Surprise!

It's Tuesday again - so that means a new challenge has started at Passion for Markers and this week the theme is 'Add A Sentiment' - nice and easy!  Our sponsor is Dr Digi's House Of Stamps and so I haved used their image 'Connie Confectionery' - she just makes me smile and as I have aquired a few more Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend pens , I have used a gorgeous pink one to colour up the image, I have kept my card simple again as I'm just not into 'difficult' at the moment:

 Papers - 'Soft Cuddles (pink)' - LOTV

Sentiment - Kanban 'Holly Hobby'

I used a petal die for my 'balloons'

Finished off with pink gems and white bows

Challenges:

'Anything Goes with the option of more than one layer' - I Love Promarkers

'Anything Goes with optional bright colours' - Cute Card Thursday

Totally Turquoise

Morning everyone, We have a new challenge starting today at Passion for Markers  and we would like you to 'Add A Tag' to your projects.

Our sponsor is Crafty Sentiments and I have used one of their lovely digi stamps on my DT card - this is 'Emmi Loo - Just Me'

Things have been pretty hectic for me recently and so I kept my card fairly simple, using my second favourite colour - turquoise and I have a confession to make - I used a Spectrum Noir 'Tri-blend' marker for all the turquoise colouring and I must admit I found having 3 shades of the same colour in one pen really simple and convenient.

Papers - 'Perfect Partners (mint and white) - The Paper Boutique

I used Hunkydory's 'Inverted Corner Rectangle' nesting dies as well as a tag and a daisy die and  finished things off with a small white bow

Pink and green!

 We have one of my favourite challenge themes starting today at Passion for Markers - we would like to see your 'Favourite Colours' on your projects. 

My all time favourite colour combo is pink and green and although I have used this image more than once before, I just love her and couldn't resist featuring her again!

 Oh my gosh, how hot is it? I don't enjoy crafting in this weather - everything seems to stick to me and I can't risk turning on a fan!

 But I have persevered as we have a new challenge at Passion for Markers and this week it's 'Celebrate' , for my DT card I have used an image from our sponsor Sheepski Designs ( I'm really into Gnomes at the moment and couldn't resist this image)
