Passion For Promarkers Challenge

Hi all,

Hope you're well and having a good week so far. I recently christened some of my cute Magnolia stamps that I bought *cough* back in December, and thought I'd use my Promarkers and give them a go with these cards.

I made two cards recently, in two different colour combos for a couple of friends and thought I'd post them now that it's safe to do so :) Thank you Aimes for suggesting I enter the first one in the Passion For Promarkers Challenge - Week 14 - A Passion For Purple, good idea!


I really enjoyed using this new stamp of mine and can't wait to stamp and colour more in the near future. Hope you like:



Stamps: Hostess Level 1 - Best Yet, Simply Said. Non-SU: Magnolia "Standing Fall Tilda".
Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White, Pixie Pink, Close To Cocoa and Chocolate Chip.
Ink Pad:
SU Almost Amethyst and Close To Cocoa. Versamark Stamp Pad and
Memento Tuxedo Black.
Accessories: SU Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch. Promarkers in various colours. Paper Shapers - Large Corner Rounder Punch.

Have a good day.

Bye for now,

Alex

  1. Great colouring Alex and how different they look for the same stamp. I'm sure I can beat you on having stamps I've not used since I bought them, lol. They're just there for stroking right? Sara xx

  9. Alex, this is one of my fave Tildas, and you've made two lovely, lovely cards with her. I like the scallop circle for the sentiment - it echoes the flower on her hat.
    I've got a few stamps that are still in the packets, too - hoping to get them inky soon!
