Passion for Promarkers #38 - Cool Aqua, Sky Blue & Aegean

Gosh, I'm chasing my tail this week, sorry for the late post - it's all go here today as Pepsi had to be dropped off at the vet for her operation this morning and poor Faith got more than a little upset.


Anyway, it's week 38 at Passion for Promarkers and our Guest DT Emma has chosen the colour scheme this week of Cool Aqua, Sky Blue and Aegean, which I thought was ideal for a baby boy card - have a bit of a thing for baby boy cards at the moment for some reason!!


This week we have a fab prize up for grabs... 6 promarkers from Wendy at
 

So here's a look at my card, and I hope it gives you some inspiration, but you can also check out the other DT's, and our guest DT's Emma and Tracy for even more inspiration


Image: Sleepyhead from Wink Wink Ink, coloured with promarkers: Ivory & Dusky Pink for his skin, Tan for his wee tuft of hair, Cool Aqua, Sky Blue and Aegean for his romper suit and pillow. I also covered the pillow with white Papermania glitter flock.


The core'dinations card background was run through the cuttlebug with the congratulations embossing folder and sanded, and I used the MS doily lace border punch on the darker strip of card. The image was cut using large octagonal nesties and the ribbon is from my stash. Oh and I nearly forgot the Papermania adhesive pearls.


Here's his close up, so hopefully you can see the glitter flock a bit better...


Good luck to everyone who enters this week's challenge.

Belated Pepsi Update

Yes, I know I haven't done a Pepsi update in a wee while, but better late than never.
She was 6 months old on the 30th January, so off we went to the vet for her adolescent health-check. The vet can no longer detect a heart murmur, so we're really chuffed about that - but obviously as she's a cavalier it will be something that will be checked again as she gets older. For those who don't know, Mitral Valve Disease is a heart condition that is common in cavaliers. The vet also noticed a problem with her teeth - her baby canine teeth haven't fallen out, but the adult canines have pushed through anyway, so she'll need the baby ones pulled in case it causes problems like rotting teeth or they push the adult teeth the wrong way. We also discussed gettinf Pepsi spayed. I did consider letting her have a litter, but having loooked into it I don't think it would be a good idea. Although I've had experience with cats having kittens, there seems to be a lot more that can go wrong with dogs and because I don't have the experience or knowledge I think its probably best if we just get her spayed. Pepsi hasn't come into season yet, so she's booked in for the 9th Feb to get spayed and to have her baby teeth pulled. Think I'll ask them to see if her nails need clipped while they're at it.

Anyway, here's a couple of recent pics of Princess Pepsi of Porty lol...

 
That's the little menace investigating my desk and trying to see what all the fuss about farmville is
And here's her pretty face shot..
