Athena – On Your Birthday

0 13 Comments

Today’s handmade card has been created for the new challenge at I Love Promarkers Blog Challenge #417 that starts today.

I have used a digi image from Ike’s Art called Athena.

The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes with the option of Using a Die Cut or Punch.

You must use either promarkers, flexmarkers, aquamarkers or trias on your work.
