Passion for ProMarkers challenge.

Heres my first creation for Passion for Promarkers challenge ,this weeks challenge is to follow a sketch.I used one of my new Magnolia summer stamps shes so cute.Of course coloured her with Promarker pens and highlighted with good old sakura white gel pen.

I love easel cards so seem to be making alot of them lately,I used some paper from my bits and bobs box so I havent got a clue what paper it is sorry :(.

The shells and rope stamps are also from the new Magnolia summer stamp set,I stamped the shells and then embossed them to make them look more 3d and then stuck them down with 3d pads.Oh and also the sentiment is from the new magnolia stamp set.I really like this card think Im off to crafting shed today to make some more.

Please pop over to http://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/ to see the DT great creations with this sketch and the great prize you can win this week its a £10 voucher for Joanna Sheen.

Polkadoodles challenge "Stamp Away"

Heres my entry for this weeks challenge at http://polkadoodle.blogspot.com/ .This week the challenge envolves stamping,so I have used the meeshelle stamp set of the cute polkadoodles fairies and made a milk carton with the Paper boutique cd rom which you can get here http://www.polkadoodles.com/ .I stamped the butterflies and coloured with pro marker pens then I painted over the top of the colours with glitter glue.This has made them alot more hardy and hopefully wont rip off the carton so easily.The small butterflies I just coloured in and glued on to the carton.

Sorry about the mess on the table,the wind was blowing,shadows from the umbrella were being a pain and the batteries were not at full power so were flashing at me so the mess on the table was the least of my troubles lol :).

Hope you like.

Polkadoodles Paper Boutique CD rom

Well I dont post anything in a week or two and then post twice in one day. :p

I made these cards using the cd rom I won on a polkadoodle challenge a couple of months ago.Its called paper boutique and its a lovely cd that you can make 3d cards.I made the monkey for my nephew from his nanny for his 5th birthday later this month,and the car card was for my mil friends nephew but hes a bit older than my nephew (i think hes in his 30's).The monkey one is 3d on the back as well he was such fun to make funny little monkey!!! The car one I just 3d the front of the car and then put it on a 6" square card was so simple and was perfect apparently mil friend said :) Made a lovley blue envelope to match as I dont have any 6" envelopes but good old scor pal was there to save the day.Hope you like.
