Passion for Promarkers - Cut it out and CES Challenge Blog - Button it

Hi all, at last I have finished my ice cream card, do you sometimes have an idea, start a card and suddenly it takes a week to make as your not sure it you like it?  Yep that's this card lol.  I have done it for the That Craft Place Shop Blog, to give inspiration for our current challenge over at That Craft Place Challenge Blog which is Anything but a square or rectangle.  I also wanted to enter my card into two challenges - Passion for Promarkers the challenge being cut it out and over at CES Challenges where the challenge is Button it - use more than one button.

So the not so sure card lol.  I quite like the felt circles and that I sewed swirls on them (well the best that my sewing ability can be lol)  then threaded each bead.  The cone is just embossed with the hoogie board.  Thanks for looking :-) Kezzy xxx

WOYWW 151

Hi all, what a horrible wet, windy, nasty cold day, it's bad when all you want is stew, sofa and a blanket when May is a week away :-(.  Ok got that out feel better now lol.  Its Wednesday and that means WOYWWW which is hosted by Julia, pop on over and enter so we can see your crafty space :-).  Thank you all for your help with colouring, I got some great tips.  I also contacted Letraset and they were very helpful, they sent me an excel document which tells me the numbers in triamarkers that promarkers and flexmarkers are, which will allow me to buy the triamarker which is in between colours, just like the copic ciao and buy the more expensive copics in between. :-)
This weekend I got fed up of my dumping floor and desk as I wanted somewhere to put the sewing machine out, I did consider getting another table out, but if I kept doing that, my craft room would be an assult course!!!
The next two pics are of the clean desk (Monday pic) and the clean floor todays pic.

Still need some sorting :-)

Wednesday morning, still not too bad lol

Last nights card and bits upper right, card I'm doing

now, beads for top icecream, and my 

new compendium curiosities 2

Just ordered the new spring distress ink pads, they look fab.  Right I should go, I'm hoping to post another one tonight if I can get the ice cream card done lol.  Hope you have a fantastic crafty week.
Thanks for looking :-) Kezzy xxx

WOYWW 150

Hi all, it's woyww and I'm late again, want to show your desk, wondering what the hype is about then pop on over to Julia's brilliant blog who brings us crafter's together. I'm late as I have spent this evening baking cupcakes with the kids, this is our first time we tried gluten free, all I can say is that, we didn't quite expect them to rise as much has they did, it looked like something from the horror film blog, trying to escape through the oven door!!!!  My desk hasn't changed much, just more bits on bobs on dumping desk and a pile of images I need to colour for various cards I need to do.  I'm trying to take my colouring further, now I am a promarker, flexmarker girl, I also have a tria marker which is a darker grey to do black hair.  I can't decide if I'm using my colours wrong or there is a limit to promarkers but I feel that the colours are not close enough to get a good blend.  I don't really want to try starting from beginning to collect copics, but wondering if I should start getting a few, especially the skin tones.  Also I see some fantastic colouring artists on woyww using pencils as well, now I have the full set of Faber-Castell polychromos pencils (in pic) and not sure how they do it.  So I would love if any woyww'ers could give me some tips :-). Right pictures

In my frustration, I have dumped my yellows and oranges

to see if I can work out good blending.  Think I might

have to put them back and leave that for another day

after I see what woywwers say, and also

I really have to get these images coloured :-)

Stamps that I'm using, new ribbon still out and a pile

of card blanks that I have spent the last

few days doing, for some DT work.

Right that's my photos, not much done, but a lot to do so hopefully a lot to show over the next few days. Hope you all have a fantastic crafty week. Sorry it was a long post, shall be told off oops sorry. Thanks for looking :-) Kezzy xxx
