Passion For Markers Challenge - #827 - Lots of Layers

 Hi Crafters,

It's my turn this week to host the new challenge at Passion For Markers and I'd like to see your projects using

LOTS OF LAYERS

Please remember to use your Markers for our challenge and follow the theme to be eligible for the prize which, this week is a £15 voucher from our sponsor...

Dies To Die For

I have used a very old image from Bugaboo Stamps which I have coloured using Copic markers. I love the style of these images and have a large stash of them to colour. It is a shame that Bugaboo Stamps stopped trading a while ago although I am hopeful that they will return at some point.

The papers are from a Hunkydory Easter Wish paper pad, Carnation Crafts Shabby Rectangle & Oval dies and a Globleland Easter word die which I have also layered up on white card stock.

Our sponsor this week is

 Dies To Die For 

Please check out the other makes from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

Bye for now,

Lorraine

Kinetic Christmas Card

 Hi Crafters,

I thought I would share a special card that I made using a 'new to me' internal moving mechanism that I saw on Pinterest and You Tube. I like making kinetic cards and although this mechanism is quite simple it is very effective when you open the card.

This is the front...

Inside...

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you in 2026!
