Sarah - Wee Stamps - Sylvia Zet - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and our theme is ' Blooming Marvelous' chosen by the lovely Lisa. We want to see flowers on your card.  I have used one of Sylvia Zet's new images, 'Sarah' what a cutie she is.


For a change I made a criss cross card. She is cut using SB Grand opulent circles with a plain circle behind her. The 'lace' edging is a MS punch. I added holly spay from Sue Wilson and the poinsettia's are a mixture of Sue Wilson and Spellbinders. The resin flowers are from WOC.



She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Tria markers and Flexmarkers with some Prisma pencil added for depth.  I also added copious amounts of Glamour Dust to her fur trim and pompoms.  



The papers are all from LOTV and I added liquid pears to the ones inside the card and flat back pearls to the outside ones.


The inside of the card with a MB sentiment.


Our sponsor this week is the fabulous POLKADOODLES with the winner receiving a digi.

Let's Get Sentimental - Winter Wonderland Challenge.


Good morning. I hope everyone is well. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme is 'Let's Get Sentimental', really easy as there just has to be a sentiment somewhere on your project.
Something really different from me this week, a card without using Promarkers.  



I fell in love with the new Tonic dies and just had to order the full set. The sentiment is from an old Kanban set I had 'stored'. The poinsettia is a mixture of SB and Sue Wilson dies. Everything is mounted on a layer of gold and one of red mirror board.  The other side is cut with a SB grand square and I used Stormy Sky distress ink to create the background and give the trees some shading. The trees are a mixture of Marianne and Diesire dies. Santa should have another reindeer at the front but it wouldn't fit. It's cut with a Cheery Lynn die.  I then added copious amounts of Glamour Dust and Ice Crystals.


I created the inside with Nitwit papers and elements and the sentiment is computer generated using my favourite 'Tangerine' font.

So back to the challenge and this week we have 3 fabulous sponsors.


Delicious Doodles are offering 4 Digi's of your choice 

Digital Delights are giving a $5 voucher

To My Best Friend - Scrapberry's - Passion for Promarkers DT


Good morning everyone hope all is going well for you. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Julie has selected the theme 'Lace'.... we want to see it somewhere on your creation.  I finally got around to completing a card using a Scrapberry's image which is available from Funky Kits.


She is cut using a SB grand circle and mounted only a Marianne Circle die.  The butterfly is from MB and corners are Persian Accents,and sentiment mount is a lacy cirlcle, both age from SB.  The dp is from the Boufle pack. Lace from Live and love crafts and all pink is co-ordinations. 


She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Triamarkers and Flexmarkers with a little Prisma pencil added. I also distressed around the edge with spun sugar.


I added diamond stickles to the sentiment and top layer of the butterfly. Sorry for the quality of the photos, there just wasn't any sun and had to take these using daylights.


I added more Persian accents to the inside.

We are being sponsored this week by Letraset who are offering the winner a set of 6 Flexmarkers

The other girls have made fabulous cards for your inspiration this week, you can find them here.

Dan and Snowman - Digi Stamp Boutique - Winter Wonderland DT


Good morning everyone and welcome to my new followers on Bloglovin. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme this week is 'Frosty the Snowman', so we want to see a snowman somewhere on your card.  I chose to use a really cute image from Digi Stamp Boutique 'Dan and Snowman', and for a change I made a stepper card.



I cut him using a WRS snowflake frame. I added a straight cut card which I had added SB Essential Elements to, then mounted onto a LOTV paper and more co-ordinations and matt silver mirror board.
The snowflake side panels are mounted onto clear acetate and are from Joy Crafts. The little trees are from MB and the star is from JS.  The sentiment is LOTV and gems from my stash., phew quite a few elements :)


Abetter view of the image, which is of course coloured with Tria Markers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers with a little Prisma pencil for emphasis. I added glamour dust to the snowman, star and frame. He is standing on Pinflair Ice Crystals and I added glossy accents to his wellies, and the snowmans nose and buttons. Finally I added Glistening Snow Writet randomly to look like snow falling.


I just wish I could get glamour dust to show in pictures.
