Passion for ProMarkers - week 45 challenge

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

The theme of this weeks challenge was to ‘use 2 images on your project'. The two images I used were Marshmallow the rabbit and the second was his toolbox.

The stamps I used are by Daisy & Dandelion and the set is called Marshmallow does DIY! Both images were stamped with a Memento ink pad and coloured in with ProMarkers. The rabbit stamped image and background panel were cut out using Nestabilities. The toolbox was attached on top of the rabbit image area.



On a card blank I stamped around the edge screw heads and screws with grey ink. These are also from the same stamp set. I chose to used grey and sliver paper for the background panels. I stamped screw heads and screws separately and these were also coloured in with ProMarkers. I stuck these with a glue pen along the sides. The greeting is by Craftwork Cards.

Congratulations

This is a Wedding card I've made for my friends who are getting married tomorrow.

The scalloped card blank is my Craftwork Cards. I used Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink pad to stamped the card blank with a heart swirl stamp by Dimension Fourth. I stamped with design all over the front and back of the card.



I stamped and then heat embossed, with gold embossing powder, the greeting. I traced the swirls from the heart stamp around the edge of the greeting. I used a gold Sakura pen for these swirls. The greeting was mounted on a rectangle of gold paper. I cut the gold paper slightly longer so I had room for the bow.



I attached a strip of ribbon around the gold rectangle with double sided tape. I stamped the hearts designs again with the Brilliance ink pad onto white shrink plastic. Once they were dry, which took awhile, I cut out the heart shape and punched a hole at the top with a screw punch. I shrunk the hearts using a heat gun. These were sown onto the ribbon with gold thread. I tied a large bow with the same ribbon and attached it with a little PVA glue and double sided tape.

This weeks challenge was ‘springtime creations but you must include an animal’. For my card I used one of the new Penny Black slapstick stamps. The stamp is called Garden Visit. It's such a cute image. It was stamped with Memento ink pad and coloured in with ProMarkers.

I used Nestabilities labels eight to cut the shape from a card blank. I used the same nestie to cut out the stamped image which I attached inside the card.



I added stitching with a white Sakura pen. To keep with the Spring theme I added white and yellow flowers. The flowers were cut with a Cuttlebug dye. I added Glossy Accents to the snail shell. The greeting is by Craftwork Cards.

Classical instruments

This is a card I made with Classical Instruments stamp set by The Stamp Man www.thestampman.co.uk

I chose a gold and dark brown colour scheme as I felt the swirly design of the stamps worked well with a metallic finish.



The main image of the guitar was stamped with clear VersaMark ink pad and them heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I stamped the image on a large piece of brown card. I cut out a the guitar image from the centre of the card. The piece that was left I used for the frame background panel.



I used the top part of the guitar stamp for the swirl pattern which I stamped around the edge of the frame and guitar image. I stuck gold paper on the front of a card blank with double sided tape. I layered up the card design with the frame, brown card strips, gold paper and the guitar image.



The card with finished with a stamped greeting. The frame I used for the greeting is also part of the Classical Instrument stamp set. The birthday greeting is from Butterfly Beauties stamp set which is also by The Stamp Man.

Patchwork Tilda

This is the card I'm entering into DoCrafts website Tilda Challenge. The theme of this weeks challenge is patchwork.

I used my new 'Tilda with bike' stamp for this card. She was stamped with Memento ink pad and coloured in with ProMarkers. I added a light green and blue background for grass and sky. This was coloured in with colour pencils. I added Glossy Accent to the bunch of flowers and her hair bands to finish. She was mounted on a cream backing paper. When I cut cream background out I made sure the height of the stamped image was in proportion with the width. This made the square patchwork easier to make work. The height was three 35mm squares and the width two 35mm squares.



For the background I cut out 35mm squares of various patterned papers. The paper are mostly from Forever Friends, Stampin'Up and Laura Ashley. I drew a 35mm square grid on the white card base. I them stuck double sided tape along the lines. This made attaching the patchwork a lot quicker than sticking tape onto each square. Once all the squares were attached I drew stitching with a Letraset black fine liner. To finish I added a pink bow and a greeting by Craftwork Cards.

Passion for ProMarkers - week 43 challenge

This is my card I'm entering into this weeks Passion for ProMarkers challenge. The challenge this week was to follow a sketch published on http://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/

The stamp I chose to use was Spring is Back by Sarah Kay. She was stamped with Memento ink pads and coloured in with ProMarkers. I added highlights with gold and clear Sakura pens. I enjoyed using Sarah Kay's Rose Garden stamp so much I decided I 'needed' another stamp from the range.



The mains colours I used for the stamped image were pinks and greens, so I kept to these colours for the background papers too. The yellow checked paper is by DCWV. The pink spot and flower paper are by Laura Ashley and green by Bloom and Grow. I mounted all these on green background panels.

I used a Martha Stewart flower punch for the cream flower. I attached this with a pink flower brad. I finished the card by adding green brads, a pink ribbon and a greeting.
