And here's another passion.....

Well the weekend passed so quickly as well as another birthday! I've stopped counting now because I feel just the same as I did years ago - in the mind anyway! - perhaps not in the body!

Thank you to everybody who sent birthday wishes and the lovely cards I received from my crafting friends. So as Sunday is not a work day, I thought I'd play with my 'other passion' - Tilda! I can't stop buying them especially as I have collected them from day 1. I've used promarkers here as I really need to get used to them and produce some creations like many of the talented promarker users out there! One day I suppose!

Back tomorrow with the StampinUp creation which I am about
to make for my ladies session tomorrow!
Thanks for looking

Promarkers v Copics

I was a bit cheesed off that my new Magnolias Graduate collection didn't arrive this morning, so I thought I'd have a play with some I already have, along with trying out my Promarkers. I already have Copics and to be honest, I'm not very good at blending with them, so Ithought I'd try PMs to see how I got along with them. And since Joanna Sheen has such a great deal on them at the moment, I couldn't resist them!
So here's the first Tilda, mounted on a printed background (cheating!), by PCCrafter. But then my efforts went into cutting out the fiddly tree swing. I enjoyed using the PMs but I'm not particularly good with them. They have good control as the tips are harder than Cs but there are fewer colours, meaning that the colours are not as close together for blending - but not bad!

And here's another! Tilda in the rain from th Chasing Butterflies collection. I loved these colours and I think they blended better. Just a little bling in the centre of the flowers but the card is waiting for a greeting. I'll add this when I send it to whoever!

Thanks for looking!
