ATSM #77 - MAKE YOUR MARK

We are back with another favorite challenge at Addicted to stamps and more... MAKE YOUR MARK to welcome the new year. This is a challenge that requires you to use Markers, Pencils, Pens, Textas, Chalks, Crayons etc. If it writes or colours - use it! I am sure you love coloring as much as I do :)
Also, we have a very talented Guest Designer Gemma, I loved her card... I am sure you would too. Take a peek into her blog Gem's Little Creations

For my card, I used Sharpie Markers :) I was inspired by  a few challenges to create this card.
I used my stencils to write the alphabets of the word "world", fuzzy cut them and colored them with my markers. I then added a little gold streak on these using gold gel pen. On the card base, I stamped these circles n dots from Inkadinkadoo - dots n flourishes set. Hand drew the tiny hearts and wrote the sentiment "my". I printed the paint brush from the Freebies available at TAWS, fuzzy cut and colored. Stuck all the elements together using foam dots.

The challenges are -
1. TAWS Be Inspired Challenge #45
2. CAS-ual Friday's #125 - IN A WORD
3. CAS(E) this Sketch #58

   

There is a lot more lovely inspiration from the DT, Please visit our challenge blog here. The winner will receive a wonderful prize from our sponsor this week Deedee's Digis. Take a peek at their store here 



I am excited to see what you will come up with ....
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment :)

    I love how your 'personal hand' is evident on every one of your cards, Deepti! It's so clever how you created depth with the alphas and paintbrush and stamped the circles and dots in a soft color ~ Such a fun, bright and amazingly artistic card...I love it!

    You wrote the word "my"? Deepti you really should think about starting your own digital images store (or make some stamps)! Wonderful card - love the pastels! Happy New Year.

    I love it when I see your blog pop up on my right sidebar. That means another incredible creation awaits my viewing pleasure! This is no exception. Sweet springy colors, and I love that you've incorporated so many techniques into this card. With your talents, you really should get a stamp company up and running! Bev

    Now that's a first ... Sharpies on a card?! I think you may need to start a new trend : ) Love how you added the touch of gold just like the inspiration photo. And your cluster of elements around the W is spot-on!

    You are really an artist. I thought your elements were all made with rubber stamps and dies. Love the colors. Very visually pleasing composition!
