Today’s handmade card has been created for the new challenge at I Love Promarkers Blog Challenge #414 that starts today.

I have used a digi image from Dr. Digi’s House Of Stamps called Tough Turkey.

The theme for this challenge is Christmas In July, but you must use either promarkers, flexmarkers, aquamarkers or trias on your work.

Here is a tutorial on how I created this card.
