Marie Antoinette - Aurora Wings - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning everyone.... still away in Egypt but I have scheduled my post again for this week.  The lovely Nic has chosen the theme of 'Make it Feminine' at Passion for Promarkers this week.  I have used an Aurora Wings image 'Marie Antoinette' and had great fun colouring her up and looking for colours that are different from the ones others have used.


She is cut with SB Elegant labels 4 and Grand labels 4. They do work so well together. She is mounted on green co-ordinations card with matt gold mirror board behind her in layers.  The flowers are from WOC and the pearls are from my stash.


She is coloured with Triamarkers, Promarkers and Flexmarkers with a little Sacura pen on the pearls. I also added glossy accents to her lips and to the cherry on the cake. I added a little pumice stone Distress ink around her.


The inside does reflect the front but with less layers.

We are being sponsored this week by Bugaboo Stamps who are offering 7 digis of their choice to the lucky winner.

Don't forget to enter you have to follow the theme and use Letraset products to colour your image, (Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers, Aqua markers, Metalic markers or Neon Markers)
I hope you will take the time to look at the fabulous cards my teamies have made for your inspiration this week.

Mistletoe - Kenny K - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning everyone, as you are reading this I am enjoying (hopefully) the sunshine in Egypt again. Hope the weather is being a little better for you than it was last week at home.
Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where the lovely Lynsey has chosen the theme of 'Layer it up' so we definitely want to see a few on your creations.
We are being sponsored this week by Kenny K and I chose to use the glam 'Mistletoe' for my card.


She is cut using the middle SB Snowflake view die and mounted onto red co-ordinations card. The backing papers are from Nitwits. Sentiment from LOTV. Icicles from Cheery Lynn and trees from Dee's Distinctive dies (I think, sorry if I am wrong) Ribbon, gems and brad from my stash.


She is coloured with Triamarkers, Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I added Flowersoft and Glamour Dust to her fur, and glossy accents to her eyes, lips and belt.


The trees have a coating of snowtex to the edges and I dotted all over with white pen.


The inside does reflect the front.

Now back to our sponsor, Kenny K is offering 3 digi's of your choice to the winner.



Don't forget we are a Christmas challenge site so your card has to be Christmas related.  I hope you will have a look at the fabulous cards the other girls have made for your inspiration this week.

Christmas Tweets - Digi Stamp Boutique - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning everyone. I'm here today with a card for this weeks 'Make it Digital' challenge at Passion for Promarkers where the lovely Marie has chosen the theme (use a digital image and or papers.  I have used one of our sponsor's images 'Christmas Tweets' because I just love this cute image.


Just for a change I have made an A5 landscape card.  The frame is from SB, Snowflake View. and I cut them by drawing around the inside of the frame to make a faux nestie. The bells are from MB. The sentiment is straight cut using a freebie I got from a magazine.



They are of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and a little Prisma Pencil. I added copious amounts of Glamour Dust around the frame and on the star and bells.  Flower soft to the hats and a Glimmer Ice pen to form the icicles on the branch.


The inside does match the front, just wish I could get the sparkle to show.

Wedding Couple - Aurora Wings

Good afternoon everyone. Today I have a card that has been made for a while but I can finally show it as the couple should have it now.  I was asked to make a wedding card by a friend and that was just the week that Mitzi at Aurora Wings brought out this image 'Wedding Couple'.... perfect for what I wanted.

They are cut using a SB grand oval and mounted onto a grand decorative oval. Those beautiful corners are from Tattered Lace 'Chantilly Heart'. The sentiment is computer generated and on a SB banner die.  The ribbon, lace and pearls are from my stash and the flowers are from WOC.


The are of course couloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers and I added some Prisma Pencil and Sakura pen (the dress actually his gold highlights but it doesn't show in the photo's).


The inside does reflect the front but I didn't add the corners.


another veiw


This shows the box for it to go in. On here I used the new Marianne Anja's circle die, Tattered lace  congratulations and Cheery Lynn wedding rings.

I am entering the Aurora Wings 'Anything goes' challenge on facebook.
