Passion For Promarkers Challenge # 386 - Add lace, Ribbon, Twine

Hi Crafters,

Thank you for visiting today, my blog has been rather neglected and posts have been sparse of late but today I am here to share my DT card for Passion For Promarkers.

This week our challenge is to...

ADD LACE, RIBBON, TWINE.

I've managed to use lace and ribbon in my design but you can use just one if you like.

Please remember to use your Winsor Newton (Letraset) Markers to qualify for the prize and tell us where you have used them in your project.

I've coloured an image that I had in my collection from our sponsor, Di's Digi Stamps, with my markers and added a little glitter to the icing on the cake - this is pink in real life but the light from the camera is turning it lilac.

Passion for Promarkers Challenge #347 Ribbon and or Lace

Hi Crafters,

I would just like to say a big thank you to all visitors of my blog over the last fortnight and for the lovely comments regarding my mums recovery from her op. She is now able to get about and look after herself so my services are no longer required and I am back home now. I just need to get my own house back in order.

I was able to get a little colouring done while I was away and this is a card I created for a friends birthday. I used some measuring tape ribbon for this challenge and my Promarkers of course.

Well that's all from me today. I apologise for being AWOL at the moment on the commenting front, I've been seeing your lovely makes in my feed but I have not had time to pop in on you - things have not settled down as I thought and then I spent 6 hours in A & E on Tues/Weds with one of my daughters, although she is fine now thank goodness, so I have some catching up to do.

Thank you all for your comments here though and I will visit you soon.

More Tags !

Last batch....I promise.

This is going to be short and sweet tonight...
Four Christmas tags in green.

These are self explanatory I think, I've just heat embossed the design in black embossing powder and inked with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Mowed lawn. Added a few trims and voila!

These are also in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for tagging along....pardon the pun, lol

Happy crafting

Santa Christmas Tags

Hi folks,
Hope you all had a great weekend.
Yesterday I posted my first Christmas tags creations of this year and I've been busy this morning making some different ones.....

 

 

I bought this lovely Santa stamp from Creative Expressions and I couldn't wait to use it and I think it turned out ok. The construction of the tags is the same as before but this time I added punched holly leaves and tinkling bells to the ribbon bow. I'm really pleased how these look. There is a space on the back for writing your message and a red twine loop for attaching to your gift. These will also be in my Etsy shop.
Here is a close up view...

My creative juices are flowing now I can think of lots more ideas, it's just having the time to fit it in, lol.
Well I hope you enjoyed my little blog post for today, I would love to have a few more followers stopping by but I have only been blogging a month so it's early days.
Happy crafting everyone.

Christmas Tags

Hi,
Is everyone enjoying the last little bit of summer before autumn sets in? I'm trying to but I thought I'd better get started on making some Christmas items as it's only 115 DAYS ! Yikes, I need to get a move on. I have made a few cards already but I also like to make tags for some of my presents too. This is what I came up with today...

These four are going in my Etsy shop, the rest are reserved for family presents.
I began with Blue and White cardstock and stamped the filigree pattern in Broken China distress ink randomly around the edges, then I went back and stamped the same stamp in Versamark ink and embossed it with Cosmic Shimmer 'Aurora Crystal Sparkle' embossing powder. Here is a close up...

It doesn't show up on this picture very well (note to self... Ask Santa for a decent camera this year...) but it gives the edges a lovely twinkling festive sparkle. Lets try this picture.....

 Then I added some Martha Stewart punched snowflakes, gemstones, organza ribbon bows, and a beautiful silver snowflake charm. There is plenty of room to write my Christmas messages on them too. Tomorrow I'm hoping to create some Santa themed ones so look out for that post.
Hope you are all getting your Christmas items made too....don't forget, only 115 days!
See you all soon

Lorraine
