Passion For Markers Challenge #812 - HALLOWEEN

 Hi Crafters,

As it's almost the end of October our theme this week at Passion For Markers is...

HALLOWEEN


Our sponsor this week is
I have used this fun monster image called 'Monsterific' for my card which I have coloured with Copic Markers. The background paper is a digital file from Sizzix which I have had for ages and I used two dies from the 'Stitched Indented Squares' set by Elizabeth Craft Designs to make my window frame. A piece of die cut spiders web, also from Sizzix, completes my haunted window card.

I hope you can join in with us this week. On the challenge blog at Passion For Markers we have a fabulous prize of 2 digi images from All Dressed Up Stamps for the lucky winner.

See you soon,

Lorraine

Passion For markers Challenge #804 - Anything BUT Square

 Hi Crafters,

We have another great challenge starting at Passion For Markers today with a theme of

ANYTHING BUT SQUARE

So we would like to see your projects using a hand coloured image in different shapes other than square.

I have used an Arch die set to create my card blank and the layers together with this fun digital image from our sponsor Dr Digi's house of Stamps.


Recipe
Image - Cosmo-Nut - Dr Digi HOS
Coloured with Copic Markers
Pre-coloured image of the Moon is also from Dr Digi's HOS too.
Space Background from stash with glitter added and a printed sentiment.

I have attached my astronaut to the card with an acetate strip so that he floats in front of the moon image and looks as if he is floating in space. It's difficult to see from this angle so here's a side view.


I hope to see lots of you joining in with us this week, the Design Team have some great projects to share and inspire you on the challenge blog, take a look HERE. 

To be in with a chance to win the fabulous prize of 2 digi stamps from our sponsor you must follow the theme and use a hand-coloured image on your project.

See you soon,

Lorraine

Passion For Markers Challenge #802 - Spots and or Stripes

 Hi Crafters,

I'm back again this week for another new challenge at Passion For Markers.

This week we would like to see your coloured images and projects with the theme of

SPOTS AND OR STRIPES


I have made a shaker card ( I really do love making them) using this sweet melting snowman image from our sponsor this week - Polkadoodles

they are offering 3 digi images to the lucky winner.

I coloured him using Copic markers and was going to add some glitter but then I decided to make a shaker card so I added the teeny-tiny snowflakes inside the window instead. Both pieces of spotted and striped patterned papers were off-cuts from my scrap mountain! Does anyone else have one of these? Ha, ha.
The silver border and shaker frame were cut using my Tonic Scalloped Square and Circle dies, the glittery, foam snowflakes are from The Range and probably the ribbon too but I have had it for so long that I cannot remember where I purchased it.
I am determined to use up my craft room stash that has been hoarded, no collected :o) over the years plus this is my 2nd Christmas card made this year ( I am so far behind!).
Anyway, back to the challenge...why not pop over to the challenge blog HERE and take a look at the other Design Team makes to get you started and then come and join us for a fun challenge, who knows the winner could be you!

See you soon,

Lorraine
