Toes in the Sand - Saturated Canary - Passion For Promarkers DT.

Good morning from a bright sunny North East England, isn't it lovely seeing the sun. Today it's Julie's turn to pick a theme for the PFP challenge, and she has chosen 'Summer Lovin', so nice and easy, anything you love about Summertime.
I have used a SC digi called 'Toes in the Sand', I actually bought it when it first came out and finally got around to using it.


She is just too cute, and a surfer too.  I cut her using SB curved rectangles and added a faux nestie behind her. The flowers are MB Hibiscus, again bought about 2 years ago and finally used. Backing Papers from Nitwits. Ribbon and sentiment from my stash.


She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Tria Markers. I added distress ink to the background.


The inside does reflect the front.


We are being sponsored this week by Whiff of Joy who are offering the lucky winner a their choice of stamp.


My other teamies have made beautiful cards again for your inspiration, hope you have a look at them here. Don't forget to enter this challenge you must use Letraset products (Pro,Flexi,Tria,Metalic,Neon or Aqua markers).  Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for taking the time to look

Warm in the Winter (2014) - The Paper Shelter - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning everyone hope you are enjoying the lovely weather. Just back from cruising the Med and thought it would be freezing when we got back.
Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where Lorraine has chosen the theme 'Blue Christmas', so lots of blue on your cards please.  I chose to use a TPS image 'Warm in the Winter' which I have coloured before in traditional colours.


She is cut using a SB labels 22, with a faux nestie behind her.  The poinsettia corner is a new one from Memory Box. and the gems are from my stash.


She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Tria Markers and I added copious amounts of Glamour Dust to the snow and as snowflakes.


The inside does reflect the front.


We are very lucky to have 2 sponsors this week.

La Mer - Aurora Wings - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning from a very wet and thundery North East England, so glad I am flying off this afternoon to the sunshine.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers, and although I chose the theme (before my holiday was booked) the lovely Lou is taking it over for me.  I chose 'I do like to be beside the seaside', so it's anything to do with the sea, in it, on it or beside it.


I have used this amazing image from Aurora Wings called 'La Mer'.  She is straight cut and all embellies are from my stash.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Tria Markers. I also added Sacura pen to her pearls and to the sea weed but unfortunately it doesn't show very well in the photos.


The inside does reflect the front.


We are very lucky this week to have two sponsors. Letraset are offering a set of 6 markers and Crafty Sentiments who are offering 3 digi's from their store

Ragged Angel - Mo's Digital Pencil - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning and hope it's a good one for you.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where the theme this week is 'Spots and Stripes'.  I have used a gorgeous Mo Manning image called Ragged Angel.  I cheated a little as the spots on my card are on her scarf rather than on the backing paper.


She is cut with SB Grand Ovals backed by a Grand scalloped oval. The corners and leaves are from MB. Flowers from LOTV. Backing papers, charms, rickrack ribbon and pearls are from my stash. It doesn't show very well in the picture but she is standing on Pinflair ice crystals and I also added glamour dust to her wings. The sentiment is a peal off.


She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkes and Triamarkers.


The inside does reflect the front.


On the inside I added a MB star border rather than the rickrack.

We have a wonderful sponsor this week 


Oyster Paper Crafts who are offering a £10 voucher to the winner
