Add a Sentiment

Come and join us at I ❤️Promarkers, our challenge theme is

 'Add a Sentiment'

I placed a digital background behind the image before printing and then coloured the image with Promarkers.  Stickles were used for a bit of extra decoration.  The image was then mounted on black card and then placed on the card base which I had covered with some lovely textured paper I have had for ages.  The image used is Party Chicks from Papernest Dolls.

The sponsor for this challenge is Papernest Dolls with a prize for the winner is 3 Digi Images.

Paper Nest Dolls

The challenge this fortnight at I ❤️Promarkers is
 'Use 3 Layers'

and the sponsor for this challenge is Paper Nest Dolls with a prize of 3 images from the store.

The image from Paper Nest Dolls I have used for our challenge is Emma With Snowflake Banner.

It is such a long time since I made a tag and this image seemed perfect to make one now.  I cut and embossed my label then used Distress Oxides to colour it and a bit of silver stamp pad for good measure.  For my first layer I added some Christmas snowflake ribbon.  I then coloured my image with Promarkers and fussy cut (removing the end snowflakes as there was not way I could fussy cut them at this size lol).  Emma and the label were then attached as my second layer.  For my final layer I added some peel off sticker snowflakes were were just the right size.  To finish off a silver bow was added and some simple red ribbon.

Hi There

The challenge this fortnight at I ❤️Promarkers is
 'No Patterned Papers'

and the sponsor for this challenge is Paper Nest Dolls with a prize of 3 images from the store.

The image from Paper Nest Dolls I have used for our challenge is Sun N Fun Emma, I fancied a flamingo card so just used the flamingo from the image twice.

This is what the full image I took the flamingo from looks like - 

I coloured the image with Promarkers - Salmon Pink, Cocktail Pink, Baby Pink, Lemon, Mustard and Black.  Next I stencilled the design onto the card as it needed a bit of texturing and as this is a 'no pattern paper' challenge stencilling was one way I could add the texture to the image layer.  Next I added some very pretty lace flowers which I have had for ages and totally forgotten they were in the box, a lovely find lol.  A very simple card but I do love how it turned out and perfect to send to somebody for no other reason than to say 'Hi'

Captain Owen

The challenge this fortnight at I ❤️Promarkers is
 'Circles'

and the sponsor for this challenge is Paper Nest Dolls with a prize of 3 images from the store.

The image from Paper Nest Dolls I have used for our challenge is Captain Owen.

Circles, circles, circles everywhere lol.  As this challenge is all about circles I decided to create a design paper using Illustrator made up on semi transparent circles to create the sea, sky and a sun.  The image was then printed also using the circles design to carry the theme through.  I don't know what was going on, if it was me or my Promarkers but for some reason I really struggled with the colouring.  My poor Promarkers are getting old bless them lol.  To finish off the card I mounted the top image layer using foam tape and then die cut a lovely golden anchor.

Lovable Racoon

The challenge this fortnight at I ❤️Promarkers is
 'Add A Sentiment'

and the sponsor for this challenge is Paper Nest Dolls with a prize of 3 images from the store.

The image from Paper Nest Dolls I have used for our challenge is Racoon with Heart Box.

Image coloured with Promarkers and oh how naughty the Warm Grey markers were.  I ended up colouring the image 3 times with the first 2 attempts in the bin lol.  My Warm Grey no. 5 dried up on me so I tried a dark brown - the brown did not look right so bin that attempt and try to give my Warm Grey a drink of Alcohol Blending solution to revive it.  Yep that worked fabulously until it decided to leak a wonderful great big blob on the image grrrrr - second attempt into the bin.  For the 3rd attempt I just used Warm Grey 4, 3 and 2, still not as I would like it but a heck of a lot better than the first 2 attempts.  I am sure we all get days when the card we are making just will not come together as planned but we battle on and live to create another day hahah.  I fussy cut the image once coloured then went down the die cutting route for the background and sentiment using papers that were free many moons ago with a magazine and cream card.

Promarkers used  : - Warm Grey 4, 3, 2, 1, Ice Grey 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Black, Cranberry and Baby Pink
