Passion For Promarkers #11 – Any colours with sketch

Week 11 - sketch

This week (wow – week 11 already!!) our theme has been picked by Michelle. She has created a gorgeous sketch (see above) and she is letting us use ANY COLOURS!!

I have substituted stars for the flowers but have kept exactly to the sketch otherwise. The papers are Stampin Up! as is the sentiment. I cut the stars on the Cricut (once I blew the dust off it!! – poor thing!).

ProMarkers used:

Apple, Cool Aqua, Pumpkin, Raw Sienna, Vanilla, Dusky Pink and Cool Grey2.

Week 11 - sketch plus any colours

Secret Crafter The prize this week has been generously donated by The Secret Crafter6 Promarkers of your choice – fab or wot?!

Am hopefully enjoying some lovely sunshine at the moment up in the Lake District as you read this – am scheduling this on Sunday night (no, I haven’t packed so much as a bean!) . However, from past experience it is more than likely raining! (I guess it not called the Lakes for nothing!).
