Passion for Markers - Anything but Square...

 Hello there, crafty friends! It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week it's my turn to host, so I've chosen a simple theme of 'Anything but Square'...you can make anything you like, just as long as it's not square...oh, and don't forget to use your markers (alcohol or water based)..

We're being sponsored by Lili of the Valley who are kindly offering one lucky winner a choice of 4 digital images from their online store...

 We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the pretty 'Balloon and Gift'...

 I coloured the image with my Pro/Flexmarkers and paper pieced the balloon with some polka dot paper before fussy cutting, leaving a white border. I used papers from some scrapbook pads that I picked up in The Works and an embossed flag panel to make the base layers, then added my image, die cut clouds and sentiment from Crafter's Companion. I finished with some pale green gems and a touch of glitter on the flowers...

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

Crafty hugs,
