Today’s handmade card has been created for the challenge at I Love Promarkers Challenge #594.
The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes with the option of Animals.
You must use alcohol markers on your work to join in the fun, any brand is excepted.
Our sponsor for this challenge is SheepSki Designs. I am afraid that SheepSki Designs closed their shop in January but they are still sponsoring challenge blogs giving you a chance to win some of their digital images.
For my card I have used one of their digital images called Tropical.
