I Love Promarkers - Challenge 435 - Paper Nest Dolls

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

Anything Goes

And we are sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls and I've been able to use the cute Gone Fishing digi, coloured with Promarkers and I've managed to use up some oddments of printed papers that I've had in my stash for years!  These are Echo Park, Splash.  I've added some brads also from my stash, handwrote the tag sentiment and added some waxed cord to finish.

Good luck with the challenge!

Quackers

Here is a quick card I've made using Rubber Duckie from Dr Digi which I've coloured with Promarkers and then used offcuts of papers from Echo Park - Splash which I have had printed for a number of years and they have been languishing in my stash, just waiting to be used!

I've added some bakers twine from my stash and a computer generated sentiment.  I'd like to enter the following:

Sundae in Autumn

The heating went on in our house at weekend and although its got a lot colder in recent weeks, there is still time to enjoy a Dr Digi Sundae!

I've used offcuts of Echo Park Be Mine papers that I've had in my stash for ages.  The image has been coloured with Promarkers and I found some half pearls too.

Daring Card Makers Challenge - World Tourism Day

Time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme this week is

World Tourism Day

So make something featuring another country.  I've made this cute card using up scraps of Echo Park Be Mine papers (they really were scraps and I had to be very creative with how I used them!)  I've used Oriental Girl from All Dressed Up Stamps and coloured with Promarkers.

The half pears are all from my stash along with the layered card around the image.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

It's Friday so time for another Colour Crazy Challenge!  The theme as always is

Anything Goes

And the sponsor this week is Kinda Cute.  I've used both images provided (because I couldn't decide which one to use!) and first up is Boy Playing Video Game which I've coloured with a combination of Promarkers and watercolour pencils.  Papers are from a no longer available collection from Funky Hand and the sentiment is a magazine freebie.

And I've used Mermaid Monster, coloured with watercolour pencils and I've used Echo Park splash papers plus waxed coloured cord and buttons from my stash.

The image is from Createful Heart Digis and is a freebie for those who join in with the monthly  Facebook sketch challenge.  I've coloured it up with Promarkers and the papers are all oddments that I found in my stash - Echo Park, Be Mine.

I've had to be really clever to make it look like there are no joins as some of the bits were really quite small.  And I still have some left over for another day!

The heart pearl slider I found in the jam jar of bits n bobs I have on the table (usually because I find something and can't be bothered putting it away!) and the half pearls are from my stash.

Anything Goes

I've used an image that I bought from Etsy some time ago as I liked the vintage theme and coloured it up with Promarkers.  The papers are Echo Park from my stash and went well with the vintage look of the image.  I also found some lovely ribbon in my stash then added the cute cupcake charm again from my stash.

Flower Power

A quick card for a work colleagues Birthday - she likes to travel so I thought that the Birdbrain Hula Chick by From The Heart Stamps would be perfect!  I've coloured the image with Promarkers and used papers from Echo Park - Summerdays.

The flowers are from my stash - the larger 3 are actually recycled from a flower garland and the others I found lurking in the box.

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 152

Another Monday and another From The Heart Stamps sketch challenge with a twist!  I've used Echo Park papers from Summerdays and added a black card border plus two faux gems from my stash.  The image is Spectacular Birdbrain but it's not available in the store as it was part of the fundraising pack Faith released a while ago.

The sketch is below along with the twist - you can use either the sketch or the twist or both but you must use a FTHS - there are freebies in the shop and a new cute one was added not so long ago!  Every entry that is linked up will receive a $1 voucher to spend in the store - save them up to buy a free stamp!  Good luck!

From The Heart Stamps - Sketch 148

Time for a new From The Heart Sketch with a twist challenge!  I've used Love You Mouse and coloured him with Promarkers plus a tiny bit of glitter glue on the petals (you can't really see it but it is there!)

I found the stripy paper in my stash - it was a weird shape but I cut it and it looks just fine layered onto lilac and then deep purple card.  I think it is Echo Park but could be mistaken.

The ribbon is from my stash - recycled from a jumper and the charm is from my rather extensive collection.  The sketch is below along with the twist.

You can use either the sketch or the twist or combine the two together - which ever suits you but please remember that you must use a FTHS stamp!

Really easy and quick to make and they are opened by sliding off the band.

I've used one of the images in the Surprised Birdbrain set, coloured with Promarkers plus watercolour pencils for the background and added glossy accents on the eyes.

Papers are left over scraps in my stash - Echo Park Mr Campy and I've layered them onto black card.  Half pearls also from my stash.
