CAS Happy Hour Horace.

Morning - there is a new challenge starting today at I love Promarkers and the theme is Clean and Simple (CAS). The Sponsor is Dr Digi so I've used this image which just demands to be nowhere near frills or glitter called  Happy Hour Horace.  And let me tell you - I know a few men that would "celebrate" so miserably! We all know the type - that are only happy when they have something to moan about!! 

 So I have gone extreme with the CAS and muted colours. I printed the image off and then coloured it in with Promarkers. I cut the base card to the right size to go on a 6X6 card and then drew a frame free hand with a fine liner pen. I stamped the ironic greeting from Paper smooches Bold Buzz words stamps and added the black gems from Hobby craft. I covered the pint glass with glaze to make it shine.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour Horace -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Jacket & Hat -  Pastel Beige, Khaki, & Soft Khaki.
Shirt - Warm Grey 1 & Linen
Tie - Cardinal Red & Burgundy
Drink - Sandstone, Saddle Brown, Walnut and covered with Powder Blue.
Umbrella - Sunflower & Turqouise.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Crafty Catz -  ATG - Male cards
Crafts Galore Encore - ATG


I hope you like what I've done with Happy Hour Horace - there is lots more CAS inspiration over at the challenge blog so be lovely to see your entries and you could win some great images from Dr Digi

Sweet treats with love

This weeks challenge at I love Promarkers is sponsored by Just Inklined and I picked this lovely image called Be Mine to go with the theme of Food & Drink.

I kept this card clean and simple - I made the image the feature by printing it quite big. I tied a big bow from Doodlebug ribbon to match the image's bow. I mounted the image on to patterned paper from Heidi Swapp - Favourite things collection. I added some doodlebug sequins and crystal gems to add a bit of sparkle and a greeting using a Peel off.

I used these promarkers -
Ice grey 1 & 2 to Shade the bag
Honeydew & Pastel Green
Pale Pink, Baby Pink & Carmine
Soft Lime
Aquamarine.

I also used a Staedtler 0.3mm fine liner pen in pink to add the writing on the love hearts and also to draw a boarder edge to the card.

I'd Like to enter this card into the following challenges -

The Ribbon Girl  - ATG
Cupcake Inspirations -  Photo Inspiration
