Passion for Promarkers – Cool Aqua, Sky and Aegean

It’s another colour theme at Passion for Promarkers this week, and the colours you must use are Cool Aqua, Sky and Aegean, a lovely selection of blues, I think you’ll agree.  Our sponsors this week are The Secret Crafter, who are giving away a prize of six Promarkers to one lucky winner!

I’ve been eagerly looking for a chance to used this gorgeous digital stamp, by Mo’s Digital Pencil, for a while now.  The little Geisha looks lovely in the blues, with a touch of pink, doesn’t she?!  The papers are by K & Co and My Mind’s Eye, the sentiment stamp is by Whiff of Joy, and the flower is by Prima.  Scroll down to see which Promarkers I used to colour my little Geisha.

Promarkers used:

Hair:  Ice Grey 5, Umber, Black.
Skin:  Almond, Blush, Pastel Pink.
Kimono and Sandals:  Cool Aqua, Sky, Aegean, Baby Pink, Antique Pink, Cardinal Red, Tan, Caramel, Meadow Green, Apple Green.
Cat:  Ice grey 1, 2, 3, 4.
Bowl:  Burnt Orange, Cardinal Red.

Thanks for taking a peep at my card once again, and for your comments, which I always look forward to reading.

Promarker Bargain!

A  heads up to all the Promarker fans out there.

Debbi has a complete set of brand new Promarkers, in the original 92 colours, plus 8 desktop organisers (each of which holds 12 markers) for sale. She’s looking for £125, which includes postage by special delivery to the UK. This is at least £30 – 40 less than it would be possible to get them anywhere else, so it sounds like a bargain not to be missed!

Debbi has now sold these – sorry to all who were disappointed.

Passion for Promarkers – Pastel Green and Blossom

It’s another gorgeous colour theme at Passion for Promarkers this week.  Our sponsor is Joanna Sheen, who is giving one very lucky winner a gift voucher for £10 to spend in her online shop.  Just imagine how many Promarkers you could add to your stash with that!

I used a very pretty image by The Greetings Farm, called Madelynn, on my card, and the papers are by Colorbok.  As I didn’t have a flower in the right shade, I coloured a very pale pink one with my Blossom Promarker, and added three  small paper roses (from Hobbycrafts) to the centre.  The swirl die-cuts are made with a Whale of a Punch from EK Success. As usual, scroll down to see my colouring recipe.

Promarkers Used:

Skin:  Ivory, Blush, Pastel Pink.
Hair:  Vanilla, Caramel.
Coat and Hat:  Tea Green, Pastel Green, Blossom, Pink Carnation.
Flower, Scarf and Socks:  Blossom, Pink Carnation.
Shoes:  Tea Green, Grey Green.

Thank you for taking a look at my card this week.

Gorjuss Snow

I thought that I would show you another of my recent Gorjuss Girl cards.  This one was made for a challenge on Docrafts, and the theme was ‘Snow’.  As we were well into the new year, I decided to make a snowy birthday card – perfect for a birthday at this time of year! It was my first easel card too – I know, I’m always late in catching on to these new trends, but I get there in the end!  The lovely papers that I used are by Craft Creations, and the image is coloured with Promarkers.

Passion for Promarkers – Girls, Girls, Girls!

We have a fab challenge for all you girlie girls at Passion for Promarkers this week!  The theme is ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’, and it’s a good excuse to go wild, and play with all your lovely pink stash – well, that was my excuse anyway! 

Our sponsors for this challenge are Letraset, who are giving a prize of a set of five Promarkers to our lucky winner.

I think that many of you will agree that it would be hard to get more girlie than the luscious Gorjuss Girls by Sugar Nellie!  I chose this gorgeous little fairy girl for my card and, of course, her dress just had to be pink. As I love to use green with pink,  I couldn’t resist adding the pink and green combo papers by Craftwork Cards to my stash.  Although they are basically Christmas papers, I think they also work well at other times of the year.  Scroll down for my Promarker recipe.

Promarkers used:

Skin: Ivory, Blush, Pastel Pink.

Hair: Chestnut, Umber.

Dress: Pale Pink, Cocktail Pink, Baby Pink.

Wings: Meadow Green, Leaf Green, with Glitter Glue.

Tights: Green and Pink combination as above.

Thanks for dropping by; I always look forward to your visit and any comments you may leave.

For my card, I used a Magnolia stamp, and the papers are by HOTP and Colorbok.  The chocolate card is by SU, and I used my Martha Stewart Doiley punch to add some detail to the layout.  The mini flowers were made with a small cosmos punch, and some flower brads from my stash.

Promarkers used:

Skin: Ivory, Blush, Pale Pink.

Hair: Vanilla, Pastel Yellow, Tan.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the first Passion for Promarkers challenge of 2010!  This week we are following a sketch by Michele, and using any colour and the theme of ‘Love’ or ‘Valentine’s’. 

Our sponsors for this week are Letraset, who have given us a set of five Promarkers for our lucky winner.

Here is Michele’s lovely sketch:

And here is the card that I made with the sketch, not really a Valentine’s card, but a ‘Love’ card for a special friend:

I must apologise for the picture, which isn’t the greatest, but the light was very bad here, and I had to scan my card this time.  The stamp that I used is by Sugar Nellie, and all the papers are by Papermania. The Promarker colours used are:

Skin: Ivory, Blush.

Clothes and hair: Umber, Black, Cool Aqua, Grey Green.

Everything else: Carmine, Ruby, Forest Green, Lime, Black.
