Passion For Promarkers Challenge

Well this weeks Passion For Promarkers challenge made my head spin lol.it is to make a background using nothing but Promarkers...I sat for about 2 hours looking at papers, images and my Promarkers and came up with nothing...decided to leave it a few days and see if anything came to mind.
Well I decided to sit and play today and this is what I came up with...




I have used my Promarkers to do the flowers, the grass, the sun and the faux stitching oh and the smiley face on the sun...KT's idea lol. Also I have coloured the ribbon, card candy and around the ticket sentiment so it all matches....

The image is a Pink Gem think its called dancing dino, the sentiment is Pink Gem as well
