Between Hurricane Irma evacuation and cleanup, illness and being overwhelmed at work, I missed the design team deadline for the “Mad about Markers” challenge at Heart 2 Heart because I simply lost track of what day it was.
I created this card using one of Close To My Heart’s mini stamps and some Shin Han alcohol markers. I simply stamped the image multiple times on White Daisy cardstock and cut it to the size I wanted. Then I probably spent a couple of hours or more coloring. When I was done, I added some clear shimmer pen to some of the flowers, because this gal needs a little bling. 😉
When all of my coloring was done, I matted it to black cardstock, added the “thank you” sentiment, wrapped a piece of ribbon from the Rustic Home ribbon collection (retired) and added some sparkles.
It’s not my favorite card of all time, but I’m please with how it turned out.
Stamps Used: Delicate Flower, Thoughtful Bird
Markers: Barely Beige, Cherry Pink, Tender Pink, Leaf Green, Pastel Green, Peacock Blue, Colorless Blender
Other: Microtip Scissors, Bone Folder, 3D Foam Tape, Paper Trimmer
Even though this challenge is closed, there’s a new one every Monday. We’d love to have you join us for the next one at Heart 2 Heart Challenges. The deadline to enter is midnight on the last day of the month or on the Saturday following the month’s final challenge. The challenge varies from week to week and can be a color challenge, a sketch, an inspiration photo, a theme challenge, or something else. You can choose to play along every week, or just play along when the challenge moves you. The only requirement to play along is that CTMH products must be included in your submitted project, but it doesn’t have to be 100% CTMH (and it doesn’t have to be new product either).
I hope to see you over at H2H!
