Good morning, crafty friends! We're almost at the end of August...how did that happen?!...and who stole Summer?! There has been a definite shift to a more Autumnal feel here in North Wales, but hubby predicted at the beginning of the season that Summer would be two weeks in September, so I'm still hopeful!
Another Tuesday appears, which means it's time for our brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers. The lovely Marlene is in the hostess chair with a simple theme of 'Hip to be Square', so we don't mind the project, as long as it's square and you've used your markers (alcohol or water based) to colour an image...
We're being sponsored by Rachel Anne Miller Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a £10 voucher to spend in her online store...how cool is that?
We were lucky enough to get an image from Rachel's current new release called 'Candy Shop' to play with and I used the fun gumball machine image...
I must admit that I wasn't overly keen on this finished card, but knew I wanted to create a shaker element for the glass bowl of the gumball machine and used punched waste, coloured with my markers and diamond art gems for the shaker bits.
Colour List -
I am trying to make use of the many paper scraps that I have accumulated and thought that this paper was perfect for the gumballs (almost a typo there - not good when your gumballs start with 'B'!?!) I also have a box (or two) with left over die cuts from workshops and other projects, hence the fishtail flags...I still can't seem to shake my lack of motivation to craft, well to do anything really and it's only my DT work that forces me to go up into my craft room, so if anyone finds a touch of Mojo somewhere, can they send some my way, please?!...
I do 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,
