Passion For ProMarkers #52 – Fantasy / Mythology

Well, we have reached it – week 52  of the Passion for ProMarkers challenges.  Wow – a whole year of challenges under our belt, what an achievement!  Next week we have a fabulous 1st anniversary celebration going on and some BIG news on the blog so make sure you’re there for that. In the meantime the theme for this week has been chosen by Tracy – one of the first craft bloggers I ever found and fell in love with – and is FANTASY or Mythology.  I immediately reached for my favourite digi image of all time – the Unicorn from the Greeting Farm.  I love this image and I’ve used it over and over again.  I love her because literally ANYTHING goes in terms of colour.

Our sponsors this week are Sugar Nellie so make sure you join in and if you’re looking for inspiration just go and check out my fellow teamis blogs.

Beautiful Blooms

Morning all.  It’s such a sunny day here so thought I’d pop on and share this card I made last week.  It had originally been meant for the Passion For ProMarkers DT (Strawberries and Cream) but my interpretation was “loose” to say the lease so it was back to the drawing board on that one!!  I have used one of my new PTI sets, Beautiful Blooms and coloured it with promarkers.  The leaves are from Turning a New Leaf and the sentiment is from Everyday Classics.  As this card is being sent to a lovely friend of mine in Ireland I thought it would qualify for the current challenge at Passion for Papertrey which is “Friends”.

Right , better get off this computer and out in the sunshine.  Have to make the most of it while we can eh?

I {HEART} Argyle.

Oooooh, I finally got my PTI April release goodies!!  I met up with a gorgeous (and very teeny tiny) blogging friend Taheera yesterday and she handed me my latest haul (we did a shared order together).

The argyle pattern was made using the BEST STAMP SET EVER INVENTED, A Little Argyle – can I just say I completely {heart} this set.  I stamped the dotted argyle outline in Raspberry Fizz then used the large single diamond and stamped over in Hibiscus Burst.  I then took the little diamond and stamped again in Raspberry Fizz and lastly with Aqua Mist.  It will take a bit of practice but I am made up with my first attempt.  Now what about those cars??  HOW cute are they?  I die cut the car first then stamped the outline in Smokey Shado and then the solid in-fill in R Fizz and A Mist.  A bit of bling here and there and of course some RF satin ribbon and it’s done. 
Right, well after playing all evening with my goodies I now have a kitchen full of dirty dishes still waiting to get put away.  They won’t clean themselves as they say!

Night, night.
