Love Gnomes

 Hi everyone,

Our new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of 'Love and Romance'. We are sponsored by Polkadoodles for this challenge and here is my card using Love Gnomes:

I coloured these guys using a mix of Promarkers, Flex markers and Aqua markers before fussy cutting the image. I then simply added to a red card blank, added some heart diamantes and a peel-off sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Spring time flowers

 Hello there,

We have a new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers, where you can now use any type of colouring medium on your images. The optional theme is Easter/Spring.

Here is my card using a wonderful image from Last Minute Manda.

I coloured the image using watercolour pencils this time and then fussy cut it out. I found a floral patterned paper in my scraps, along with a plain blue and used these for the background, layering the image over the top. To finish I added a peel-off sentiment.

I coloured the squirrel using my promarkers and then fussy cut it. I used peel-offs to add the musical element to the card., and the sentiment also.
