Mother's Day Flower - Sassy Cheryl - Passion for Promarkers DT.

Ooops I forgot to post this this morning.
Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where the lovely Shelley has chosen the theme 'Rags to Riches' in other words recycle something on your card.  I have chosen to use a Sassy Cheryl image 'Mother's Day Flower' which makes a great birthday card too.  My recycled things are the acetate front, which was from the packaging of a shower mat, and the ribbon which was from a chocolate box.



I love her expression. She is cut with a SB labels 4 with a faux nestie behind her. The flower swirls are peel offs and I added flower gems to the centre.


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


The verse is from LOTV and the backing paper is Nitwits.


We are very lucky this week to be sponsored by Polka Doodles where the lucky winner will receive 2 images, Fredericka Chic and Fredericka Debutante

Christmas Carols - The Paper Shelter- Winter Wonderland DT.


Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme this week is 'A Christmas Choir', so we would love to see your images with singer/singers. I have used an image from The Paper Shelter 'Christmas Carols'.


I fussy cut them and added them to a Nitwits paper. I do love Nitwits as you can use plain papers and add your own embellishments before printing, as I did with the holly.  I can't remember where I got the song sheet from as I have had it for years. The ribbon, gems and charm are from my stash, and the sentiment was from the Hollypond Hill cd.


They are of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers with a little Prisma pencil for extra depth. I also added some white flower soft and Glamour dust to her coat.


The inside does reflect the front.

We have two wonderful sponsors this week so 2 chances of winning prizes.

Winter Friends - Wee Stamps - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning everyone  I'm back with a card for the Winter Wonderland DT where this week our challenge is 'I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas'. A white on white challenge where only your image can be coloured. I always find these so difficult to do and even worse to photograph.  I decided to use another of Sylvia Zet's wonderful images and used Winter Friends.


She is cut with a SB Grand labels 1. I added WOW white embossing powder around the edge before mounting her onto 2 layers of SB Grand Decorative labels 1.  I then added a SB poinsettia, Cheery Lynn Santa and sleigh, Memory box stag and 2 Marianne trees. The background is also embossed with a Darice snowflake folder.


She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma Pencils and I added some Glossy accents to her headband and boots.


I hope you will take the time to enter the challenge this week where Marianne Designs are offering a surprise
 gift for the winner.
