Another quick post tonight. I was looking through some images I had coloured ages ago and never made into cards. This one caught my eye, its a Penny Black image coloured with Promarkers. I remembered PB challenge this week is 'On the Move' and this fits the bill. 

I also used DCWV papers, Nesties, X-Cut stars, sentiment is rainbow echo designs, the strip and corner are my own designed paper.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Penny Black Saturday challenge - On the Move

Paper Cutz - stars, circles and diamonds

Mojo Monday - sketch

Passion for Promarkers - stars

Sweet Stampin challenge - masculine

Less is More

I have my Less is More card a little earlier this week. 

Its a lovely theme this week a single layered card with hearts. I used this old stamp which I can't remember the name. I added some doodled dots around the frame and inside the heart, and a few around the edge of the card. The heart is coloured with Promarkers and filled with Diamond Glaze. I added a few little nail art gems for sparkle.

Autumn

I have had a play tonight with Ruth's new digi images.  I have used two on this card. I made a background for the first time using digi images. I printed the maple leaves onto card in different sizes, this is an advantage with digi's as it is so easy to make the size you wish.  I coloured this with chalks in autumn colours. (they don't show up to well in the photograph.) I printed the toadstools and coloured with Promarkers and added spots with a gel pen. 

I found a maple leaf punch in my box of punches. It was a stiff punch to use, I now have a sore hand!!! At least my Martha Stewart punch was easy. 

And finally some raffia and that is that. 
You can find Ruth's images here at A Passion For Stamps.
