Passion for ProMarkers - week 46 challenge

This is my card for this weeks Passion for ProMarkers challenge. http://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/

This theme of the challenge is 'The Young Ones', so it was a card for the young ones in iur lives. My card is for a little girl so I've kept the colours soft and girly.

The stamp I used is called Lazy Ellie by Stamposaurus, www.stamposaurus.co.uk. It was stamped with Memento ink and coloured in, of course, with ProMarkers. I added Glossy Accents to the daisy centre and the ladybird and Stickles to the leaf centres and heart. I cut the stamped image and background frame out with Nestabilities. The white flower outline was cut out using a Cuttlebug die.



I chose lilac as my main colour so I used this for the main background panel. The spotty background and the strip are Whitewashed Core'dinations papers. The spotty panel was created with the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug embossing folder. After embossing I lightly sanded the paper. The strip was torn from the sheet to expose the coloured core colour.

To finish I added an oval greeting by Craftwork Cards, ribbon and brads.

Tractor birthday card

This is an easel card I've made using one of my new stamps. The stamp is called Tractor by Stamposaurus, www.stamposaurus.co.uk

I usually make square cards but I thought for a change I'd make an easel card. I made the card base by cutting an A4 piece of card in half longways. One half I scored and folded in half to form a card. I then scored and folded one of the half panels of the card in half again. The other half from the original A4 piece I cut in half to get an A6 piece. I then attached this A6 piece to the bottom part of the panel of the card. To make sure the card stood up I attached, with small foam pads, a row of Craftwork Card's silver card candy.

The Tractor stamp was stamped with Memento ink pad and coloured in with ProMarkers. I stamped the image again. I coloured and cut out the tractors wheels and the farmers hat. I added these to the original stamped image with foam pads. I added Glossy Accents to the wheels. The stamped image and a frame were cut out using Nestabilities.



I used mostly green shades for my card. I chose to use a green spotty paper for the background. The patterned strips were cut using Fiskers bat wing scissors. The oval birthday greeting is by Craftwork Cards.
