Passion for Promakers DT Card - Add Sparkle

Hello to you all my wonderful Blogging buddies.

Well, here I am with my first DT card for the Passion for Promarkers Challenge.

To be honest, I was so shocked when Denise Emailed me to ask if I would like to join her wonderful team that I thought she may had made a mistake! I really do feel so lucky to be part of such a talented and friendly team. 

So the theme for the next week chosen by the lovely Pinky is:

Add Sparkle.

Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.

The sponsor is the fabulous Whiff of Joy Stamps who will be giving the prize of a stamp to the lucky winner.

Seeing the theme I knew immediately which image I wanted to use as it gave me a good excuse to add plenty to glitter to her gorgeous wings. I also used my fabulous new Memory Box border die that I won from Oysterstamps in a competition they had on Facebook. I have of course used one of my favourite colours.
