Passion For Promarkers Challenge #440 - Buttons and or Bows

Hi Crafters,

Tuesday means the start of a new challenge at Passion For Promarkers.

So here I am with my DT inspiration for you.

Our theme this week is...

BUTTONS and or BOWS

I've decided to make four little notelets using a set of images from our sponsor Digi Stamp Boutique.

I found this teeny, tiny bow die in my stash and just had to use it with these cute images.

Tiny Bow - All Occasions Die

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Crafty Creations - #364 - ATG

As You Like It - Favourite Colouring Medium + Why

( I love using my Promarkers, they are the first alcohol markers I tried when I began crafting and colouring my own images. I find them very easy to blend and use. I have collected quite a lot of colours over the years and so I don't feel the need to change to another brand)

Happy Birthday to a Wonderful Friend !

I'd like to share with you a birthday card that I made for a good friend of mine. She loves her holidays and so when I saw this card on a blog the other day I just had to purchase the image from Mo's Digital Pencil and create my card. I used the original card layout for inspiration and changed a few things to make it appropriate for my friend.



The two digi's can be found here and here.
I coloured both the background and sunbather with Promarkers, cut her out and stuck her on to the background and put shading around the edge of the towel to ground the image. I used polka dot papers and buttons to carry on the theme of her bikini. In my stash I had a starfish charm and a small pair of silver coloured sunglasses which went beautifully with the beach theme also. Here is a close up of her enjoying her cocktail...

 





I'd like to enter this card in to these challenges:
Mo's Digital Pencil - 'H is for'........ Hot
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

I love Mo's images, I have quite a few now, they are so easy to colour and uncanny in that they resemble someone you know, lol.

Thanks for joining me today,

See you all soon,

Lorraine
