Stampin' 4 the Weekend #10


This weeks challenge over on Stampin' 4 The Weekend was a fab sketch by Vicki

I did feel a little daunted when I first saw it as I wanted to use my Manga Boy but couldn't see past the flowers in the botton left hand corner! But as I played this evolved...............



I used my Promarkers, again taking into account the colours I have - luckily I still have some of the brights card from the Papermill and they seem to matched well :)


I wanted to do something a little different with the scalloped circle behind the image so used the piece left over from a punched circle (red piece) and matt & layered that onto more of the bright colours (yellow then blue).


Obviously flowers would not have suited this card and I couldn't find any other suitable embelishments, so I tied some matching ribbons together!

  10. Hi Carole, what a cute card, I love the bright colours, I've recently purchased some pro markers so i'm very new to this but what colour have you used to outline the little boy.
    Hope to hear from you soon.
