I Love Promarkers - Challenge 427 - Bugaboo

It's Wednesday so time for a new I ❤ Promarkers challenge!  The theme this fortnight is

Food

And we are sponsored by Bugaboo.  I've used You're One In A Melon digi and used Promarkers to colour.  I've kept it really clean and simple using a black fineliner pen to accent the edges of the card and image and layering the image onto some red card from my stash.  To finish off I've added a gingham red bow and a white button.

Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Inspirational Board

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week as it is the first Friday of the month is an Inspiration board

I've gone for the leaves, outdoors, the autumn theme, leaf pattern, the fruit shape represented by the button and the crinkliness of leaves in the paper ribbon I've used!  The image is a sadly retired Jellypark one which I've coloured with Promarkers and then used some papers I found in my stash.  I've handwritten the tag and used some paper ribbon for the bow and strip behind the image.  Button also from my stash

Good luck with the challenge!

It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Ikes Art and I've used one of the ducks from the Dippy Duckz set and coloured with Promarkers.  I printed the sentiment underneath the image and have found various bits of pre printed papers in my stash to use up - some of the bits were really quite small but I'm determined to use up all the papers I have.  Which will take some time as I have loads!

Buttons and embroidery thread are from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!
