A DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE

Good Morning All!!
Hope you are well :o)
I've been busy this week preparing for a colouring techniques demo I'm doing at In2Crafting on Saturday 21st - making lots of different samples.
I'm trying not to just use Promarkes LOL - I will be demonstrating Promarkers, of course, but I will also be colouring with pencils and blending with solution, painting with distress inks and this technique below which I tried this week and I'm quite taken with it  - I have printed an image off of a CD Rom in black & white onto textured white card and have then used chalks to highlight different areas - a really simple technique but very effective

I also added some glossy accents

I would like to enter :


I hope you like it and if you live locally to me pop along to the demo and say Hi :o)

Morning All!!
Well it feels like ages since I actually sat down and made some cards - still trying to iron out kinks with my "Paypal buttons" on my other blog - but I'm hoping it won't be too long before I'm up and running :o)
Anyway .... next week I start my workshops again after some time off and my first class is "Magnolias with Promarkers" Oh My Goodness what a class to start with!!! This is the first of three cards we will be making

In this card I'm going to show how you can use "masks" and stamp one image over another.  The sentiment is one of mine from a set called "Summer Fun" which will be available shortly to download (keep you fingers crossed lol)
