0 Comments

Today’s handmade card has been created for the challenge at I Love Promarkers Challenge #582.

The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes with the option of Masculine.

You must use alcohol markers on your work to join in the fun, any brand is excepted.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Dr Digi’s House Of Stamps.
For my card I have used one of their digital images from a set called Biffo.

Once coloured, carefully cut around the image, leaving a small white border for a clean finish. Then, attach Biffo to your card using foam pads to make him stand out.

Create Layer Four
Use Microsoft Word (or your preferred text editor) to create a sentiment for your card.
Mount the sentiment on black card to create a border, then attach it to your card base.

Final Touches:
Finish by adding an insert inside the card base so you can write a personal message.
