Morning and hello!
It's a new year and a new challenge for you all over at Passion for Markers! Passion for Promarkers are now open for all kind of markers. Take a look at our challenge blog. We crafters are mixing and matching our markers a lot more than before and therefor did we decide to open up the challenge "a bit". That means that you can come and play with us even if you use Copics or any other brand.
We are starting the year with a simple challenge. Our theme is set to Birthdays. Should be nice and easy, right?
We are sponsored by Lee Holland which is offering one lucky winner 2 images of your choice.
I have used a sweet elephant image called Elephant with flowers. It's coloured with Promarkers and some pencils for a little more shadow. I must say it was hard to get this card together, not just because I have made tons of Christmas cards that are piling up in my craft room already, but I have not coloured in a long time. But most of all because I always have a hard time going from Christmas to anything else. It's always that way. I will have to stay up a whole night and start creating my birthday cards again.
I have paired the little Elephant with some old papers from Forever Friends called Pink Parfait. I hope to be able to use up some of the old stuff during the year coming around. I found some lovely sketches on Pinterest and used one of those. I needed it to kick start this card. I dug out an old punch from Martha Stewart and some paper flowers as well. Used a die from Magnolia for the swirly thing in the flower cluster and then some Nuvo drops in white and Morning Dew. I love these drops, unfortunately does my Maine Coon that as well. I managed to save the card. The cat? Well, I have some lovely white paw prints on my floor. LoL Still she gives me reasons to smile and I love it that she keeps me company. This wasn't as bad as it was when she walked in my palette of distress inks. Even if they don't get stuck that much. she had blue and yellow paws for a few weeks. I should have taken a photograph and saved.
Anyway, I hope that you come and play along with us and do take some time to relax!
Love n hugs
