Mad for Makers new challenge

Good morning everyone I hope you are all feeling re energised after your weekend and are ready for the week ahead.

This fortnight it is my turn to host the challenge over at Mad for Markers and I have to say when I first heard I had to do this I was quite scared as I had never had to come up with a challenge by myself. I ended up deciding to create a sketch…. Now I  remember a very wise lady telling me, the talented Kellie,  once that when you create a sketch you have to look at it and ask yourself OK how would I use that?  If you struggle to come up with possibilities then you know it is no good. I took this advice on board when I created this sketch, being that it is my first sketch ever, and although it is fairly simple I could imagine lots of possibilities when I looked at the sketch.

Here is my card using the sketch:

and here was my sketch:

I have used the following copics for my card today:

Hair - YG24, YG23 & YG20

Top & hat - R59, R46, R35

Jeans - B97, B95 & B93

Shoes - E79, E77 & E72

I am going to enter my card into the following challenges:

Now dont forget for all you copics needs to head over the the store as Sammi has a great range of copics and accessories and some very cute stamps too.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you will come along and play using my sketch. I cant wait to see how everyone is going to use it.

Until next time Bron xox

Hi everyone today I am bringing you my latest creation for this fortnights challenge at Mad for Markers.  

This fortnights challenge has been set by Melissa and she has designed an awesome sketch for us all to play along with. I had so much fun with this sketch as I would not normally do a tag so I suppose you can say it brought me out of my comfort zone. Of course if you want to incorporate the tag into a card or layout you can too.

Anyhow here is my tag using the sketch for you:

I have used the following copics

Hair - E99, E97, E79, Y21 & Y11
Skin - E00, E11, E21 R20 & R11
Jeans - B97, B95, B93 & B32
Top - R85, R83 ^ R81
Headphones and backpack - R32, R20, C9, C7 & C5

and here is the Sketch

I am also going to enter my card into the following challenges:

Anyone for Anya - Polka Dots
Sentimental Sundays - Anything but a card
Tuesday Throwdown - Stripes
Truly Scrumptious - Anything Goes

Mad for Markers - Colour your own Embellishments Challenge

I am so excited as today I get to bring you my first Mad for Markers DT Card! Our challenge for this weeks fortnight is colouring embellishments, easy peesy! I have a huge stash of plain white or cream flowers which I will colour to suit my cards.

So for my card today I have coloured up some of my flowers (the cherry blossom by adding a touch of pink the the edges, the dark pink flower ) and my flourish to match in with the papers.

Now I used my dazzling diamond for this card (to the edges of each layer) but as the weather has been so yucky the photo does not really show this just makes it look like it has sand on it! Trust me in real life it is very blingy, LOL!


A bright colourful card for me but so much fun making it and it kind of made me feel that I was somewhere warm, well one can only dream!
