Passion for Promarkers - Sketch...

Good morning, everyone and a Happy New Year to you all!  I hope you all had a wonderful festive season, enjoying time with loved ones and that Santa was kind in his offerings!  We had some well deserved time off, just chilling, pottering around and enjoying each others company...but all that's over too quickly now and it's time to get down to business!  I am going to be uber busy trying to complete designs for my next disc and also have a few shows coming up - the first one being Ross Papercraft Show at Westfield Sports College in Sheffield on Sunday 25th January!
It's also the first Tuesday of the year which means that it's new challenge time over at Passion for Promarkers!  A huge thank you to those who joined in with our Mega Christmas Challenge and I hope you can find time to join in with our challenge this week, which is being hosted by the lovely Lou.  She's given us a fab sketch to follow...

...This week we are sponsored by the amazing Letraset who are offering one lucky winner a Promarker Manga 12 Pen Set!

Please remember to be eligible for our prize you must use your Letraset pens, ie, promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers...

 ...I changed the sketch up a little bit by turning it into an easel card...

...I used MilkCoffee's Charlotte with flower and bird image, but just used the top half, so that I could make it quite large...

Passion for Promarkers - Make it Digital

Good morning, my lovelies and a Happy Tuesday to you all!  Today sees the start of another fab challenge over at Passion for Promarkers and this week it's the lovely Marie in the chair and she would like us to 'Make it Digital' - so use a Digital image and/or papers.  This week we are sponsored by the talented Nikky from Polkadoodles and she is offering 5 lucky people the chance to win her Dollie Daydreams 'Glitz' digistamp.

For my card, I decided to use the fabulous Soccer Boy digistamp that I bought from MilknCoffee after discovering their digistore and also the brilliant sketch that is running over at Fussy and Fancy Friday this week...

...I didn't want the card to be specific team colours. but just a little boy playing football, so went with papers from Prima's Bohemian Bamboo paper pad in red, blue, grey and green.  The great sketch has lots of layers, but because of the different patterns on my papers, I decided not to mat my layers as I felt it would make the card too busy!...

...I inked all the paper edges with Walnut Stain DI and just matted the image to give it more of a focal point (well that was the intention anyway!?!)...

I coloured Soccer Boy using my Pro/Flexmarkers and here's the colour list I used :

Skin - Blush, Dusky, Sunkissed Pink, Coral (my usual combo)

Hair - Cappuccino, Caramel, Cocoa, Umber

Top - Red, Crimson, Burgundy

Shorts - Cool Grey 1, 3, 4 & 5, Pacific, Cadet Blue

Boots - Cool Greys, Lime Zest, Pear, Moss

Ball - Dolphin Blue, Glacier Blue, Cool Grey 1

Grass - Meadow, Leaf, Bright Green

...I finished my card with a printed insert using the black and white line image and the sentiment ' It's your Birthday!'.  I really like the layout of this card and will definitely be using this sketch again!  Hope you like my little creation and can join in with Marie's challenge this week!  Don't forget to hop on over to the Passion for Promarkers blog to see what my lovely teamies have been up to and I look forward to seeing your creations too!

Sherriff Bobby...

 Woo hoo!  This card came Top 3 at Stampin' for the Weekend

and also Top 3 at I Love Promarkers!

Good morning, my lovelies!  Looks like it's going to be another washout for the next few days, but at least it's nearly the weekend!
For today's post. I thought I'd share another card made using one of the fabulous MilkCoffee digistamps that I purchased last week...

...So, this is Sherriff Bobby - don't you just love him?!  Having 2 boys myself, I quite enjoy making male cards (?!), so just had to have this little cutie when I saw him!  The papers I used are all from my scrap drawers (which are getting rather full now and so I'm trying to use some of them up!) but  I know they're from Dovecraft's Masculine paper pack and the stripe is from a Beary Patch 12x12 paper...

...I coloured Bobby with my Pro/Flexmarkers and used a gold pen to highlight his badge and buckles.  I have used an old layout that I used way back in March, but tweaked it a little and left the circle blank so that I can put an age number on it if anyone wants!...

...I decorated the inside to compliment the front, using the black and white line image and some coordinating papers...Here's a close up...

...Well, that's it from me for another day!  Thanks for dropping by to see me and I hope you like my Sherriff Bobby card!

MilkCoffee Charlotte...

Good morning, my dear Blogging buddies and a Happy Tuesday to you all!  Before I start, I 'd just like to remind you all that there's a new challenge starting today over at Passion for Promarkers.  It's Team 2 in the chair this week and Nat has chosen the theme "Use Ribbon, lace or Twine", so a nice easy one to join in with!  Hop on over to the blog to see what the lovely Team have made for your inspiration and I hope you can join in with the challenge this week!

...So, anyway!  I'm here today to share a little card with you that I made using my digi choice from my recent Top 3 spot at MilkCoffee.  I have been entering their challenges for a while and have never realised that they had a digi shop...duh!!  So whilst picking my freebie (don't you just love a freebie?!), I had to have a couple of other images, which I'll be sharing on later cards!...

This is Charlotte with her bird and I decided to team her with one of my new Prima pads Sunny Days and go for a nice bright colour theme!...

 ...I coloured Charlotte with my Pro/Flemarkers and here's the colour list I used :

Skin - Blush, Sunkissed Pink, Coral

Hair - Sandstone, Caramel, Cocoa, Henna, Umber

Dress - Soft Peach, Rose Peach, Spice

Bird - Aquamarine, Cool Aqua, Surf Blue

Flowers - Meadow, Leaf, Bright Green, Buttercup, Mustard, Sunflower, Watermelon, Cerise, Vermillion

Socks - Dove Grey, Blender

Shoes - Col Grey 1, 3, 4, 5

...The daisy flowers were cut using another of my recent wins - Marianne's Button Flower die...I just love these flowers and wll be using them a lot, I'm sure!...

...I decorated the inside to match the front with the line image and another daisy flower to finish!

I love the bright colours of this one and am really pleased with how it turned out...just what we need on another grey, Winter's day!  Thanks for dropping by to see me and I hope to be back soon with another crafty creation!

Hugs,

Lisa x

Passion for Promarkers - Just a fairytale...

 This card came Top 3 at MilkCoffee challenge blog!

Good morning, dear Bloggers!  It's Tuesday again which sees the start of a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers - this week it's the lovely Lou in the chair and she would like us to create something with the theme 'Just a fairytale' (Think, princes, princesses, castles, dragons, etc)...
This week, we are sponsored ny the fabulous Letraset, who are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of Flexmarkers!

 Don’t forget you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.

...I decided to go big with my card and made an 8x8 square card base from 2 A4 pieces.  I used First Edition Dreamcatcher papers, which dictated the pink, purple (my colour of the moment) and yellow colour combo...

 

...The pretty Fairy Princess image is from MilkCoffee and was a joy to colour!  Here's the colour list for all you Letraset fans :

Skin - Satin, Dusky, Sunkissed Pink

Hair - Sandstone, Caramel, Cocoa, Henna, Umber

Dress and Hat - Lavender, Amethyst, Purple, Imperial Purple, Muted Pink, Tea Rose, Watermelon, Antique Pink, Ivory, Vanilla, Sunflower

Roses - Antique Pink, Ruby, Burgundy

Wings - Soft Aqua

...I decorated the inside to match the front, printed with a sentiment and the black and white line image.  I made the bunting myself, using the waste dots from my eyelet circle as faux brads and added some silver stars cut using Memory Box Precious Stars die.  Well, there we have it - I hope you like my not so little creation and that you can join in with our fun challenge this week!  Hop over to the Passion for Promarkers blog to see what my wonderful teamies have been up to and I look forward to seeing your fab entries too!
