Wow how these weeks simply fly by. Thank goodness I have been a part of the team at Bah! Humbug! since the very beginning, because Christmas is going to be here before we know it and at least this year my cards will be a breeze as most of them are already finished and almost ready to send.
This week our challenge theme is to use your favourite medium. It had to be Promarkers for me. I do love Derwent Colour Soft pencils and the Lyra Aquacolours, but I always seem to fall back on my Promarkers. They just give such a professional finish so easily and they are great for colouring gemstones and ribbons to match your card. I only buy clear gemstones now. It's so much easier both on the purse and on storage.
The cute stamp I've used is one I've had ages and is from a clear set by Penny Black and the sentiment stamp is by Making Memories.
Other materials used...
- papers by HOTP
- Xcut holly punch
- clear gemstones coloured with crimson Promarker
- holly border punch
- nestie scallop and circle dies
My card is also for the following challenges...
- Simon Says Challenge - Holidays
- My Time to Craft - Jewelled
- Sketch Saturday - the sketch (with bits missed sorry)
- Penny Black at Allsorts - Punches

Whose idea was it to make us choose a favourite? HUH? Oh ... t'was me ... blush ... LOL! Well I won't make that mistake again as this was just tooooo hard.
Fabulous choice of 'favourite' Ann and as the person responsible for MY stamp addiction, it came as no surprise to see that's what you had chosen ... oh and you are also responsible for introducing me to the joys (and frustrations) of promarkers! You have a lot to answer for LOL.
As always you have created a wonderful card with beautifully coordinated papers and superb colouring - another gem for some lucky friend to receive.
Luv'n'Stuff

I love the Penny Black image and those papers are great, I too colour my gems and ribbon with promarkers so now only buy clear or white makes chosing so much easier.
