Passion for Promarkers - Make it Digital...

Good afternoon, dear Blogger buddies and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all! The festive season is but a blur and it's back to normality in our house...well, almost...little man is still off school, but hubby and my eldest went back to work this morning. We had a lovely, relaxing Christmas and despite having the time, I didn't even sit at my crafty table once! I always struggle to get back into the swing of things and am on the lookout for inspiration from wherever I can get it - so this weeks first challenge of the year kicked me into gear...
We have spent the last week in a time warp, never really knowing what day of the week it was, so when I realised that it was Monday yesterday and I hadn't uploaded my DT card, I did have a bit of a mad panic! But today is another day...and it's Tuesday...so you know what that means?!...it's challenge day over at Passion for Promarkers!
Our first challenge of the year is being hosted by the lovely Marie who is easing us in gently with a simple theme of 'Make it Digital', so she'd like to see you use your digital images and/or sentiment. Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Letraset, who are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of Promarkers in rich tones...
I decided to play with one of my own images and made this cute little bear card.  I left the cream balloon blank so that I can add a name or number, in case I get a commission and coloured my sweet bear with Pro/Flexmarkers...
Body -  Sandstone, Caramel, Cinnamon, Umber
Muzzle and pads - Linen, Champagne
Bow - Pastel Blue, Sky Blue, Cobalt Blue
I added a touch of chalk to give him some blush on his cheeks and a corrugated banner with blue buttons to finish...
...I punched the edge of the card base with a hole punch, just for a bit of extra interest and inked all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have supported Passion for Promarkers and played along with our challenge themes in 2017 and it was fabulous to see so many entries for our Mega Christmas challenge too!  Don't forget to check back in on the Passion for Promarkers blog later, to see if you were lucky enough to win one of our fantastic prizes and I hope you can find the time to join in with our fun challenge this week...
Crafty hugs,
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges :

Such a pretty card to start the new year dear Lisa. I'm glad you had a great Christmas. I also didn't get any time to craft so I am loving getting back to it despite me wasting an hour hunting for a project I put in a safe place! Have a healthy and creative 2018. Hugs xxx
