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

Looks to me like you hit a homerun right out of the box with the markers & pencils. Love this rainbow effect & clever you to do the chevron bit. It's beautiful & bright & cheery. The decorative border underneath all the striping added such a pretty finish to these pretty cards. I still don't have the hang of those w/c markers. Loved the dies, and especially the multicolor on the white. Awesome. TFS & Hugs.
Gorgeous creations hun, I love what you have done with your new stash!
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!
