Today’s handmade card has been created for the challenge at I Love Promarkers Challenge #535.

The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes with the option of a Circle Card.

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 House Of Stamps and you can win two images.

For my card I have used one of their digital images called Cuddly Critter Elephant.
