Rainbow thanks!
Evening, all! By 'eck, it's a damp, cold night in S-E Hertfordshire! I hope you're all snug and warm and dry - especially my friends across the Pond, suffering from the Snowpocalypse! Stay indoors and get crafty, you know it makes sense!
I have been playing with some of my Christmas presents: I asked for Inktense Pencils or Tim Holtz Distress markers - and I got both! I used them to make rainbow stripes across two pieces of watercolour paper and then softened and blended with a water brush. Then I cut out strips, used a Marianne 'Thanks' die, and made cards like these:
Markers on the left, pencils on the right. I need a lot more practice with them, but I love the vibrant colours! The border was stamped with a Fiskars 'Bubbles' punch, one card is smaller than the other so I glued the border so that only the scallops show. Very quick and simple!
Aha, the timer in the kitchen is beeping, I must take the bread out of the oven! Thanks for looking!
love, Mags B x

PS did you get your bread out in time?
Beautiful happy cards Mags, loving your rainbow effects.
I have both & love colouring images with both, inktense give you a bright scrummy finish & distress markers give you a soft vintagey kinda finish...I love them both!
