Passion for Promarkers & Basic Grey

Another week has flown by & time for another PFP challenge which this week is sponsered by www.yellowmoon.org.uk who are offering a £10 voucher to spend on their site.

Onto this weeks challenge, Natalie has chosen the yummy colours Cocoa & Rose Pink.

I have used a sweet Sugar Nellie Stamp called 'Reflective', which I have had months and never used ............yes I know it's criminal!!!! She has been coloured with Promarkers as follows:

Blush, Dusky Pink, Blossom, Rose Pink, Cocoa, Umber, Sandstone Grass & apple,

I followed the fab sketch from the revived Basic Grey challenge blog, and used my Sultry papers to qualify for the challenge. The Brown cardstock is SU & the Pink is Papermill. Iused my MS Doily lace punch for the Pink strip & the flower was created with the small and medium retro flower punches.
The sentiment is from the Stampin up 'Best Yet' hostess set & was punched out with the small SU Tag punch & layered on to the large, the ribbon & brads are from my stash.
By the way, I gave the man at work the card for his wife & I am not sure he liked it, it took him a while to say anything about it then about said it was OK, I ended up giving it him for nothing as I felt a bit cheeky charging for it........................needless to say after all the stress it caused me over the weekend & the cost I will not be doing anymore unless it is something they have already seen & liked!!!!!!
Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Hugs

Basic Grey challenge #20 - Follow the sketch


I am so pleased with myself as I have entered another challenge.......only my second.........think I have been bitten by the challenge bug!!!!


This one is Follow the sketch over at Basic Grey , you create a card based on the lovely sketch provided as long as you use at least one basic grey item. I changed the position of the sentiment as it said that this was optional........hope you are allowed to do that!!!


  • I have used the non patterned side of a Basic Grey paper called Jolly from the Figgy Pudding collection, the other 2 papers i used are from the Black Market paper society called Lucky in Love.

  • Stamp - Tilda wearing floral head wreath

  • Sentiment - from Hero Arts Birthday set

  • Tilda was coloured with Lyra Aquacolours & distress inks

  • Photo corners cut with a sizzix die using my cuttlebug
