Passion...........................

Red hot variety ????? actually its a challenge over at Passion for Promarkers. Its their first one and as lover of promarkers I was really pleased to find it - thanks to Sarah who I met of ILWS and she is one of their design team - don't think I have ever spoken to a designer before so lucky me!!. Check out her blog as I love the way she always includes the colours...

The challenge was a free for all with colours and sketch so plenty of variety to work with!. I used an Anya image kindly sent to me by Tricia with papers by the Craftwork at a bargain price form the Art shop in Stroud at 25p - and that was the actual price and not the usually halved price reported back to any non crafter who asks!!

I coloured both flower, rectangle nestie scallop & ribbon with the Maroon marker to try to match (the ribbon was a fluorescent pink!). Buckle is SU hodgepodge and brad is I think doodlebug. The larger flower is one I cut out from the papers and simply bent around my fingers.

Lots of pricking and faux stitching - I love doing this and think it works especially with the stitching on the papers . I mentioned before I like to decorate the inside of cards so repeated the image on the inside.
and created a simple frame with charm from my stash for any type of sentiment. Just now wonder who I can give this too!!!

Colours used were

Cool aqua - it rolled at the last minute - so much for being arty!! plus

Skin: Ivory,Blush,DustyPink

Boots: cool grey 1/3/4

Hair/Bag: Sandstone/Cinnamon/Cocoa

I have to go and buy some more markers as typical for the next challenges I have one of the colours but not the both..... a trip to Swindon me thinks as there is a shop there that stocks them.

Off to iron uniform.... well actually to get it out, look at it, and decide that yes it will be fine if a out a heavy book on it all night......
