Behind every woman...

My entry for this week's Passion for Promarkers and Sketch and Stash Challenges.

Passion for Promarkers: The criteria for this week is to have green as the main colour. I don't have many green embellishments in my stash, so I've used lots of green promarker shades, green inks and some sage backing paper, downloaded from Pink Petticoat.

Sketch and Stash: From my stash, I've used the 'Willow with hot chocolate' stamp for the main image, promarkers, gold mirri card and inks. All other stamps (quotation, cafetieres and cups) are from one of my new Flippin' Women stamp sets.

Penguin cards

I've made these two card using downloadable images and papers from Pink Petticoat. The first card uses the template from this week's Moving Along With the Times blog.

Birthday Card

I've made this card using the template from this week's 'Moving Along with the

Times' challenge blog. The theme this week is Animals.

I came across these chipboard pieces in my stash. They came free with a magazine a few months ago, along with the papers.

Uncle's Birthday Card

I've used the template from this week's Friday Sketchers challenge to make this birthday card for my uncle.

I was looking through my grandparent's photo album and found this one of him as a very cheeky little boy. I've printed another copy, and a photo of my dad from the same day, to give him in a double frame as his birthday present next month.

I've used the Linen card stack again and distressed the edges using 'brushed cordroy' ink.

Scrapbook pages

I love this picture of James - taken last August when he was 7 months old. I've used the 'Linen' papers, lace and flowers from the blue capsule collection.

I don't know if this is too busy or not. The picture was taken at London Zoo last summer and the journaling reads:

1st word = 'daddy', 2nd word = 'monkey', 3rd word = 'mummy'

Says all you need to know about his priorities really!

Wedding Anniversary Card

I've made this card for my husband, for our 8th wedding anniversary in a fortnight. It's also my entry for this week's 'Friday Sketchers' challenge.

The papers are from Forever Friends (valentines?) and I've used the stamp from Papermania's 'Relations' pack. I've used red ribbons and gold ink for the hearts.

Shopping Card

This is my contribution to this week's 'Passion for Promarkers' and 'Moving Along with the Times' challenges.

I've used the stamp which came free with this month's Creativity magazine. I can't remember what the papers are called, but I think they were Papermania. I've stamped using purple ink and coloured using Promarkers in amethyst, lavender, magenta, bright green, meadow green and satin.
