Anniversary Challenge

Morning guys! :) I hope the weather is still glorious wherever you are today. I'm still sore off getting burnt at the weekend - it's my own fault, I know!! I went on a bike ride thinking it was just super warm and not that sunny.. I couldn't have been more wrong. Onwards.. *whispers* - I will learn the hard way.

So Passion for ProMarkers are bringing this weeks challenge with a BANG! This month with our ANNIVERSARY challenge!!

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY, GIRLS! :)

We've got a really simple challenge for you all today.. so simple that we're hoping to have entries in the triple figures - don't let us down! ;) 

We wanna see..

DIE CUTS

I'm sure there's a lot of us out there.. who have a ridiculously huge collection of dies that we love and adore, so a challenge like this is perfect for that! ;) Plus, it gave me a good excuse to break out my new SEQUINS DIES from My Favorite Things. I know.. sequin dies.. to make sequins.. from paper. Of course that was a no brainer and I just had to, had to have them in my life.

Before I show you my project, I know you wanna know what prizes are up for grabs, right? ;)

Letraset - 12 pack of Promarkers Set 1
DSB - £10 voucher
Michele R Designs - $10 worth of digi papers
Polkadoodles - 2 digis from the work & play range (office & receptionist)
Little Claire designs - 1 silhouette 'Elephants' clear stamp
Angel crafts - still to be confirmed


I merged a couple images from Some Odd Girl for this card. This is Woodsy Mae and Summer Kaylee, perhaps two of my favourites from Some Odd Girl. I coloured them up with ProMarkers to match my papers from Echo Park. 

I tried out a new skin combo on Summer Kaylee, and I'm still not 100% sure I'm happy with it. It was Blush, Sunkissed Pink, Coral and Burnt Orange, instead of my usual Ivory, Blush, Peach and Soft Peach that I used on the girl on the right (Woodsy Mae). Hmm, maybe it'll grow on me. 

As for my die cuts - I used the sequins dies I mentioned before as well as a fence die from C.C Designs and a couple XCut sets, the homespun heart (I think it's called) and a speech bubble die for my main sentiment.

Obviously I went a little crazy with little doodads, sequins and pearls. I can't help myself. 

BE SURE TO HEAD OVER TO PASSION FOR PROMARKERS TO JOIN IN WITH US THIS WEEK. THERE ARE AMAZING PRIZES UP FOR GRABS!
