This week’s Passion for Promarkers challenge colours have been chosen by Claire, one of our guest designers for October, and they are ‘Poppy’ and ‘Forest Green’. Our sponsors are Yellow Moon, who are generously offering our winner a £10 voucher to spend in their online store.
Here is my card, and I think you’ll agree that the chosen colours are perfect for a Christmas card! I used a digital image from Mo’s Digital Pencil, of whom I’ve become quite a fan recently. The image is, of course, coloured with my Promarkers, with touches of sparkle to add a festive touch. The sentiment stamp is by Stampin’ Up. Everything else is from my stash. The colouring recipe is under the card as usual.
I do hope that you’ll enjoy our latest challenge. Perhaps you’ll use it as an opportunity to make another Christmas card to add to your ever-growing pile!

Passion For Promarkers – A Recipe October 6, 2009

This week’s challenge theme is a recipe - three shapes (not including your basic card shape), two papers and one ribbon, as chosen by the lovely Denise. Our sponsors for this challenge are Letraset, who are donating a five pack of Promarkers to our winner.
Here is my card and, as usual, you’ll find my colouring recipe underneath. I used another image from Charmed Cards and Crafts’ Pixie Chicks 1 collection, which I coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from My Mind’s Eye, cardstock by Stampin’ Up and Bazzill, and the flowers are from my stash. I swear that the ribbon on my card looked like a fetching rusty brown last night, and it was a surprise to find that it was in fact a raspberry colour in the daylight this morning – apologies for the slight clash!
Colouring Recipe:
Skin: Ivory, Blush, Pale Peach.
Clothes: Pale Peach, Coral, Lime, Marsh Green.
Wings: Lime, Lime Zest, Blender, Glitter Glue.
Flower Headdress: Lime, Marsh Green, Raw Sienna, Coral, Spice, Glitter Glue.

It’s the turn of one of our lovely new Guest Designers, Sam, to choose the colours for this week’s challenge at Passion for Promarkers, and she has chosen ‘Apricot and Cool Aqua’. The other compulsory requirement is that you must make your own flowers to decorate your card.
Our sponsors this week are Craft Obsessions, who are giving a fab Martha Stewart ‘Cosmos’ punch to our lucky winner. 
I have used a gorgeous digital download from Charmed Cards and Craft for my image, and I have coloured her with Promarkers in the required colours. The colouring recipe can be found beneath the card. The sentiment is also from the same download package. The papers that I used are by Fancy Pants, and the cardstock is ‘Cameo Coral’ by Stampin’ Up. My flowers were punched from Retro Flower punches by EK Success, in two sizes, and a paper rose was added to the centre of each flower. I added crystal glitter to the fairy’s wings and to the petals of the flowers for a touch of sparkle.
Promarker colouring recipe:
Skin: Ivory, Blush.
Eyes and lips: Cool Aqua, Soft Peach, Apricot.
Hair: Sandstone, Cocoa, Burnt Sienna.
Dress and hair accessories: Cool Aqua, Sky Blue, Soft Peach, Apricot.
Passion for Promarkers – Marine and Emerald September 22, 2009

Emerald and Marine are the colours to use for this week’s challenge at Passion for Promarkers, and there is an added element in that you must make anything but a card! Our sponsors this week are Yellow Moon, who are awarding our winner a gift voucher for £10 to spend in their online shop.
I decided to make a door hanger for my project. The base is made from pre-cut chipboard, which I bought on Ebay. I painted the sides with a dark emerald acrylic paint, and covered the front and back with papers by K & Co. My image, which is a stamp designed by the very talented Elisabeth Bell, was mounted onto a scalloped oval in Bazzill ‘Swiss Dot’ cardstock and fixed to the covered door hanger. I then added the flowers, the swirls, which were also punched out from the same Bazzill card, and the grosgrain ribbon bow. I didn’t have brads in the right shade, so I coloured the gems in the centre of the flowers with the Marine Promarker so that they would match the image and papers. The name was printed on the computer, and mounted onto a scalloped oval punched from a Stampin’ Up punch. Please scroll down to see my Promarker colouring recipe for the image.
Promarker colouring recipe:
Hair: Vanilla, Raw Sienna, Apricot.
Skin: Ivory, Blush, Pastel Pink.
Clothes and Hairband: Emerald, Pine, Marine, Aegean.
Sandals, Basket, Kitty: Sandstone, Cinnamon, Warm Grey 1, 2, 3, Marine.
