Santa's family Selfie

Good morning
Today sees the start of a new challenge at I love Promarkers and this time we are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter and its an ANYTHING GOES theme.

I have used an image called Santa's Family Selfie.  I am going to try (see how long I keep it up for??!) and make a few Christmas cards all year around this year as I am always rushing and my nearest and dearest always seem to be the ones that end up losing out. I must owe my Husband several years of Birthday, Valentines and Anniversary cards!!

I cut some Doodlebug christmas papers down to make a panel and put some green glitter ribbon across to cover the join. I coloured the image and then cut a frame from black card and glued the image behind it. I added three little red gems to the bottom corner and also die cut the greeting from black card using a Lawn Fawn die.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Usual
Warm grey hair
Poppy, Ruby & Cardinal Red.
Emerald, lush green & lime green
Cocoa & caramel

Looking forward to seeing your creations!

I have used paper from Lawn Fawn Snow days and present paper from Pink Fresh Oh joy and covered the join with red Ric Rac ribbon. I added some Doodlebug enamel dots and a clear sticker greeting from Simple Santa Claus and Co. I die cut the image using a Lawn Fawn double stitched oval and mounted it onto black.

Skin - Ivory, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.

You're my Number One.

Dr Digi and I love promarkers Pride and Joy

Tea & Biscuits for Dad.

Morning - Today's card is made for the latest Dr Digi challenge to celebrate the 4th Birthday! I have used Feet up and a Cuppa 

and some of the fab Biscuit background papers but better than that you can buy these as a Tea time Set and all for a bargain price.  

If you use one of the Tea images (and there are loads of them...) to enter the challenge you could win one of the fab Mugs - Its being called a Mug-a-thon!!

To make this card I cut a panel from the Biscuit paper and mounted this onto black and Kraft card. I used a Lawn fawn die to cut the wonky stitched panel and mounted this on Black also. I stamped a Lawn Fawn greeting across the bottom to say "Happy Father's Day" and glued a Wooden Tea Cup to the end. I coloured the image and used 3d foam to attach it, which I also did with the die cut letters from Papermania.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Top & Slippers - Khaki & Pesto
Chair - Vanilla, Pastel Yellow & Starfish.
Hair - Cool Greys 1, 2, 3 & 4

Animal Magic at The Paper Shelter.

Morning All -
Today is the start of a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter. The theme is Animal magic and I knew I had to use this image called Tucan. How cool is he??!

I used a black card base and covered this with a White zigzag die cut panel using My Favourite things Die-namics. I knotted a strip of Blue ribbon and glued this down the edge. I placed the coloured image over the zigzags and then added the die cut leaves which I cut using my Silhouette. I used star dust stickles on the leaves and beak to make them glisten a little.
I finally added a white peel off greeting and a few co-ordinating coloured gems.

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Birds body - Black & Ice Greys
Beak - Gold, Pumpkin, Mandarin & Orange, Sky blue, Azure & Prusian, Vermillion & Maroon.
Leaves - Lime zest, Lime Green, Grass & Emerald
Branch - Raw Sienna & Cocoa.
All edged in Cloud Blue.
