Passion for Promarkers Challenge

I have been blog hopping this week and came across Passion for Promarkers. I saw that their challenge this week was to use shades of Lilac, and because these are my favourite colours I decided to join in the fun. The brief was to use at least two colours of lilac, fortunately I already had Amethyst & Lavender.

My background paper is from Crafty Individuals, their Book 1 Papers which I love. The image is Willow with Basket from Whiff of Joy and is one of my favourite stamps. The image was stamped onto Bristol Board using Versafine Onyx Black prior to using my Promarkers to colour. I used Dusty Concord Distress Ink around the image to take away some of the white. The flower and butterfly brad came from my stash, as did the little envelope - For You.

This is my first attempt for Promarkers challenge and I am really pleased with the way my card turned out.

TIO 10 'Say it with Flowers'

Memo to self - don't leave this challenge until the last minute.

Well here it is, my TIO Challenge 10 for Frankie

This lovely lady sets a challenge every Wednesday so do pop over to her Blog and see her beautiful works of art.

For my entry this week is used a tag, obviously, distressed it using Weathered Wood, Broken China & Faded Jeans inks from Tim Holtz. I stamped using Versafine Majestic Blue onto a stamp from Elusive Images - A thing of Beauty set.

Finishing touches were a little glitter and Organza ribbon.

Hope Frankie likes my Tag.

More Stamping

Another of my favourite PSX Stamps, A Bunch of Sweet Peas' . The image was stamped with Versafine Onyx, I love this ink pad, then coloured using my Watercolour Pencils. I added a deckle edge border prior to mounting on Lilac card which had been through my Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. In turn this was attached to my card blank which I had covered in paper from Raspberry Road Designs. I think it has something missing to give a finishing touch, however, all the flowers I have are too large, so I decided to leave it as it was. Your comments are appreciated.

Get Stamping Year

As this is the year to 'get stamping again' I sorted through all of my stamps and came across this stamp from PSX entitled 'Morning Glory'

I stamped onto a cream background using Versafine Onyx then coloured the image using a mixture of Permapaque & Lrya Crayons. I didn't think the cream background went well, so I distressed the edges first using Adirondack Denim then decided to carefully add more distressing over the entire card. I added a little sparkle using my Quickie Glue Pen and fine glitter. I don't think this will show up as I scanned my card instead of taking a photo.

The image was mounted onto Silver Mirri before attaching to a 5" x 5" card blank which I had covered with free downloaded paper, courtesy of Jak
