Passion for ProMarkers & Sketch Saturday Challenges


I have combined this card with 2 challenges today, firstly Passion for ProMarkers Challenge 51 which is a theme of ''Strawberries & Cream'' and Sketch Saturday Challenge 103 which provided the fab sketch. I am really happy with how this one turned out but have struggled to get a good photo of it. Image and papers are from Magnolia. Lace from a local sewing shop and the felt strawberry is available here.

Sir Stampalot Monthly Challenge


This months Sir Stampalot Challenge is ''Butterflys & Blossoms'' I really liked the theme and had a good idea for it so I thought I would give it a go. Papers from DCWV Once Upon a Time stack, Ribbon is Papermania and image is from the Tracey Coates collection at The Stamp Man. Stamped with distress ink onto watercolour paper, I really like this effect.

Whiff of Joy & Stampin' for the Weekend Challenges


This weeks challenge at Stampin for the Weekend is to make a card for a male. Being my Nephews birthday in a few weeks I though perfect time to get my thinking cap on, I never know what to do for him and usually cop out and buy a card instead, cardinal sin I know! The Whiff of Joy part of the card is the sketch turned on it's side, in place of the girly flourish I put the Sinbad character and tried to keep it clean and simple, it was very hard!

Winter Wonderland & Friday Sketchers Challenges


Friday Sketchers is celebrating its 101st sketch with a fab sketch and a blog hop with loads of prizes along the way so make sure you go take a lookie!!

This card has been made with the sketch from Friday Sketchers and the theme from Winter Wonderland which is ''cute creatures''. I actually dont have that much in the way of christmas backing papers so I made this one myself from tumbled glass distress ink and a very large creative expressions stamp. The reindeer image is from whipper snapper and coloured with my trusty promarkers.

Friday Sketchers Challenge 100 & I Love ProMarkers Challenge 13


This weeks sketch for Friday Sketchers is their 100th sketch!! I really had fun making this for this challenge. I am also entering it into the I Love ProMarkers challenge 13 which is ''wings'' I really do love Magenta stamps, this set has to be one of my favorites but very hard to colour with pro markers. I really had a struggle with the flowers, they are from Prima and are some sort of gauze type material, they rip as soon as you look at them and all in all get a 0/10 rating from me, pretty crappy flowers, nightmare to try glue down too.

Paper: Once Upon a Time stack, DCWV

Flowers: Prima

Just Magnolia 53 & Passion for ProMarkers 50


This weeks challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers is ''Gratitude'' so I decided to make a thank you card, I wanted a nice flowery cute image for this theme so I choose a Magnolia image and combined this with the Just Magnolia challenge which is a fab sketch. Added a touch of Flower Soft on the image also.
