Passion For Markers Challenge # 796 - Add A Ribbon

 Hi Crafters,

Well it's my turn to host the challenge this week at Passion For Markers and so I'd love to see all your gorgeous makes using your Markers and

ADD A RIBBON

I have used this sweet image from LOTV called 'Robin Cracker' which I have coloured using my Copics in festive red and green with a touch of glitter glass on the furry hat trims. I thought I had better make a start on my Christmas cards as it's already July, I tell myself every year that I will be good and make some each  month starting in January but then things get in the way, so this is my first Christmas make for 2025!

I have used a wonderful Decorative Rectangle die set from Chloe's Creative Cards to cut out my frames in green glitter card and added some holly paper in the background. The sentiment ribbon has been in my stash for years and has other lovely Christmas sayings on it too so I'm pleased to be using a section of it for my challenge.

We are sponsored this time by

Dies To Die For

who are offering a £15 voucher to the lucky winner!

What a fab prize so get out your Markers and colour up those images for a chance to win.

I'm looking forward to seeing your creations and commenting on your blogs this week.

Have fun!

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

Dies To Die For

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!
