As You Like It Challenge #83 Markers, Inks or Pencils and WHY

Hi Crafters,

My favourite colouring medium are Promarker pens. They are the first alcohol pens I tried when I started crafting, they just suited me and how I like to colour my images so I have kept with them. I like to try different colour combos and shading.

I'm an alcohol marker fan, as you know, because they blend so beautifully and I love the gorgeous bright colouring on your card here. This is definitely one where the coloured image needs to take centre stage so the simple embossed layering is perfect to do this and I really love that sentiment die...one for the wish list!
Big hugs, Kat xx

Brenda said...

A local store has recently brought in Promarkers, they do blend beautifully. I was tempted, but have to much invested in my Copics. Your card is so beautifully done, the coloring is amazing and the design is so suited to this fun image.

Karen said...

Lorraine, this is lovely. Your coloring continually amazes and inspires me. The textured background is also beautiful and I love the script of the phrase die. Wonderfully done as always, my friend. Have a sparkly day. :o)

Hugs and blessings,
Karen
