Morning everyone.
This weeks Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge is Challenge #37 Make Your Mark. Your project can be anything as long as your use your markers. For full details of the challenge and to see the wonderful inspirational pieces by the DT please click on the link above.
Here is my little DT project for this week. When I made this, it reminded me of times when there was no internet, no on-line shopping and not a great deal of craft stash on the market. My how times have changed!
All I have done is “scribbled” the colours onto coated card stock using my jumbo felt pens. I then used a stencil (which is about 20 years old and cost 50p from a well known high street stationers) to draw on the numbers and letters, again using jumbos. I gave everything a quick spray of fixative and painted on some white lines and some black dots using some craft paint.
We hope you will be able to join in the challenge and look forward to seeing your projects.
Thank you to everyone who has recently left comments on both of my blogs. They are very much appreciated.
Happy Crafting.

You are wise to hang on to your crafty stash & tools. I have a habit of giving things away if I don’t use them. And then sometimes I go looking for them at some point. Great ‘scribble’ design ! Cheers, Shirleyx

This is such a festive card. I’ll have to admit…I have a stash of old stencils too. Talk about hoarding. Very clever of you to spray seal it so you could add the highlights! Regards…G
