Passion For Markers Challenge #802 - Spots and or Stripes

 Hi Crafters,

I'm back again this week for another new challenge at Passion For Markers.

This week we would like to see your coloured images and projects with the theme of

SPOTS AND OR STRIPES

I have made a shaker card ( I really do love making them) using this sweet melting snowman image from our sponsor this week - Polkadoodles

they are offering 3 digi images to the lucky winner.

I coloured him using Copic markers and was going to add some glitter but then I decided to make a shaker card so I added the teeny-tiny snowflakes inside the window instead. Both pieces of spotted and striped patterned papers were off-cuts from my scrap mountain! Does anyone else have one of these? Ha, ha.

The silver border and shaker frame were cut using my Tonic Scalloped Square and Circle dies, the glittery, foam snowflakes are from The Range and probably the ribbon too but I have had it for so long that I cannot remember where I purchased it.

I am determined to use up my craft room stash that has been hoarded, no collected :o) over the years plus this is my 2nd Christmas card made this year ( I am so far behind!).

Anyway, back to the challenge...why not pop over to the challenge blog HERE and take a look at the other Design Team makes to get you started and then come and join us for a fun challenge, who knows the winner could be you!

See you soon,

Lorraine

Passion For Markers Challenge #710 - Spots and or Stripes

 Hi Crafters,

With Christmas creeping ever closer I decided to make a festive card this week for my DT project at Passion For Markers to boost my Christmas pile (which isn't very big I might add, I'm usually a lot further ahead than this). I have used this sweet image from LOTV and added lots of glitter and sparkle.

Spots and or Stripes at Allsorts #712

 Hi Crafters,

I'm staying with the SPOTTY theme from earlier in the week but this time it's the turn of our weekly challenge at Allsorts.

I have used a magazine freebie kit with image and matching background paper which I've had in my stash for quite some time. I thought it was perfect for this 40th birthday card. The bottle and cork are an Xcuts die which has been inked and shaded.

This month's prizes come from Oakwood, Stamp Addicts, Sizzix and AALL & Create, these links take you to their individual websites and you can read more about each on our Patrons' Page here.

Have a fun day!

Allsorts Challenge #695 - Spots & Stripes

 Hi Crafters,

We are back this week for a new challenge at Allsorts.

We'd like to see SPOTS & STRIPES on your projects and I have used these fun Kanban die cuts and pretty patterned background for my card. I added some kitchen themed die cuts of my own and used a Lisa Horton scalloped frame die. One of my favourite colour combos are blue and brown so I coordinated my gems and ribbon embellishments to match the image.

Challenges I'd like to enter:
