Passion for Promarkers #42 - Mango & Bright Green

It's Tuesday again, which means another new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers. This is our last colour combo for a wee while and it was chosen by our current GDT, Sarah W. So we want you to use the promarker colours: Mango and Bright Green.

Now, I know this is going to look and sound a bit bizarre (I'm an Aquarian, what do you expect?) but that colour combo just screamed "CARROTS" at me. Don't ask!! my brain seems to be wired up completely randomly lol

So, the prize this week for PfP #42 is a £10 voucher from Joanna Sheen

And before I show you my bizarro card, have you seen this week's fabulous double whammy tutorial on the PfP Weekend Workshop? If you haven't then you're missing the chance to win some digistamps from Bee Crafty, so hurry over and have a nosey.

Passion for Promarkers #41 - Back to Nature

Have you noticed the wee change we've made at Passion for Promarkers yet? If not then you really need to pop over there and check out the Weekend Workshops (click on the left hand side button under the header) We have a tutorial every Friday featuring a digital image from one of our digi stamp sponsors, and if you leave a comment you could be in with a chance of winning a prize from that sponsor. Last Friday was Caryn's turn to do a tut featuring one of Soft Pencil's images, and the prize is $15 to spend on their digi stamps. This Friday we have a fabulous tutorial from our new GDT - Sarah W so keep your eyes peeled.


This week's challenge at PfP was set by the lovely Caryn - Back to Nature, and you can use any colours of Promarkers.


The prize this week is a pack of 5 Promarkers from Letraset


So here's my card for this week...
