passion for promarkers

This weeks challenge at Passion for promarkers (see side bar) is "anything goes" so the only thing I was thinking about was ..thats our summer gone after 3 days of stunning heat blue skies and eating in the garden today is cold - temp down to 10 degrees and here in the far north "possible snow on the hills"!!!!! so of course I needed to do a Summery card and my new stamp set from Joanna Sheens, Jayne NetleyMayhew "Harvest mouse" filled the bill beautifuly.

I stamped the card with the Poppy stamp, masking some areas to get a variation and coloured with Promarkers in Mustard,Amber, Saffron, Red and Meadow Green. The Harvest Mouse I coloured with Oatmeal,Saffron, Caramel and Meadow Green and cut with a Nestability Scalloped Oval which I mounted on WeRmemory keepers card Silver lining - Vivid which seemed to match the poppy colours so well. I have had the brown mesh in my stash box for ages and I think it looks a bit like an old rustic fence you see round a corn field

Thanks for looking

I should like to enter this card to week 53 challenge at Passion for Promarker

passion for promarkers

The current challenge at Passion for Promarkers (see side bar) is "Strawberries and Cream" . I have made the card a 6x6inch covered in the very last sheet from my K&Co Que Sara Sara which is lovely strawberry shades with touches of green, My image is Sugar nellies "Reflective" to colour her I have used Promarkers in Bright, Lime and Grass green, Red and Cardinal and Cocktail pink and for the hair Tan and Caramel.

I mounted her on Cream card cut using my new Curved Rectangle Nestability dies. I used my Fiskas border punch to cut 2 border strips from the same papers and as I didnt have a matching green paper I coloured white paper with my Bright green promarker before cutting with the same border punch Finally ( if you have read this far) I cut a strawberry from a magazine, mounted on a nestie cut card .

Thank you for looking and do please leave a comment x

challenge card

I made this card to enter Scattyjans Music challenge on MSE the brief was Music in any form

I should also like to enter it into Magical crafts fortnightly challenge (see side bar)

I have used



Music Paper from a Crafthouse Press book which was a christmas present, mounted on silver mirri. I punched hearts on white card mounted on mirri again as a border. The heart is white plastic and has been in my stash box for years I stamped with my new Florish stamps in silver then heat embossed ( very carefully ) in silver Heritage embossing powder to give it the filigree look. The sentiment I printed on the computer and mounted on a nestie oval. in case you cant read it ( its not the best photo, if you click on it it gets bigger)) it says " You are the music of my heart" oh and to complete the musical theme I used the font Vivaldi.

I hope you like it, and thankyou for looking
