Hello everyone, its thursday again and another new challenge over at the LOTV Challenge Blog. Bev has a fantastic sketch and I'm sure to use this one again.
For my card, I have used James Bear and coloured with Aquamarkers on Hp Watercolour Paper. The papers are BG Jovial and the sentiment is Cats Life Press available from Crafty Emma's Store. The snowflake punch is gorgeous, ono of my many purchases at Ally Pally and Rafia Lace, Stickles & Gold Viva Pearl Pen to finish.
And do I love the Aquamarkers??
YES.
I have distress ink pads and refills and these work in the same way. Put some colour onto an acrylic block and with a slightly damp brush pick up the colour & apply. I'm sure I need more practice but am so enjoying the Aquamarkers and think I'll try mixing the distress inks/inkadinks so I have more colours to play with.
My teamies have also made the most gorgeous of cards, so if you need some inspiration go check out this weeks challenge HERE.
