Things With Wings at Passion For Markers

 Hi Crafters,

My apologies, it's been a while since I was here and also to visit your blogs but hubby has been in hospital again so things have been a little strange here, thankfully he is home now and feeling a little better. I'd like to thank you for all the lovely comments recently and I will come and visit you soon.

My appearance today is to showcase my DT card for our current challenge at Passion For Markers.

#679 - THINGS WITH WINGS

I have used this lovely, but sadly discontinued image, from Sugar Nellie. Their images are so lovely it is a shame not to use them just because they are no longer available. I'm sure many of you have lots of their stamps in your crafty stash.

Christmas Card Club Challenge #4 - Snow People

 Hi Crafters,

I'm popping in today to share my cards for the new challenge at the Christmas Card Club.



I think these little snowmen are so cute, they were a magazine freebie stamp set (Making Cards Magazine I believe) which I coloured with Promarkers. I made a few of these last Christmas and loved how cute they were so made some more for this challenge.
Take a peek at the other ladies Christmas creations by following the links in my sidebar.

Have a lovely Sunday!

With Love....

 Hi Crafters,

Happy Valentine's Day!

My card for today's new challenge at Passion For Markers was created using this lovely image from our sponsor Colour of Love, called Flower Petals.

Our theme this week is

ADD SOME FLOWERS 


Coloured with Promarkers and Copics I felt this image needed an oriental touch so added the lettering and then some flowers cut from paper that had been 'smooshed' with Distress Ink using a layering die.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Crafty Catz - #624 ATG/Add a Little Love
Pearly Sparkles - #81 ATG



Please take a look at the rest of the Design Team's creations here, they have been very busy making some lovely samples to inspire you. Our prize for this week is 3 digital images from Colour of Love
they have some gorgeous images on their website so you'll have a great time choosing your prize. Just use any of your Markers and follow the theme to be eligible.
Have fun!
