Purples and Blues @ I ❤️ ProMarkers

Good Morning Frienda, Followers and other Crafters out there.
Thanks for stopping by at my little place.
Today I have yet another colourful card to show you.
I made this one for the new challenge over at


The theme for this weeks challenge is
Purples and Blues 

Our sponsor for this challenge is
Opal Crafts

Again I’ve used colours that I normally don’t use - Blue Hair! I don’t think I have ever tried it before!
But it was fun, actually great fun, to try new combinations and to use the brighter and the darker colours of my markers.
(Colourlist further down in the post).
The DPs are from Prima and Making Memories, bought years ago, but I haven’t find the right use for the untill now (I love to find «forgotten treasures»).
To decorate the card I used some seambindingribbon, a little pice of light blue lace, purple and blue halfpearls, two charms and a pin (homemade).
And here it is:




Promarkers and TriaMarkers used to colour the image:
Ivory, Dusky Pink, Blush, Tan
Amethyst, Orchid, Lavender
Powder Blue Arctic Blue
China Blue, Bluebell
NG07, NG03

Hello again.
I’m here to show my newest card, and hopefully inspire you to join this weeks challenge over at
I ❤️ ProMarkers

This weeks challenge has the theme
Men At Work

and our sponsor for this challenge is
And their prize is Prize is a $15 voucher.

As I work with a lot of firemen I had to make a firemans card for this challenge, and isn’t the image Adorable Fireman just that; Adorable?
The DPs have been laying around for years - at least 6 - 8 years! - so I guess it’s about time I used them. 
The decoration is quite simple on my card, i simply tied on a ribbonbow and let the ends curl down in rather long ends just to make an illusion of the fire hose. To the bow I attached a charm with a birthdaygreeting.
Around the image I sprinkled on a little Frantage Shabby Blue and Shabby White. The waterdrops running from the fire hose are glittered with Glitterstickles Baby Blue.
The stamped greeting inside the card is from Papirdesign.

New Beginnings @ I ❤️ ProMarkers


This weeks theme is
New Beginnings 

This challenge is sponsored by
Eureka! Stamps

I have used Baby Balloon for my card. A list of colours I used is further down in the post.
I used a dies from Spellbinders to cut out the image. On the edges I put on some Shabby Blue Frantage,
DPs are from My Minds Eye and DCWV. I used Bazzills Kraft Cardstock for the base and backing panels.  Both paper- and cardstockedges are inked with DistressInk WalnutStain.
The cardfront is built up in layers, 9 (!) layers actually, so the card is quite heavy.
T decorate it I only used a little piece of blue seambindingribbon and a circleshaped textstamp from Kort & Godt.



Inside the card: Bazzill light blue and Kraft cardstock. On the light blue cardstock I used a corner punch from Martha Stewart. On the heartshaped diecut (I do not know which brand this die is…), I used one of the first textstamps I bought when I started to make cards… 


Pro- and TriaMarkers used to colour the image:
Skin: Ivory, Dusky Pink, Tan, Blush, Sunkissed Pink
Diaper («balloon»): Powder Blue, Blender
Safety Pins and Baby rattle: C917
Rattle handle: Sandstone
