Passion for Promarkers DT - Clean and Simple.

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a good week so far. Sorry I am a little bit late with my Passion for Promarkers DT post today. I thought I had scheduled it but it was not even written up yet. We have a great theme for you this week. Our theme this week is 'Clean and Simple' and the DT have some great cards to share with you.

I have kept my card very simple using no backing papers and just sewing my image panel onto a rectangle of red card. The very cute reindeers are from Stamposaurus and were so much fun to colour in with my Promarkers. I am thinking of having this design for my Christmas cards this year. I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. We have a fab sponsor as usual.
Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 to spend in her online store. Don’t forget there is free p&p when you spend over £9.00 and super fast delivery as standard!

Have a lovely Tuesday!

Cute as a button!

One last card for today, I was browsing my blogger dashboard and came across the lovely sketch by Hazel
for the Moving Along with the times challenge blog.
The theme is 'Cute as a button' and has to feature at least one button.

I used some more papers from my Clare Curd Signature range paper stack.
The backing paper has some buttons on it and I used a button I found in a Charity shop. I love that button! It is a lovely shape and colour and I have 4 more still left to use :-)
The sketch by Hazel was great but I had to use a circle instead of an oval for my image which is by Stamposaurus and is just the cutest! I have ordered the Oval Nestabilities from the States, can't wait for them to arrive!
I received my order of Really Useful boxes today so I hope that eventually I will become organised at my Craft desk. Am off to have a sleep now, am still at home, my tests at the hospital showed I have Diverticular disease and I still have some persistent pain although it is a lot better, the worst thing is how tired I feel and keep having to put my head down for a nap but I feel I am improving every day.

Sunday morning Stamping

I woke up very early today so had a little play with my stamps. I made some card blanks using the largest Nestabilities circle and scalloped circles. I then layered up some more circles and stamped the footballer image and the Geisha image. The Geisha is from a small Woodware set I got yesterday at Ashridge Farm Craft Shop.


I paper pieced the geisha using Dovecraft papers and coloured her using Sakura pens. I used a black glaze for her hair.
As a final treat to myself I made this litle ATC to add to my collection. I am trying to make as many as possible to take with me to Alexandra Palace for the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show in September. I had this image left over from practising so thought it would be ideal to turn into an ATC!
Off to do some reading up on Wallpapering techniques now before we start the Living Room wall. Hopefully it will go ok....how hard can it be? Surely is just Papercrafting on a larger scale :-)

Enjoy your Sunday!

A few moments to make a card.....

We finished the second coat of emulsion on the living room walls this morning and got ready to go to Reading. As we were leaving the Postman delivered my Stamposaurus stamps I ordered from Create and Craft!


When we got home we finished the woodwork, all that is left to do now is wallpaper one wall.

I decided to try out the stamps this evening with this quick card. The spotty paper is some wrapping paper I bought from a lovely gift shop in Wokingham. I love spotty or stripy paper! I coloured the image with Letraset promarkers and Sakura pens.

Am looking forward to finishing the decorating tomorrow and having a day off Monday!

I hope you enjoy your Bank Holiday Weekend :-)
