Passion For Promarkers Challenge #403 - Add Pearls

Hi Crafters,

Another Tuesday has come around again and so we have a new challenge starting at Passion for Promarkers.

Add Pearls

To qualify for the prize from Uniko Stamps who are offering a (in stock) stamp set of your choice, you must firstly follow the theme and use your Winsor Newton (formerly Letraset) markers.

I had a commission for a rather unusual Wedding card recently. The recipients love to spend time in their caravan and so this was the theme of their card. I managed to find this Woodware stamp set and thought the caravan and banner were perfect. I coloured them to match in with the gold and cream of the papers and lace and added a little touch of Wink Of Stella clear pen for a shimmery look. Hopefully the second picture shows this for you. 

(you might need to enlarge it)

Love Is In The Air

Hi Crafters,

I'm sorry my blog posts have been rather sporadic of late, I'm usually on top of things but since the beginning of this year I just can't seem to get in to my groove. There'll be times when I think 'right I'm on track now with orders and life in general' and then something throws a spanner in to the works and I have to scramble about frantically to catch up.

I have tons of photo's of cards in my folder that I haven't had chance to share yet so here is one for today.

Recipe

Glittered Papers - Artico Wedding Pad

Ribbon from Stash

Spellbinders Heart Die from the 'Lovin' Diamonds' Die Set

Sentiment - LOTV Stamp

Britannia 'Congratulations' Die

I believe this fits in with these challenges:

As You Like It - Favourite Way To Add Ribbon and Why

( I love to add ribbon in the form of bows on my projects and as you can see this is rather a large one, but as it's such a lovely ribbon I like to make a statement with it)

Moving Along With The Times - #49 Wedding, Anniversary or Engagement

Craft-Dee Bowz - #July Challenge

Thanks for joining me today, I'm off to have my breakfast now, lol, it's been an early start.
