Good Morning,
It’s that time of the week when we have new challenge over at
This week the theme is …
Hero
We have two fantastic sponsors this week.
It is doubly important at this horrendous time that we acknowledge the thousands of heroes working tirelessly to keep us alive, refuse collectors, doctors, nurses, hospital cleaners, food workers, delivery men, food producers, farmers, shop workers, social workers, care workers and teachers caring for the children of our key workers and volunteer workers within the community.
Thank you to each and every one of you.

For my card I chose
I placed the image on a scenic background from Bearly Mine Papers – sadly no longer available.
I used a shield template to cut out the various layers and created a banner sentiment.
The image itself has been coloured using Promarkers.

Good Morning,
We have a brand new challenge today over at I Love Promarkers
Our theme this fortnight is ..
Anything Goes / Optional twist – Speedy Recovery / Get Well
How you interpret this is completely up to you, as long as you use either Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Brushmarkers, Aquamarkers or Trias on your work, if not your work will not be eligible.

I chose this fabulous image

I love this image, it’ so poignant at this particular time and I send all my thoughts and prayers to those fighting this awful virus.
I felt that the image itself speaks for itself so needed a fairly simple design.
I added some faux embroidery in a graphics program and the sentiment directly onto the card that was used to print the image.
The image was coloured using Promarkers.

If you need further inspiration, check out my teamies designs – they are fantastic!
