Passion for Markers - For a Child...

 This week's challenge over at Passion for Markers has been set by the lovely Sarah who would like to see all of your creations made 'For a Child'...

We're being sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the super cute "Puddle Ducks"...

 I coloured the sweet image with my Pro/Flexmarkers -

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink

Hair - Pastel Yellow, Sandstone, Cappuccino

Coat & Ducks - Canary, Yellow, Gold & Honeycomb (for the beaks and feet)

Wellies - Red, Berry, Burgundy

Trousers - Denim, Cloud, Cadet Blue

Water - Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue

Shadows - Pebble Blue, Blender

I created an acetate front card with a cloud shaped border die and added the image which had been fussy cut with a white border. I added some die cut clouds and a computer generated sentiment, ensuring that I also attached a reverse on the inside to cover up the adhesive showing through. I finished with some crystal gems as water droplets and some red gems to tie in the colours...

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

Passion for Markers - Christmas

 Good morning, crafty buddies! Well, there's a definite shift to Autumn this week here in North Wales and the nights are drawing in pretty quickly too! I am not a Winter person and don't relish the thought of six months of shorter days and colder temperatures, but at least it means that I can light the fire and curl up indoors with a good cup of tea!...

It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week the lovely Sue has chosen that thing that happens in December...'Christmas', so we'd like to see all of your festive creations...it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw...

We're being sponsored by the fabulous Dies to Die For who are offering one lucky winner a £15 voucher to their online store...fabulous, right?!...

For my DT card, I picked an image from a site that I recently discovered called craftycicijoy.com...

 I printed the image multiple times so that I could decoupage it and coloured with my Pro/Flexmarkers, decorating with tiny gems and peel off waste. I used peel off borders to create the chains and a die cut Christmas sentiment and snowflakes...

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