Ok, so I wasn’t a child in the sixties, but Flower Power inspired this entry into the Passion for Promarkers Challenge Week 99. The stamped images were from a set of clear stamps from Woodware, with the border and text drawn freehand. I just love the bright colours, not a palette I normally use!
Passion for Promarkers Challenge Week 99 theme: ‘for a teenager’. This DL sized card is my original design. The black base of the skateboard is wet’n’dry very fine sandpaper adhered to the card with Glossy Accents (a glue stick just didn’t do the job). The wheels and graffiti were drawn freehand, coloured with ProMarkers and given white highlights with white gel pen. The wheels are mounted on foam pads for a bit of depth.
Another card for the weekly Passion for Promarkers challenge – this week the theme is ‘fit for a princess’ [Week 98]. I paid for a digistamp princess from Tiddlyinks as I couldn’t find my ideal princess for free. The castle and the frog are both drawn freehand. The sky and grass background were airbrushed using ProMarkers and Letrajet tool. I’m rather pleased with the result, and it’s going to be sent as a birthday card to our young princess friend 🙂
UPDATE: I was in the top five for the challenge 🙂
This week at Passion for Promarkers, the challenge theme is ‘pre-historic’ [Week #97]. For some reason, once I’d found my image, the need to decoupage it seemed overwhelming! I’m really pleased with the results. I also experimented with colour choice and used only ProMarkers with the middle digit 2 or 3 – this helps keeps the tones complementary. Please let me know what you think.

This week’s challenge over at Passion for Promarkers was to have an all white background with a coloured image. I found it a tough one to conceive, and then even trickier to photograph. Let me know what you think!
This week’s challenge over at Passion for Promarkers is ‘make your own embellishments’ [Week 95]. I’ve used ProMarkers as part of each embellishment as well as on the main image. Hope you like it!
I’ve seen several ways of storing ProMarkers, but few of them seem to be easily portable. With my need to move my ProMarkers from workshop to workshop as well as from craft room to in front of the TV and back again, I decided to make my ProMarker storage portable.
This week’s theme over at Passion for ProMarkers is the theme ‘Yellow & Pink’ [Week #94] – and here’s my submission. The image is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and is available from Kars stockists [Dawn’s Stamps/Nellie Snellen DAWN-003]. Pens used: Skin – Blush/Oatmeal/Apricot; Hair – Gold/Sunflower/Pastel Yellow/Caramel; Dress – Cocktail Pink/Baby Pink/Pale Pink; Berry Red; Flower -Lilac/Orchid; Ice Grey 1.
I’ve been busy this afternoon… I’ve finished this greetings card ready to enter into this week’s Passion for Promarkers Challenge (#93, ‘Bugs’). The butterfly [generic] is mounted onto a background [Personal Impressions Flower and Butterfly Background, PIRM002]. Both have been coloured with ProMarkers, and the flowers on the background have been decoupaged for depth. Paper Artsy Grunge Flower die used to construct the flower with Leone-Em punched shapes for the centre. Stamens were coloured with Gold ProMarker.
UPDATE: I was in the top five for the challenge 🙂
I’ve done some more ProMarker colouring, and thought I’d post the steps and pens used. Let me know what you think and if you’d like any more. The image is a stamp from Circa Designs, VA-IM-11 1930s lady in frame (big), available from their website which is listed on the suppliers page. Apologies for the photo colouring – I’ll find my tripod and decent lighting next time.
