I ♥ Promarkers #102 - Inspiration Photo



Morning all, and welcome to another weekly challenge at I ♥ Promarkers. Hope you are all bearing up ok in this freezing cold spell we're having .... I think my post on Monday of the wrapped up bear in the snow was spookily prescient lol!

This week we have another fab challenge for you and it is something a little bit different - we have an 

Inspiration Picture


You can also be inspired by this week's prize which is a fab £10 online store voucher to spend with Joanna Sheen.


Don't forget, to b eligible for our prize you should submit a new project where you have coloured your image using Letraset Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Aquamarkers, or Tria pens.

Now I have to confess, when I first saw this picture I had a bit of a panic, as it just looked so ... well... bright ... and so ... well ... buttony!! But as I looked at it some more I let thoughts float into my head, and before I knew it I was thinking about a rainbow

Don't forget you can be inspired any way you like by the picture - the colours or the buttons! 

So here's my card for this week ....

Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
Paper: Craft Creation;
