Passion for Promarkers # – Burnt Umber and Marsh Green

DOUBLE DT DAY – PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY SPOONFUL OF SUGAR POST.

Week 25 - burnt umber and marsh green

Our challenge this week at Passion For Promarkers is to use the colours Burnt Umber and Marsh Green.  I have to admit I was a little perturbed at first but once I found the paper (from the Earth Love Mini Deck by Cosmo Cricket available at Bunny Zoe’s Crafts) I was much happier.  I adore this stamp by Whiff of Joy – Elisabeth Bell draws hair so beautifully. 

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and they are offering the winner a pack of 5 ProMarkers – yay!

Hope to see you over at the blog – the DT creations this week (as always) are fantastic.  We also have the talented Barbara as our GDT so be sure to check it all out.

Hugs,

A Spoonful of Sugar #78 – Baby’s First Christmas

Challenge 78 - baby's first Christmas

Challenge 78 - baby's first Christmas single

We’re asking to see cards and projects for a baby or pre-schooler’s Christmas this week over at ASOS.  This was a handy challenge for me as it got me round to making a couple of wee cards for my new nephews both born in the last few months.  I love the latest release from Pink Petticoat – aren’t these the cutest little penguins?  I added the text to the image in Photoshop and then coloured the image very simply and quickly with PMs.  I have also been playing with my latest MS icicle border punch and white flower soft.  Been seeing this a lot on cards so had to get some – it’s a nice alternative to stickles or puffy stuff which is what I would usually use.

Our sponsor this week is our fabulous Nikki and she is offering a new Flapper Anya Greeting Farm stamp to the lucky winner.

Hope to see you over at the blog.

Cupcake Crafts # – Digital Images

Challenge 66 - Digital Images

Cupcake Crafts are very lucky this week to be sponsored by Sketching Stamper for our digital images challenge.  As you may know I do love me digis!  The DT were all asked to choose an image to work with and I decided to go with this gorgeous “Partridge in a Pear Tree” design.  It was so easy to colour and I think I’ll be making a few more cards with this for Christmas.  Hope you can pop along to the blog and join in the challenge too.  The prize is to choose 6 digital images and there are so many gorgeous ones to choose from.  Check out the other DT blogs too, they’ve made some amazing creations for you this week.

Hugs,
