Happy Easter from the PFP Challenge Blog

Hi folks 

It's new challenge day over at PFP HQ with a fab theme, Easter, of course, chosen by our lovely Sue.  It's going to be a very different kind of Easter this year but we can all have a virtual Easter with lots of lovely cards and chocolate?

For my card, I've used this gorgeous stamp from Stamping Bella- fell in love with it at the Farnborough show back in February - seems like another life now. 

The papers are from Fancy Pants, I think, and I've just let the image and the papers do the talking - no dies on this card today.

I also made a list of my Promarker choices for the main yellow and blue colours as below:

Yellows - Sleigh Bells, Gold, Mustard, Daffodil Bloom

Blues - Aegean, Cyan, Duck Egg, Cool Aqua, 

Don't forget to check out the rest of Team One's  super makes here, and then come and play along.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Cowling & Wilcox and they are offering one lucky winner a 3 pack of Neon Markers and I have added a Winsor & Newton superior bleedproof marker paper pad to the prize. 

Hugs, Juliexx

Passion for Promarkers Make It Manly!!

Our new challenge starting today over at Passion for Promarkers is all about the men, not a bad shout seeing as it's Father's Day here in the UK this coming Sunday.

I've used this cute image from our sponsor, Lacy Sunshine, and he's called Lil Lazy Gnome.

I teamed him up with some paper from a Fancy Pants pad called Park Bench and the sentiment comes from a Pebbles pad called Spring Fling.  

I cut the little circles out from the paper with a punch and then shaped them to look like card candi!

I didn't think I needed much else and always think I can't embellish a male card too much, so quite like the end result.

As I said, we're being sponsored by Lacy Sunshine who is offering the lucky winner three digi images of their choice!!



My teamies have made some wonderful cards for this week's challenge - check them out here and then come and join in !!

Have a great day!

PFP and a fab sketch

Really running behind today, sorry!  This is my card for our new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers and we have a brilliant sketch for you this week, designed by our very own Lou!

I've wanted to use this Mo Manning image, After The Fall, for ages as I just love Humpty Dumpty!!  Lucky for me, he fitted into Lou's sketch perfectly!  Before the Fall is also available here!

I decided that he was a duck egg which fitted the colours of my chosen papers by Fancy Pants perfectly!  I've also used some wonderful dies from Marianne Designs to help Humpty get better, as follows:

Plasters from Hospital set - LR0362 - of course they had to blue for Humpty!

Gladstone Bag from Doctors set - LR0363 - My tip is to use these with white core card, so that you can sand the die cuts to see the definition of the dies.

Bricks - DF3403 - Die and embossing folder set

Get Well Soon Die - CR1318

Heart in corner - from Project NL Blue and Grey set.

The ric rac and brad is from stash

We are very lucky to have 2 generous sponsors this week.  Firstly we have DigiStamp Boutique who are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in the online store.

Our second sponsor is Letraset who are offering one lucky winner a Promarker Collectors set (6 pack) in pastel tones. 

 

Don't forget to pop over to the PFP Challenge blog and leave some love on the gorgeous makes of my teamies.

Right, gardening and housework it is now:(
