Passion for promarkers - Happy Birthday

Good morning a day late with my post for Passion For promarkers I got my days mixed up so massive apology to my team mates.

Well this weeks challenge is sponsored by Dr Dig House of Stamps.

I do love these images so different from the cute images great for those male cards too.

Our theme for this weeks challenge has been picked by Nic

Birthdays

Well I have lots of Spring birthdays and loads of male ones too. But us girlies dont always like lots of flowers and girlie images from time to time.

So here is a card which i am sure would be ok for either sex

I have used Pierre the postie from our sponsor

Coloured with promarkers a must for our challenge

Some printed card from stash 

Kraft card run through with a cuttlebug embossing folder then had some distressed ink rubbed over to highlight the wording

Crafty sentiment fence die

some twine and a Happy Birthday.

I went with the Kraft card as it reminded me of the Brown paper on parcels.

Well head on over and checkout the lovely cards the girls have made and what a fab selection of styles.

Thanks for popping by off to the garage with my card as now my  exhaust has gone bang and think it is the back box as i had the front done 12 months ago.

Anything Goes with Some Odd Girl at Crafty Catz

Good morning and wow another week has disappeared but at least we are getting more day light always nicer and easier to Craft with.

This week at Crafty catz we have a brand new sponsor

and wow was the team excited to be allowed to pick an image each to work with.

Not only that but the have given a discount code for the week for anyone entering our challenge. Now you really do want to enter with one of their images apart from there being soo many fabulous designs. If you are the lucky winner and you have used one of their images your prize will double. How great is that. can i enter lol.

So now you have the details of our sponsor and before you head over and grab that code let me share my card with you. The team was set our ususal twist with is optional by our host Janette - Keep It Simple.

So the image i picked was Hipster Phototgraphy Cat.

Coloured with promarkers and pencils and then fussy cut.

As It was to keep it simple I didnt want to add lots of layers so found this Photo Slide die in my box which I thought would be a nice background to place the image.

Stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment in the corner and added some small gems scattered round for that touch of bling.

This is not my normal and how you CAS people make it looks so easy I dont know. This sure was a challenge but I did enjoy colouring my Cat and liked how it turned out. 

What do you think Hope the sponsor likes.
