PASSION FOR MARKERS, Use More Than One DieUse More Than One Die

 Hello again, my lovely bog chums......its a cold, but sunny morning here in Kent . I hope your day has got off to a bright start. 

It's the turn of Team 2, this week, at 

PASSION FOR MARKERS 

and our theme is 

Use More Than One Die

As far back, as using the chunky green, yellow and red sizzex dies, they have always been a firm favourite, so I very much enjoyed this theme.

Our lovely sponsors are 

For my DT card I am using "Little Flower Girl", which you can find HERE  many thanks to All Dressed Up for providing such a sweet image to use. I am using Promarkers to colour, and these super pretty papers are from The Range. As for the all important dies, well.....I am using a faux stitched square, a faux stitched scalloped border, together with flower dies. I added a small button to complete. 

I do hope that you will play along with us,  and also check out the other fabulous DT cards.

 Hello there my lovely blog chums......I hope that this finds you well. How was your weekend? It was fairly quiet and uneventful here. Sunday evening highlight, at the moment is settling down in front of "Call The Midwife", withFab & Funky a glass of something and the necessary box of tissues!

I was able to get on with a couple of DT cards, and even managed to make an extra card, for my box, .

The black card used here, actually has gold flecks all over it, but that doesn't show too well in my photo. I used a faux stitched square die, together with a sentiment die, and a sweet cat die.

January Blues, with PASSION FOR MARKERS

 Good Morning my lovely blog chums......Happy New Year 🥳🍾

I very much hope that you've had a lovely Festive Season.....our Christmas got off to a wonderful start with our daughter and her boyfriend announcing their engagement. We had a small family get together on Boxing day, but other than that it's been a fairly quiet one....I didn't even bother stopping up to bring in the new year.

Anyway, I want to share my first DT card of 2022.

It was my turn to set the theme, and I have plumped for 

JANUARY BLUES

I hope that you will hop on over to Passion for Markers,  and play along with us......we also have some fabulous DT cards to share.

Our lovely sponsors are 

With a terrific prize for our lucky winner.

For my own DT card I am using an older digi stamp, from LITTLE MISS MUFFET - what a sweetie! I am using Promarkers to colour, with a little white Sakura gelly pen.  I am such a fan of the Sue Wilson slimline dies....I have the faux stitched rectangle set for a while now, and I was delighted to receive a couple of the aperture trio dies, that accompany so well, for Christmas.....I think they will be firm favourites this year! The sentiment is my own creation and it features Zipty Doo font. I thought that a few die cut stars would match his little t-shirt.

ANYTHING GOES, WITH PASSION FOR MARKERS

Hello there my lovely blog chums......I hope that this post finds you keeping well and coping with the business that December brings! I could really,  really use a pause button, at the moment, it's been such a full on month for us, hubby has been experiencing further difficulties with his Stoma, which eventually led him back to hospital - he has kidney stones which may be exacerbating the problem - and we have had to make numerous trips in for all number of scans and blood tests, he had an operation to put stents in, and I think they are going to remove the stones in the new year.........on top of this my daughter and her partner have moved house, I've still had work to go to and have been frantically running round trying to do the Christmas shopping.....unfortunately this has left me massively behind in blogging my DT cards, but I'm going to attempt to catch up!!!

So, I will start with our current challenge at 

PASSION FOR MARKERS

For my own DT make, I am using these adorable sledging Bunnies from LOTV, together with a LOTV sentiment label too. I am using Promarkers to colour,  pairing soft minty green shades with the red. The dotty paper is from a Doodlebug pad, I added faux stitched corners, and a border for a bit of detail.
