Passion For Markers Challenge #785 - Pastel Colours

 Hi Crafters,

I hope you had a lovely Easter Weekend.

This week it is my turn to choose the theme for the new challenge at Passion For Markers.

I would love to visit your blogs and see your projects using PASTEL COLOURS and your Markers of course.

I have used this sweet image from Lili of the Valley, our sponsors this week.

Coloured with Copics and Promarkers I have made a new baby girl card. Papers are scraps from my stash, the tag die is from a set by Mama Elephant called 'Tags a Lot' and the sentiment is from Tonic Studio. A snippet of ribbon and some glittery dots add the finishing touches to the design.

I hope you can join in the fun with us this week, LOTV are offering 4 digi images to the lucky winner.

Please take a look at the other Design Team makes over on the challenge blog here for more inspiration.

Take care and I'll see you again soon,

Lorraine

Passion For Markers Challenge #783 - 3 - 2 - 1 - GO!

 Hi Crafters,

What wonderful weather we have had of late, it is so nice to see the sunshine.

I am here today to share my latest Passion For Markers Design Team project.

Our theme this time is

3 - 2 - 1 - Go


I love the images from Bugaboo Stamps (sadly no longer trading) but I have so many of them that I cannot resist using them from time to time. This one is called BUGKITTYBLOCKS which I have coloured using my Copic Markers and I've paired it with a Creative Expressions stamp called Kitten Treats for the background. My sentiment is from a Hobby Art stamp set (CS017D). My emnamel dots create the little finishing touches.

To follow the theme you must tell us in your post what your 3 - 2 - 1 - things are, for example mine are:

3 - Cats, 2 - Sizes of Enamel Dots, 1 - Sentiment

I hope you can join in with us this week, we have a fabulous sponsor


who are offering a £15.00 voucher to the lucky winner!

The Design Team are all looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations and will check in to your blogs soon.

Have a great day!

Lorraine

Passion For Markers Challenge #779 - Dies and or Punches

 Hi Crafters,

We have a new challenge starting at Passion For Markers today where we would love to see your creations using your Markers and

DIES +/ PUNCHES

I have created an Easter Centre Stepper Card using a Presscut Die for my card base. This die set had scalloped layers which I have cut out in glitter card. I then used Marianne Designs Egg Die (COL1425) also cut in glitter card and a Marianne Designs Rabbit Hill die (LR0588). The sentiment is a Creative Expressions Shadow Word Die. The fun image is from our sponsor this week - Dr Digi's House of Stamps, called Cuddly Critters Rabbit, which I have coloured with Copic Markers.

Dr Digi are offering 2 digital images to the lucky winner this week.

Please head over to the challenge blog here and take a look at the rest of the Design Teams creations, then get out your Markers and have fun joining in with us.
