Just for the fun of it

Old Pearl buttons new image

 

I was itching to colour this image 'Trying to read' by Mo Manning not for any particular reason other than to play with colour.   I'm not quite sure what he's reading but as he looks mystical I presume it's a book of spells or maybe with the  bottle he's conjuring a spirit or too, whatever I really enjoyed using the Promarkers to colour the image.  I would like to enter this into The Passion For Promarkers Challenge as I've used a new image and some old pearl buttons and gems Oh well I've had my playtime so now on with the housework.

Sleeping Infant Card

Old papers new image new hearts

This is my DT card for the I ♥ Promarkers Challenge and the theme  this week is Anything Goes with a bit of glitter using of course your Promarkers. I did apply a hint of glitter to the folds of the clothes but you can't see it that well, still that's the way it goes.  The image is from the Digi Doodle Shop who are sponsoring the challenge this week. 

After all the Christmas cards I've been making it was a delightful change to do something different, not that I know of any expectant mums to give this card to, or any babies coming up to their first birthday, so I'll put it way until I do.

Just Because Tilda Card

Hi all, thought I would make another Tilda card, I've followed the Magnolia Down Under sketch by Chantelle. My first thoughts were to use mainly white, but as the card progressed it became more gold than white.  Tilda is coloured with Promarkers keeping to golden yellows.  I cannot remember the name of the background paper, I've taken part of this paper for the side panels where I've randomly applied thick gold embossing powder and then applied gold glitter over the top.  The leaves and scrolls were cut from gold card I also made the lattice window from strips of the same card. white roses and butterfly complete the card.

Shabby and Chic Tilda

This is my second post today, thought it was time to do another Tilda card seems ages since my last one.  I did wonder if I pushing my luck as the light today is dreadful. I decided to follow  Donalda's Sketch over at Just Magnolia and tried to create a shabby chic look for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge. I'm not sure if I've managed to create the shabby look as I'm not very good at distressing paper, I either don't do enough or I end up over doing it.  In fact the more I look at this picture I'm beginning to wonder if it looked better under the dank dark light it which I created it lol. If you are wondering how I managed to take the picture on a dull day like today, I do have a makeshift type of light tent, which makes it possible to take photographs and it seems to work.
The stamp is one of the Magnolia range which I bought at the NEC along with a few others but I'm not counting  it's too scary, coloured with Promarkers.   The background paper is from a pad called Fairy Flora from Prima Marketing. Various other papers for the scrolls etc and flowers and I've created the faux stitching with a needle tool and pen, as I'm too lazy to bring out my sewing machine.

I bought this stamp at the NEC and is another from the LOTV range, I  seem to have a few of their stamps, although this was not intentional my collection just seemed to grow on it's own accord.  The image is coloured with Promarkers and I've used papers from the Silent Night Collection by Papermania.

Icy Colours Challenge #40 - I love ProMarkers

Hi all, it seems ages since my last post.  October and November have been especially good months for me and I'm thrilled to bits to say that I have been invited to join the girls over at I love ProMarkers as a permanent  member of the DT.

The I Love ProMarkers Challenge this week is Icy Colours and there is a fab prize from Letraset. 

For this card I have used a stamp from Lilli Of the Valley which I bought at the NEC last week, and thought it would be ideal for this challenge, I've used ProMarkers to colour the image mainly Arctic Blue, Powder Blue and Denim blue for the igloo, and used only two colours Ice Grey 3 and Ice grey 5 for the Pingo's.  The icicles I cut from card and glittered.  

Hope you  like and thank you for stopping by
