This is my first box for the birthday card I made yesterday. I’m pleased with it as I had to make up how to do it!!

I made the background paper with sentiment on the computer. I tied the bow and stuck it on the wreath. I used distress inks to colour card and the punched two butterflies. I curled the wings, layered them and added gems to the body.  I added a cluster of flowers from WOC.

I would like to enter this for the following challenges
Bearly mine challenge- anything but a card
Craft your passion- bingo (flowers, bling on butterfly and free is using distress inks)
Crafty Ribbon Challenge- bingo (glitter on butterflies, flowers and gems on butterflies)
Joyful stamper inspire me Fridays- always anything goes

To think a month ago I had never heard of Promarkers!!

I’m going to blame everyone on the MSE card thread for introducing me to Promarkes and leading to an addiction that will probably lead to bankruptcy! Especially as my very local HobbyCraft seem to have a stand of all the colours to buy individually!

I’ve been colouring in using a Doodle Designs book to practise. They take me a couple of hours and are probably too large for cards but it is fun! They seem to look quite good scanned and reduced so I might do that and use them for cards.

These are my first colouring attempts I’ve completed over the last couple of weeks.

Do feel free to give me tips on how to impove! Sorry my photos aren’t great but it would be too fiddly to use my decent camera to upload images and I’d end up posting nothing for ages and then adding hundreds of photos at once.
