I ♥ Promarkers Challenge #54 - Stitching

The new challenge for this week launched yesterday over on the I ♥ Promarkers Blog and we ask that you use Stitching on your project - this can be real or faux.  Our prize Sponsor for this week is Digi Doodle Shop.

For my DT project I chose the really fun 'Sea Life' set of digi images from DDS - they just made me smile as soon as I saw them!

The background paper is from the Pocketful of Posies stack by DCWV, I created a 'porthole' frame from some SU! Not Quite Navy cardstock using a set of circle nesties.  Coloured the images with Promarkers, of course and added Glossy Accents on their eyes to make them pop out like googley eyes.  The 'bubbles' are clear flat backed gems (I've had this huge bag of them for a couple of years, I think they may be meant to be used as table confettie for parties or weddings).  

I doodled some faux stitching with a white pen and pricked holes around the porthole and a black pen to add stitching around the outside edge of the card.  The sentiment was created by me on my computer and cut out with a small circle nestie.  A simple layout but I just had to use this fabulous blowfish as the focal point of my card, he just makes me smile and I love the expression on the face of the Big Mouth Bass bottom right!

Now it's over to you, create your project, make sure you use Promarkers on it and add some stitching (real or faux).  Finally add a direct link to your project on the I ♥ Promarkers challenge blog for a chance to win this week's prize.
