I have used an image from our sponsor to make a get well card for my aunt who is recovering from a rather nasty heart op although to my mind this bunny looks more hung over than poorly! lol

Happy Halloween card

 We have another fun challenge for you all at Passion for Markers this week and Linda would like to see projects that are 'Anything Other than Christmas'

Our sponsor is Dr Digi's HOS and I have used one of their images to make a Halloween card - not the sort of card I usually make, but I love this fun image, so here it is warts and all (my card, not Wilma lol!) my bright green promarker decided to die on me mid card, so my colouring's a bit patchy!

Image - 'Witchy Wilma' - Dr Digi HOS coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir Tri-blends

Paper is from an old LOTV pad

Finished off with some cobwebs cut using a Joanna Sheen die and some green gems

 We have a new challenge starting today at Passion for Markers - another nice and easy one, Karen would like you to use your 'Favourite Colours' on your projects

I am in a phase of making different shaped cards and this time I chose to make a diamond easel card - courtesy of a Youtube video by Sam Calcott which you can find here.  My favourite colours always include pink and here I have teamed it up with turquoise.
