Promarker night!

I had a play with my promarkers last night and did a couple of challenges.
The first challenge was the Sunday Sketch and Stamp layout, and Passion for Promarkers challenge. This week you need to use Prussian and Pumpkin, with a halloween theme. Not two colours I use much ... and not a theme I make cards for so here goes ...

I added a bit of spice to the pumpkin on Lulu's hair and broom stick, and coloured the hat using warm greys and black. I used my spider's web embossing folder for the background and rubbed some black distress ink over the embossing. I cut a circle and rubbed black ink over it to make it look a bit like the moon.

Charisma Cardz challenge this week is a colour challenge, pink, lemon and green.
I love my little pixies, they do look a bit like my little girls when they are trying to be good!! I coloured them in promarkers and copics and the cut them out and stickled their wings. I coloured the mulberry flowers in with promarkers. I kept the layout simple as the papers are a bit on the busy side!

Do remember that Letraset are bringing out 56 new colours ... already pre-ordered some (can't afford all of them in one go :() from the Secret Crafter.

Finally I have been given this award from Val over at the Crafty Pad - thank you so much.

I'll be back later with who I am going to pass it onto - got to go as I've got children to entertain ... and a stinking cold:(!
