Lots of layers

Hi crafters,
Hope you've had a great week and are ready for another challenge at Passion for Promarkers.  Our lovely Linda has chosen a really easy theme for us this week and it's 'Lots of Layers'.  A great excuse to use up some of the lovely paper stash that we all have - I've decided I'm not buying any papers this year - I'm going to use up all the papers I already have, even the really nice ones that I haven't been able to part with up to now!!!
We are very kindly sponsored by Digi Stamp Boutique and they are offering the lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to use in their online store.  There are so many digis to choose from for absolutely every occasion and they are all such great images.

We were lucky enough to have an image to use for our cards this week so have a look at all the lovely Design Team cards for some ideas.
I've used 'Spring Bentley' on my card and I had a bit of a go at creating some fur for the little bunny!  I used my promarkers first for the base colour then I used my colour pencils to add the detail.

I found some coordinating papers to add the layers and added a trellis die behind the image (although I did a great job of covering it up!!)  I even got the sewing machine out and added some stitching to all the layers.  My little fence die came out again too and I added some punched flowers with gems to them.  Some matching WOC flowers were the finishing touch and a bit of glitter here and there!

I look forward to visiting your blogs to see all your lovely entries - remember it doesn't have to be a card, it can be any type of creation but to be eligible for the prize, you must use your Winsor & Newton products.

See you soon,
Karen xx

Masculine Card

Hi crafters,

Happy New Year to you all - hope you've had a lovely break and ready to get crafting again!   My boys have both returned to Uni after Christmas so I'll be throwing myself back into crafting to help with the empty nest syndrome again!  I don't think it gets any easier - they come home but then they leave again!!
Anyway, there's a great new challenge at Passion for Promarkers to help us all get back into crafting mode and this week, Kitty has chosen the theme of 'Masculine cards'.  You can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  Please remember to be eligible for the prize you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.

This week, we are kindly sponsored by Sasayaki Glitter who are offering the lucky winner 1 digi image from their online store.  Their images are amazing and we were lucky enough to use one of their digis for our cards this week.

The image I've used is called 'Shy Flies a Kite' and I really enjoyed colouring this image with my promarkers.

I added some bunting to carry on the kite theme and some die cut clouds and added a bit of hession behind the image to add a bit of texture!  A couple of buttons are always handy for male cards as well!!
I look forward to visiting your blogs to see your cards for this challenge!
See you soon,
Karen xx
