Time for a new I Love Promarkers challenge and the theme this fortnight is

Ribbons or Bows

We are sponsored by Ikes Art and I've used Rabbit #1, coloured with Promarkers and then fussy cut out and layered onto the papers I found in my stash (trying to use up what I have!) and on a die cut shape for extra depth.


The ribbon I bought from Hobbycraft a while ago and I've added a button from my stash and bakers twine to finish it off.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Hmmmm Cuppa!

First thing I do after getting out of bed is making a cuppa.  I've done really well and cut down from 2 sugars to just half in a few months but still enjoy my cuppa!  The image is from Dr Digi and coloured with Promarkers.


I found a red card blank in my stash so added the image onto it with foam pads plus some offcuts of card to make the layered banner.

Happy Birthday to Ewe

As an attempt to use up some of the printed papers I found in my stash, I've combined this word book 'Dad' with Flossy from Dr Digi - must have printed the word book around 6 or 7 years ago and just never made it into anything - the pages open like a book.  Flossy has been coloured with Promarkers and I've used a combination of X Cut (stars and best wishes) dies and Cuttlebug (other words).

Daring Card Makers - October Elemental Inspiration

It's Friday so time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme, as it is the first Friday of the month, its a Elemental Inspirational challenge.

You need to use at least 3 of the elements - colour counts as one choice.


I've used the colours, plus the pattern (top row third from left), leaves, recycling (the bottle) and text.


The aqua cardstock was a card blank that I cut down and I used a PaperAtsy oak leaf die to cut out of an old Graze box which I've added some waxed cord to tie them together/  I've used the offcuts of the cardblank as a scalloped pattern with offcuts of a printed paper pad underneath.

The gold dew drops are from my stash and the sentiment is an X Cut die, cut from a scrap of chocolate brown card.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:
