passion for promarkers

This weeks challenge at passion for promarkers is set by Sarah B and is the colour combo Emerald and Marine and to make something other than a card, well i can tell you i'm a card girl all the way so creating something else got me in a bit of a tizz, never mind the colours, and this is what i came up with ....

i got the template from splitcoast stampers here and it's so easy to make with just 1 sheet of A4 card,

the card is from the papermill, the design paper is brenda pinnick, the flowers i stamped using emerald and marine promarkers instead of ink , the sentiment and flower stamp are both woodware, the sentiment tag is cut with a nestie. the flowers are prima and cut with a retro punch and the roses wildorchidcrafts, the roses i've also coloured with the emerald and marine promarkers, the ribbon, which was originally peach coloured , is from my stash and has been coloured with the emerald promarker, the scalloped border punch is ek success and the pearls are papermania.
this week we are being sponsored by yellow moon
