Just playing...

with my new Promarkers. I love the smooth colour you can achieve with them, but sometimes they seem to make the stamped ink bleed a little. I will have to practice more I think.

This card is for the challenge at http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ where they have an 'open' theme until the 8th January.

Materials used:
  • Cuddly Buddly rubber stamp
  • Promarkers, Sakura stardust pens and water colour crayons
  • Lilac papers by Papermania
  • lilac plain card, jewels, button and organza ribbon from stash

Lovely Card Ann.

Just a few tips about promarkers, use ink such as Adirondack dye-based ink,impress and Momento(heat set before using with the pens) also brilliance inks can be used, again heat set first. the above will not bleed, the reason the inks your using may have bled is that the pro markers are alcohol based Because such inks as Stazon are solvent based, it's not suitable (the alcohol in the pen will just wipe it off) and an oil-based pigment ink like Versafine is also a no-no.
Hope that helps. I am still learning with my pro markers, yet to show anything off I am happy with.
