Hi everybody, I would like to wish all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2014 and to say a very big "THANK YOU" to all my followers and crafting and blogging friends for your lovely comments and support.
It's time to start the very first challenge of the year at Addicted to Stamps and More and the theme is Make Your Mark - use markers, pens, paints, chalks and/or pencils on your project.
Our generous sponsor is Deedee's Digis and our winner will receive their choice of three digi sets from her shop. Also we are very excited to have a very talented guest designer, Gemma of Gem's Little Creations joining us for this week and next, so please do pop over to her blog and say hi.
The month of January is often quite grey in the UK so I wanted to make something with bright summery colours. For my DT card I stamped the flowers first in black Archival and drew a frame lightly in pencil. I then added colour using TH distress inks and aqua brush, intensified the colours with aqua colouring pencils, drew the frame in with a black micro pen and added the butterfly and sentiment.
The DT have a beautiful array of creations to show you so don't forget to check it out at the ATSM challenge blog and we hope you can join in the fun!

Happy New Year Sue! I love the background and funky frame and you are so right, here in England we need these gorgeous bright colours!
Hi Sue, wonderful, summery card! We also have very grey now -it should be all snowy this time of the year but it's just raining all the time! I love the border and the blue around the flower, very effective, great job! xx
Such a beautiful summery card hunni and just what we need at the moment to cheer us all up with this dull and wet weather we are having in the UK!!

Beautiful card, Sue.. :)
It is grey here in Indiana too, so I am really enjoying your brightly colored flower! I like the white card base with it. It really makes the flower pop!
Hi Sue. Love the water colour look and your soft colours. Great card! Have a lovely day. hugs Monika xxx
