Passion for Promarkers – Poppy and Moss

This week’s challenge at Passion for Promarkers is sponsored by the lovely Joanna Sheen, and she will be giving the lucky winner a voucher for £10 to spend in her online shop.

The theme, chosen by Caryn, is to use the colours Poppy and Moss, with an extra twist in that you are to add something tasty to your card mmm…

I’ve used some gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamps, all from their summer collection, on my card.  The colour recipe is shown below the card.  The papers are by K & Co and Melissa Frances.  The swirls are made with an EK Success punch, and the tiny daisies are punched out with a punch by Woodware. The lacy border punch is by Martha Stewart.

Here is the recipe for the colouring on this card:

Skin:  Ivory, Blush and Pastel Pink.

Hair:  Sandstone, Cinnamon and Cocoa.

Dress and Flowers:  Poppy, Moss, Ruby, Lime, Ivory,Vanilla and Cool Aqua.

Boots:  Satin, Sandstone and Ivory.

Bowl of Apples:  Poppy, Ruby, Moss, Ivory, Vanilla and Cornflower.

More Elzybells Cards to Show You

As promised, here are a couple more cards made with the new Elzybells stamps to show you.

I hope you like them! Don’t forget to visit the online shop to see all the new releases today.

Elzybells Release Day!

 

Today sees the launch of Elzybells’ latest ”Pamper Yourself’ stamps.  Aren’t these just perfect for us girlie-girls?!  I have a card to show you below, but again the light isn’t as good as I had hoped, so I will try again a little later.  I will also have another card to show you, using stamps from the same range, and a little surprise candy, so do pop back and visit me later today.

The lotions and potions stamp is from Elzybells’ ‘Rubbadubdub’ clear set, and the gorgeous ‘Bubbles Border’ is also one of the new stamps released today.  Pop along to the online shop where Elizabeth will have the stamps ready for you to purchase.

3D at Tilda and Friends

This week’s challenge at Tilda and Friends is to make your ATC with a 3D element.  Here is my effort, using an ‘oldie’ Tilda from last summer.  I’ve coloured her with Promarkers, and added a touch of glitter to her wings.  I’ve  used foam squares on the back of the image to make Tilda stand out from the background. The backing paper is DCWV, and it’s also glittered, which adds more texture to the card.  I placed a piece of torn pink handmade paper at the side, then added some flowers and alphabet beads for extra dimension.

Do come along to the blog and join us in this fun challenge this week!

Another Sneak Peek from Elzybells!

Welcome to another Elzybells Sneak Peek!  The latest release is all about pampering yourself.  I’m sorry to be a day late in starting the peeks, but I honestly thought that they started today – doh!! I promise that I’ll make up for it in the next two days. The stamps will be released on Wednesday 24th, so it’s not long for all you Elzybells fans to wait.

The stamp that I used is from Elizabeth’s ‘Pamper Yourself’ range, and is coloured with Promarkers.  I’m sorry that the photo isn’t great, but I will try to take another later in the day, which will hopefully be better.

Come back for another sneak later, and don’t forget to visit Elizabeth and the other DT girls to see what they have made to show you.

The Promarkers used to colour the image are:

Here Comes Summer!

The theme at Tilda and Friends this week is ‘Summer Fun’, and on my ATC I’ve chosen to use a sweet Hanglar & Stanglar image of a girl enjoying a picnic.  I used my Promarkers to colour her, and the backing card has been embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, then gently sanded to show off the pattern a little more. I edged the card with a dark pink ink pad to define it a little. The daisy brads are from my stash, and the text was made on the computer. Do take a moment to visit the challenge blog and the other DT members, who have some gorgeous creations to show you. The links are on my sidebar.  Thanks for looking, and for your comments, which I very much appreciate.

Here is the promarker recipe for my colouring:

Tilda and Friends – Open Theme Week
