Passion for Promarkers challenge #78

My how times flies, it only seems like yesterday i was posting about last weeks PfP challenge.
This week  the theme chosen by the very talented Sue, is 'stitching (real or faux) and distressing'.
For my DT sample this week i have used Santa Reading List by Whiff of Joy Stamps.

I have done a very simple tutorial featuring this image showing how i colour with reds, so keep an eye on the PfP weekend workshops every Friday

Our sponsor this week is Stampeezee, who are offering one lucky winner a £10 voucher to spend in their online store.

I would also like to enter this card into A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge, which is distressing.

Passion for Promarkers challenge #77

This weeks PfP challenge theme set by the lovely Julie is to use colours of old photos (i.e sepia or black & white).
The image i have used on my DT sample this week is Melinda blowing kisses by Whiff of Joy. I have coloured her using just one AquaMarker, Lamp Black.

Our sponsor this week is Secret Crafter who have kindly donated a £10 voucher to spend in their store.

Passion for Promarkers challenge #74

Shock, horror! yet another week has passed me by and it's Tuesday again. That means a new PfP challenge, and this week the theme chosen by the lovely Anja is 'pink & white or purple & white Christmas card' .
I went with the pink option and the image i have used is Willow with Santa's stocking by Whiff of Joy Stamps, which i coloured  with AquaMarkers.

This week we are being sponsored by Whiff of Joy Stamps and the prize is the winners choice of one of their fabulous stamps.

Passion for Promarkers challenge #66

This weeks PfP challenge has been set by the very talented Debs, and she has given us this fabulous sketch to follow and also wants us to use the theme of Autumn.

The image i  have used on my DT card this week is Fall Willow catching leaves from Whiff of Joy stamps and i have coloured her with my AquaMarkers.

Passion for Promarkers challenge #47

This weeks challenge at PfP is set by Ida, and she would like to see you 'Make the background of your card with Promarkers'.
For my DT sample i've embossed a piece of white card using the Roses Cuttlebug folder, then coloured the embossed roses. Then i created a gingham effect mat using Dusky Rose by  drawing lines with the chisel tip, first in one direction, then the other, you then get a darker colour where the two lines cross. I really liked the result, so will definitely be using that method again. I also made the rose with card embossed with the Swiss Dot folder, and coloured the dots too.
The image i've used is Willow with flowers by Whiff of Joy.

This weeks prize is a pack of 5 Promarkers donated by Letraset.

Passion for Promarkers challenge #36

This weeks PfP challenge colour combo are Pastel Green and Blossom. For my entry have used Fred Celebrating Elephant from Whiff of Joy stamps, which incidentally was my prize in the PfP mega prize challenge.

Back in the swing of things

I can't believe i haven't so much as cut a piece of paper since before Christmas, but now the boys are back to school/work i can get stuck in and i have lots of catching up to do.
I've made nine cards in two days, eight of which i can't share just yet, but this one i can.
I am entering this card into the Passion for Promarkers challenge #33, this week you can use any colours, but it must have a love theme and use this sketch.

The papers i used are last years American Crafts Romance range which i forgot i had, the image is Henry Mouse Hugging Heart from Whiff of Joy Stamps, and the sentiment and 'hugs' strip are from The Cutting Cafe', Valentine Long Phrases and All About Valentine's Day printable stamp sets.

Anything but a card with a Christmas or New Year theme............

that's all you have to make to enter the PfP mega Christmas challenge, (and use your Promarkers of course). I just can't stop making little treat boxes/bags, this will have to be my last one, as i still haven't wrapped any more gifts, (maybe i'll just buy some large gift bags to put them in instead).

For this little bag, I have used another WoJ stamp, Willow with gingerbread heart, from this years Winter collection. The bag and poinsettia were both cut on my Cricut.

Passion for Promarkers mega prize challenge

I really should be wrapping Christmas gifts today but  i'd rather have a little play in my craft-room instead. So here's a simple little treat box i've just made to enter into the PfP mega prize challenge.
The cute image is Henry Mouse holding Christmas Wreath from Whiff of Joy stamps.

and the inside, mmmmm Lindor!

Passion for Promarkers week 27

For this weeks PfP challenge you can use any colours you choose, but the theme is vintage. I'm not sure if this passes as vintage, but it's my take on it. The image is Willow with Christmas candle by Whiff of Joy Stamps

Passion for Promarkers week 26

This weeks PfP challenge colours are Marsh Green and Burnt Umber. I've used my favorite image from the Whiff of Joy winter 2009 set, Willow with Santa's Stocking, and made an easel card, i love these and i'm having to stop myself making all my cards easel cards at the mo.
The sentiment is part of the CHRISTMAS CARD INSIDE GREETINGS....PRINTABLE STAMP SET from The Cutting Cafe'.

close-up of the sentiment

and the colours i used are

We played with paper too.

Here's a couple of the cards i made this weekend, yes we did do some crafting too, lol. I even made a layout, which i haven't done for almost two years.
Both images are from this years Whiff of Joy Winter stamp set. I have also used the one of the Oval and Rectangle Nellie's Multi Frame dies, which you can find here.

Passion for Promarkers week 16

This weeks PfP challenge colours are Sandstone and Blue Pearl.
Here's my take on the challenge. The image is one of the Fall 2009 Whiff of Joy stamps called Sitting Farmer Oakley, and he is sitting on the large mushroom. I added texture to the top of mushroom by dotting on it with the Promarker blender. For the branches i used my Leone Em Ash branch punch.
Here's the colours i used,

Special friend

Happy Saturday everyone.

My new Fall Stamp Set from Whiff of Joy arrived this week, and i was itching to get at least one of them inked up, coloured with my Promarkers and popped onto a card, so i settled for this one. Originally she is chasing leaves but i'm not ready for Autumn yet, so i made her chase Martha Stewart butterflies instead. I think they are tropical butterflies, as they the size of her hands. lol


The sentiment is from the HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SPECIAL FRIEND...HUGE CIRCLE PRINTABLE STAMP SET, i love these circle sentiments Regina designs and they can resized to the exact size you want . You can probably spot a circle shaped card thing going on with me lately too.

PFP challenge week 3

Here's my card for this weeks challenge over on PFP. This weeks colours of Promarkers to use are Cinnamon and Pumpkin, which go together so well. You need to check out the DT creations, they are gorgeous. I have used another WOJ stamp, this one is called Oakley with slipcover.

I also used a bit of Ivory, Blush, Cocoa and Apricot.

More passion for Promarkers

I just couldn't resist making another card for the PfP challenge. I used another WOJ stamp, this one is called Willow in the summer breeze.

Challenge 1

Passion for Promarkers has gone live with their first challenge with some fantastic prizes from their sponsors. This week is anything goes, which means you can use any colours of Promarkers you wish. The DT have done some amazing cards, not sure mine is up to their standard, but i enjoyed making it, so that's all that matters.
I coloured this WOJ stamp (Dreamy Willow with flowers) using Ivory and Blush for the skin and Apple and Meadow Green for her dress, sorry i forgot to note the colours i used for her hair. The papers are from a free digital kit called Easy Breezy by Summer Driggs.

Another WOJ

Here's the another card i made yesterday, this time i used Willow with flower basket from WOJ and again the papers are BG Wisteria.
