Nana's Closet - A Day for Dasies - PFP DT

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion For Promarkers where our theme is Pearls and Pins chosen by the lovely Marie.
What a day I had yesterday :(  I had forgotten that Team 1 was switching weeks after last weeks 5th Anniversary celebration, so of course no card made.  But no problem I had nothing planned and got my card made and posted........... then realised I was supposed to be using our sponsors image !!!!!  So had to start all over again..... never mind it means I now have a spare card to post at a later date.
So onto today's card which uses the gorgeous 'Nana's Closet' image from A Day for Daisies.


She is cut using SB Magestic labels 25 and framed with the outer layer.  I used a Desire embossing folder for the background as I wanted to keep the muted colours. The ribbon, pearls, pin and butterflies are from my stash.


She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Tria Markers with some Prisma pencil for added depth.


The inside does reflect the front.


We are sponsored this week by A Day For Dasies who are offering a $12 gift voucher to the winner


I hope you will pop over an see the fabulous cards the girls have made for your inspiration this week and also take the time to enter. Don't forget you have to use Letraset products (Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers, Aqua markers, Neon markers or Metalic Markers) to enter.

I am entering the following challenges

Thanks for taking the time to look

Fifi Goes Shopping - Sugar Nellie - Winter Wonderland DT

OMG.... I just realised that my post for yesterday hadn't appeared...... My apologies to the WW girls.

Can I start by welcoming my new followers. I am honoured to have you join my site.
Today is the start of a new Challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme this week is ' Christmas Shopping'.  It has to be a Christmas card to enter. 

I decided to use a favourite Sugar Nellie image 'Fifi goes shopping'.


Sorry about the pictures the light wasn't good.  I have used a lot of straight cutting on this card, and then just rounded the edges. The frame is a SB timeless rectangle and the corners are MB.  Ribbon and trim from my stash. Everything was distressed with walnut stain, and I added lots of glistening snow writer for the snow. Backing papers from LOTV.


She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and Prisma pencil.


The inside does reflect the front.


We have fabulous prizes from our sponsors this week.


Whiff of Joy - with a free stamp of the winners choice

Digital Delights - with a $5 voucher


I hope you will take the time to view the fabulous cards the other girls have made for your inspiration this week.  Just remember Christmas is getting nearer.... it's never too early to start making those cards.

Sledging with Daddy - LOTV - Winter Wonderland DT



Good morning everyone and welcome to my new followers.  Today is my first post as one of the DT at Winter Wonderland.  Yes I am now officially a snowflake.  The first challenge I am taking part in is 'Winter Animals'. So come on show us your polar bears, penguins or any other winter animal.  I have chosen to use 'Sledging with Daddy' from LOTV.  This is one I have had for ages and finally inked up.


Just for a change I made an easel card. Not a lot of colouring on this image but Promarkers used throughout. The trees are from Dee's Distinctively dies. Snowflake border from Joy Crafts. Small sentiment from Whimsy. Icicle border and merry christmas from Memory Box.


I used TONS of glamour dust on everything !!! and a little distress ink on edges.


The backing sheet I used has a slight sparkle too, which is why it appears to be two different colours here.
Please remember Christmas projects only.We are sponsored by

Hello Cupcake - LOTV - PFP DT.

Good morning everyone. I hope you have enjoyed your long weekend. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers, where the lovely Lou has chosen the theme 'Yummy Food or Drink'.
I have used an old LOTV stamp that has never seen ink before :) Hello Cupcake. An almost CAS card :)


She is cut using a SB labels 18 with a faux nestie behind her. I added Fishtail Stax and a few pearls and voila.


 She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and a little Prisma pencil.  I also added some Sukura pen to the cakes stand, and glossy accents to the cup and tops of the cupcakes.


The inside does reflect the front.
