Elf with Poppy Blooms - Aurorawings - Passion for Promarkers DT

Well finally I get to post my card.   What a couple of days I've had. Was working on the pc on Sunday and thought I could smell something strange......  I could..... it was the power supply burning out.  Smoke and sparks coming from the pc...... luckily for me it didn't affect the hard drive and the lovely little boy.... must be at least 18... :)  managed to save it and add it to my new pc. £440 later and a days wait and I am up and running again and desperately trying to work out what to reinstall.  This is also a Windows 7... totally different from Vista so it will take a while to get used to.

Anyhow enough of my moans.... Welcome to my new follower, thanks for taking the time to join my list.

Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and I have chosen this week's theme, which is 'Butterfly Kisses' (must have a butterfly somewhere).... easy or what?

I have used another image from Aurora Wings and this is Elf with Poppy Blooms.  I adore poppies but decided to go with the Icelandic type this time.

No added flowers as I didn't want to detract from the gorgeous image. She is cut with a SB Grand oval and matted onto another one and then I added a Grand Decorative oval.  The sentiment is from LOTV and is mounted onto a lacey circle.  The butterflies under the ribbon and the single one are from MB and the ones on the other side are Joanna Sheens.  Everything is mounted onto co-ordinations.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, and Triamarkers. I also added Prisma pencil for extra depth and stickles to the lightest parts of the flowers. Wish it showed more.  I also filled in the butterfly wings with glossy accents, but again it doesn't show.

The inside does reflect the front.

We have two generous sponsors this week – first is our regular sponsor Letraset and they are offering one lucky winner a flex marker 6 pack of pens. 

 

Our second sponsor is one of our brand new sponsors this year - Crafty Sentiments designs – and they are offering one lucky winner a prize of 3 digi images of their choice.  They have so many gorgeous digis in their store and the DT have used a couple on their cards this week.

Cute Cave Girl - The Paper Shelter - TPS DT

Good morning everyone, back again, but this time with my TPS head on.  Today is the start of a new challenge 'Animal Crackers' and oh my have The Paper Shelter girls made some gorgeous cards for your inspiration this week.

I have used Cute Cave Girl and decided to go with decoupage as Veronica's colouring is so stunning here.

She really is so cute and as for her crazy pet.... So no colouring for me and I used to backing that come with her only adding a couple of layers of co-ordinations and a few pearls from my stash. U also added glossy accents to her eyes and mouth and the the cat's nose and teeth.

There are actually 5 layers to her and the great thing is you get a matching 'plain' backing to use as the insert for your card so it keeps everything matching beautifully.

I have used an image from Aurora Wings with Mitzi's fabulous image 'Heartstrings'. Oh wow can that lady draw and what people can do with these images amazes me. I feel like a true novice when I look at some of the work. Her facebook page is here.

She is straight cut and mounted twice on co-ordinations. All the die cuts are from Tattered lace and I added a few pearls for added dimension. The dp is from First Edition.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers with the addition of a little Prisma pencil and some gold and green Sakura pen to add a little glitter.

The inside does reflect the front and I added a few more die cuts from Tattered Lace.

Stylish Flirting - The Paper Shelter - TPS DT

Hi everyone, back with a card for this weeks The Paper Shelter challenge where the theme this week is  'Be My Valentine'.  I have used one of the newest images 'Stylish Flirting' which I have added to a background from an art deco cd.

I think they work really well together. My backing paper is from Nitwits, Butterfly swirls are from Joanna Sheen. Large hearts and heart border from Joy Crafts and large butterfly from Memory Box.It doesn't show but the dark red is a mixture of red mirror and glitter board.  

They are of course coloured with Triamarkers, Promarkers and Flexmarkers with some added Prisma pencil. I also decided to add a little white pen to highlight the dress, and added glossy accents to her earring.

Wish I could get the sparkle to show :(

My other teamies have made some gorgeous cards for your inspiration, I hope you will have a look at them. Our prize this week as always is $30 of products if you use a TPS image and 3 digi's of your choice for any other image.

Delicious Cocoa - The Paper Shelter - TPS DT

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter, where the theme this week is 'All Wrapped Up'.  If you check out my teamies cards you will see that this can be interpreted in a few ways.

I have made a male card for a change and used 'Delicious Cocoa' as he is certainly wrapped for cold weather.  He is cut with a SB grand circle with a faux nestie behind him. The papers are from papermania. Sentiment stamp from LOTV and ribbon and cardcandi from my stash.

He is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and a little Prisma pencil. I also used distress ink and stain on the background.

The inside is a reversal of the front.

Ooops forgot to post this last night. Good morning everyone, really excited to show one of the latest Sylvia Zet images 'Emily'. Had her inked up and coloured as soon as she was released. She is perfect to use for our new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Nic has chosen the theme of 'Anything Goes'.

Flowers from WOC. Small butterflies a MS punch. Pearls from Hobby Craft. The ribbon charm  leaves and sentiment are from my stash.

She is of course coloured with promarkers, flexmarkers, triamarkers and a little prisma pencil.

Cleo - The Paper Shelter - TPSDT

Good morning everyone back again this time with a card for the new The Paper Shelter Challenge where the theme this week is 'Winter Blues' (A card with mainly blue as the colour)

I chose to use the Tony and Cleo image without Tony :).  I made so many Christmas cards I felt I needed to get away from winter cards and made this one for my niece's birthday as she loves anything Egyptian.

I used the background that comes with the image but changed the colour to blue. She is fussy cut and mounted onto gold mirror card and coordinations. The addition of a peel off. ribbon and some gems and voila.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and I also used a gold sparkle Sakura pen on her crown, hair and bangle.

The inside does reflect the front.

The prize this week as always is $30 of digi's if you use a TPS image, and 3 digi's of your choice for any other image.

  

My other teamies have made some fabulous cards for your inspiration and I hope you will check them out.

Queenie and Princess - Saturated Canary - Passion for Promarkers DT.

Good morning everyone, hope you have all recovered from the holiday celebrations.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Lou has chosen the theme of 'Just a Fairytale', so we want to see your Prince's, Princesses, Castles, Dragons etc.

I have used a digi image from Saturated Canary, that I must have bought a year ago and finally inked up, Queenie and Princess.   

Krista really does draw some beautiful images. I fussy cut them and cheated with the background as it's from a card I made about 18 months ago :). The sentiment is from LOTV and it's mounted onto a SB lacy circle. The corners are from my stash.

They are of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and a little Prisma pencil.  I also added glossy accents to the crown.

Sorry the pictures are a little dark, I still haven't got my lightbox out from being put away at Christmas.  (The joy :( of not having a separate craft room is that everything is put away and out of sight, now all I have to do is remember where I put everything ;) ).

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and I think the prize is a set of Flexmarkers.

The other girls have made some beautiful cards for your inspiration, I hope you will take the time to look at them. Don't forget to enter you have to use Letraset products (Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers, Aquamarkers etc.)
