Hey everyone! I hope all of you are doing well!
If you remember I told you a few posts back that I was top 3 at Gingerloft and was invited to be a guest designer for a challenge. The challenge at Gingerloft is “Our furry friends”. Here is my card for the challenge,
At Wee Memories the challenge is to be inspired by someone or something crafts related. For this card, my inspiration comes from all of you crafters who colour their images BEAUTIFULLY with copics and promarkers.
I have the worst colouring skills and I really struggle with digi/stamp images… this time was no different. So I decided to use my regular markers and colour the image like everyone else does. I knew that regular markers will make the image bland, without any shading or depth, and it will look like I am in grade 2 all over again! So I coloured this image from Gingerloft with WASHABLE MARKERS and a water brush. It was just like painting and SO MUCH fun! Actually I have a pack of 50 markers, most of them have dried up. I have had this set since I was a kid and that was a VERY long time ago! So I scribbled my dried marker over the image and with the help of the water brush I spread the colour around.
All the flowers, the two vines and the sentiment frame is cut from Silhouette. The sentiment is from LOTV. I have used holographic lilac glitter on the fairy’s wings and lower part of the dress. The unicorn’s tail, mane are glittered silver and grey.
Here you can see clearly the dark patches from the marker. For all of us who don’t have Copics or Pro markers, try this out. REMEMBER, only WASHABLE markers will work.
Have a great day peeps and don’t forget to check out the post before this one. Two posts in one day, I must’ve eaten something wrong!
ETA: I have been asked to join the Gingerloft DT and I accepted as I will only have to make ONE card in TWO weeks! I guess I am not THAT bad at colouring images!! LMAO

Wow! You really went all out with this one, girlfriend!!! It's incredible!!!! I love every little detail of it. :)
Don't fret about your coloring skills. Just be yourself. Do what you enjoy when you're crafting. Your cards are always beautiful. They don't need to look the same as the cards made by people who own Copics. You make your own masterpieces. :)
Congrats on your new DT position. I'm so happy for you!!!! Hugs!!! xxx

Congrats on your DT post, you are truly deserving.
I love the coloring on the image and the effect that glitter adds is awesome.
WOW E.T. your card really great! I have never seen it before!
Wow! You did a great job with those markers. The card looks fabulous. I dislike coloring. Waiting for my daughter to finish her 'O'levels in June & give her some coloring to do. She's good at it.
Wow!!! You're way too hard on yourself!! Your unicorn card is fantabulous!! I sure hope I'll be able to colour as well as you do one day.

Only you could make dried markers look this luscious! I have a whack of dried markers too; I remember reading about refresher they sell for them and was thinking of googling it today to see who makes it. (It's good for older inkpads as well I think.) Stunning cards. Your wee flowers actually make me catch my breath, they're too lovely!
Huge congrats on your new design team gig ... and absolutely beautiful coloring with the water blending ... and your flower garden is magical.
Oooo, congratulations! And what a pretty card! LOVE your coloring job and that bit of glittery shine! Thank you so much for playing along, this week, in Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge!
This is stunning, you have a great eye for colour,
big hugs
