I can but 3 pieces doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of using them up!) and went with a simple layered layout on a dusky pink 5"x7" card base. I added a white strip to lift the image from the patterns and stamped a simple sentiment (thank goodness for stamp platforms!) I finished off with a few crystal star gems and added the butterflies from the image separately...

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