Daffodils

Passion for Promarkers Challenge

 Its time for another Passion for Promarkers challenge and the theme this week is set by me, and I have chosen fantasy.
When I first chose the challegne I was thinking cute fairy or mermaid, but then I saw this Kenny K image and couldn't resist it, even though I had no idea when i was gonig to use it, and the thought of colouring it was a little scary!!  It took quite a long time to colour her, but i am pleased with the result!!  I simply embossed some kraft cardstock and matted it on to red cardstock, and added the gingham tea dyed ribbon.

Visible Image April Challenge

Its time for April's challenge over at the Visible Image blog.  The theme this month is a really easy one - Get Stamping!  We are also introducing a simple rule - you MUST use rubber stamping - no digi stamps allowed.

I made a tag ...
I coloured the large rose from the Roses set in using my copics, and then cut it out and distressed the edges in vintage photo distres ink. I used spun sugar, tea dye and walnut stain distress inks, and tattered roe and gold glimmer mists to distress the tag, before crating the collage effect using the bronte border, butterfly and gothic corner stamps.  I added some lace, pearls and seam binding and then popped the ose onto 3d pads.

One lucky winner will get a £10.00 voucher to spend on Visible image stamps - how fab is that?!
