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.

Good morning from a nice bright North West England lets hope it stays that way.

Today would have been my Sisters 51st birthday so i am hoping she is having a good day with the angels.

Back to my post today is the start of a new challenge at Passion For Promarkers and we have a nice easy one.

COLOUR IT

so that means pretty much anything goes just make sure you colour something with the correct pens and please state on your post as we have had a few that hasnt mentioned and would hate to have to discount them in the draw.

This weeks challenge is sponsored by 

Crafty Sentiments Designs

so now let me share my card with you using day dreaming'

I coloured my image with Promarkers and used some Saddle back Ribbon.

My backing is actually a stencil from FolkArt sent to me by a good friend(thanks Janette)

I used distressed inks in  3 colours and the blue is a promarker

I then stenciled over the corners with Brown ink through some sequin waste.

A gem gems and Chip Board letters to finish off.

I hoping this will kick start me back into Crafting as i am struggling still after this bug

Off to get ready another Doctors appointment today
