Hot Chocolate Gnome - Pink Gem

 Hello  I am sharing a inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop 

I was recently invited to join the inspirational team

I have known about Janets work from way back when we all chatted on Docrafts and it is a pleasure to be working with them.

Please checkout Janets shop she is releasing so many new images it is hard to decide which to use.

Today I am working with Hot Chocolate Gnome

This set comes with a coloured image but I have used the black and white image and sentiment.

I have coloured the image with mainly Promarkers.

My DP is from my stash and is a 12x12 pad I got from the works.

Matted the image and DP with some green card

A few gems for some sparkle.

Janet has a Face Group for her fans if you are on social media and we would love to see you pop in and say hello. Come share your makes with us too.

Janet is always keen to see what her customers make with them

Thanks for popping by and have a lovely day.

i have been to the Trafford Centre today with my Grandson looking for a new dressing gown but allwe could find in his size was Christmas ones. Sorry it is a bit early and what are you supposedto do after Christmas. I did get a nice raincoat has a rubber coating on and a nice warm inside from Boots not somewhere I shop for clothes and we got a lovely this hooded Dinosaur jacket which he was very taken with. A quick stop at the dining hall and then head back to the bus stop. Think he just wanted a ride on the bus. He so loves going on buses. How times change when he gets older it will be can you drive me there Dad I dont want to get a bus.

Well hope you have a lovely weekend.

Passion For Markers - Feed The Birds

 Hello and welcome. Hope you are having a good week.

I am still trying to prevent my dog from jumping up onto chairs and the garden. He isn't a happy bunny. Today he is missing the noise from his best mate Rory but he will be back Thursday to play so maybe a little extra quiet might be a good thing. Oh I have my Covid boaster on Thursday hope it doesn't make me ill did make my arm sore last time a slight temp. Friday boiler service so can't afford to be visiting the vets again with him.

Any way today starts a new challenge at Passion For Markers

we are sponsored by Polkadoodles 

Our theme for this week picked by Lisa is Food & Drink

For my card I have used one of our sponsors images called ‘feeding the birds’)

I coloured my image wit Promarkers & copic added some diecuts sent to to me from a friend many moons ago put away and lost but recently found.

Some fibres from stash and DP is from hobbycraft or the works but purchased last year

some glitter but doesn't show sorry

Sentiment is a very old docrafts stamp from when I started.

Well hope that you can come and play along remember to say what markers you are using and it doesnt have to be a Christmas card. Pop over and check what the girls have made and how Julie has used the same image.
