passion for Promarkers

Another hectic week has flown by & time again for another Passion for Promarkers challenge and this week the lovely Ida has provided us with a fab sketch to follow.

I decided to use my WOJ Henry skating mouse that I bought weeks ago and have neglected to use, poor little mite. I stamped him in Black Impress ink onto whisper white card and coloured him in the following Promarkers:

Cinnamon, Cocoa, Umber, Pine, Forest Green, Tea green, Ice Grey 1, Ice grey 5, Cool grey 1, Artic blue, Duck egg, Oatmeal, Tan, Poppy, Lipstick Red & Blender

The paper is Bo Bunny from Hobbycraft, I have inked the edges with SU real red ink, the sentiment is by Elzybells & the fancy border was created with my new EK Success punch that I got from the NEC on Saturday

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Passion for Promarkers

Happy Tuesday to you all, I am sooooo tired this week after our hectic but fun visit to Scotland, we got to see a lot of the family this trip and my MIL and I even managed a craft session at her local craft shop Stampaholics.................back to reality now though and back to work.....still a girl has to earn the pennies to spend at the NEC on Friday and Saturday right?? Woo hoo I am sooooooo excited, let me know if you are gonna be there and I will look out for you.

Anyway onto this weeks Passion for Promarkers challenge & this time we want to see the colours grass & canary on your creations........mmmmm this one got me thinking, i had a look around the digi stamp sites and found this Itty Bitty Bobby Dinosaur costume cutie from Pink cat Studio and thought he was perfect, the sentiment was from the same site and was a freebie.

I coloured Itty Bitty Bobby in the following promarkers:

Grass, meadow green, canary, sunflower, lemon, blush, dusky pink, pastel pink, sandstone & umber.

I cut him out with Small & large oval nesties and made a box sized to fit my label nesties. I was going to put some treats in the box but the postie bought a big box today and I put it on the table on top of my project by accident........oops........its a little on the flat side now!!!!

Anyway have a great week and I hope to see some of you at the NEC

Crafting fun at Stampaholics

As you know I am in Scotland visitings my in-laws & today my mother-in-law and I were booked into a craft class at the fab Stampaholics.

This is one of the cards I made, designed by Siobhan (owner of the shop) I will not be showing you the other as I a managed to make a complete mess of it!!!!

I had to make it with no cutter, just a craft knife and mat................the colour must have drained from my face when I was told that ...LOL. It was pretty easy actually so I have conqured a fear today (I won't be throwing away my cutter tho)

The main image is by Crafty Individuals, the frame is a nestie (which I just had to buy), the sentiment is from an Inkadinkado clear set and the background swirls and snowflakes were created with various wooden stamps that were available for us to play with.

This is not my usual style of card so I really enjoyed doing something a little different, I managed a little bit of shopping at the end of the class but I was being rushed by men to hurry so I had to leave precious stash behind that should now be mine............SOB................still I am going to the NEC next week..........oh I am soooooooooooo excited.

Anyway, my MIL has just purchased the new Magnolia magazine so I am going to curl up on the sofa with it now as I cannot wait until I get hold of mine that Deb from Stampeezee is saving for me.

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Frankie's Monsters

Halloween is nearly upon us, but I will miss all the neighbourhood fun as we will be on our way back from Scotland on the night of Halloween so I have made some monster treat boxes for my usual visitors to hand out beforehand!!!!!

The fab Tutorial is here

I have used everything the same although I did not have the Top note die but I did have a nestie die that is more or less exact so I used that.

Anyway, we are off out to visit family today & stopping my Luca's fab ice cream shop in Musselburgh (Scotland)...........best ice cream ever!!!

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Mask: Plum, Amethyst & Orchid
Kitty: Cool grey 1, 3, 4 & 5
Ears, nose & mouth: Sunkissed pink
