The challenge this week at Passion for Markers is Spring Colours
I used two of the stamps from my Asian Artistry set by Stampin Up, placing them towards the bottom left. I coloured with the following markers - Promarkers, Ocean Teal, Herb Green, Pastel Blue, Caramel, and Copics - Lime Green and Yellow YO6
I used a TH die for the top right corner and then layered onto some pretty soft teal card. Three 'diamonds' added the finishing touch.

Welcome.
This is a card that we don't always like to make, but it is good to have some on hand for when needed.
I used a stencil and wilted violet distress oxide to make a faint background on the left side. Then I overstamped with a lavender stamp by Paper Pleasure Plus, an Australian company which I believe no longer exists. I coloured the stamp with markers in purple and green.I coloured the peel-off with a black marker and layered it onto a scrap of purple card which I die-cut and then trimmed one side to make a banner. The black rectangle around the image is drawn with an art pen.

Today's card features one of my most used stamps - a crazy bird from Tim Holtz
I chose a piece from my backgrounds box that had some silver smudging on the edge. I sprayed it with 'glacier' Glimmer Mist to give it a pretty sheen, but of course it does not show in the scan.
I stamped my bird onto the card and also onto a piece of printed art paper, which I then fussy cut and adhered over the image
I then added the sentiment which I had printed and coloured with a blue marker. I also used it to ground the bird.
Life Happens is from a coffee sticker from Stamplorations which I cut in half

I stamped on a white card using Brilliance 'graphite black' and clear embossed

Today's card uses a Happy Hoppers stamp HHCW01, it does not have a name.
I stamped directly onto my card base and again on a scrap of yellow card. After colouring the dots with an orange marker, I fussy cut the kite and the tail ties and glued them to the image. I don't know who the sentiment image is by, as I won it in a parcel of crafty goodies from Chris Dayton
I drew some sketchy lines around the edge to finish off

Another CAS Christmas card. I raided my scrap box and diecut a wavy shape to represent snow. I then embossed with an un-named Sizzix EF, edged with a green Copic marker, and attached to my card front. The trees were cut from some scraps of Designer papers. I also cut 2 tiny snowflakes and coloured them olive green to match the trees. These wee snowflakes are a favourite to use on my Christmas cards, as they add just a little bit extra to the design. Pearls were added for a finishing touch
The sentiment is from a set by Colorado Craft Company called Christmas Tree Cat, which I stamped with Memento Olive Grove

Today's card was an amazing experience for me. I followed a tutorial by Jolande van Oosterhout and her instructions were so good. Mixed media is something I would like to get into so this was a great start.
I used tissue paper, gesso, pencil (trees and moon) watercolour pencils and stamp set from Tim Holtz (birds) and the sentiment I think is from Unity
