This card is beautiful Jak...love the curled up twine in the background. These markers sound very interesting and I would love to have a try of them. I currently use watercolour pencils and aqua pen. I just read how the are great for blending with water even when dry. Sounds like my type of pen. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd love to win these and try and improve my coloring. I love the tutorials you do, thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh Jak this is stunning!! I love your attention to detail and how you have placed the image in the slot.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these pens in the hope that with lots of practice and following your tutorial guidelines I might just be able to improve my colouring technique.
Thanks for the chance.
Have a wonderful day.

Wow! Great job. Your card is amazing. It seems to be so easy you're doing it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have Aquamarkers because I don't have any. I'm colouring with watercolor pencils but I would like to try something different. Anyway thanks for the chance to win.

Your card is beautiful. It's been less than a month that I received my first promarkers and I already love them. I am very curious about these aquamarkers and I would love to test the difference with the promarkers. I would say promarkers for cute and fun characters, aquamarkers for soft and nice landscapes, but let's wait and see! I have put a link to this giveaway on my left sidebar.
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning cards Jak.
ReplyDeleteLove Karen x
Your card is gorgeous. It really looks like a water colour painting! I love how you embellished the card as well. I've never tried Aquamarkers so this would be a fantastic opportunity! Keep up the great work and thanks for doing such a great giveaway =)
ReplyDeleteHi Jak
ReplyDeleteI love the effect the watercolour pens give with the shading. Yes, I too would love to win a set to try my hand at watercolouring.
Helen
Beautiful card! I also use watercolor markers (different brand) but can't get the real watercolor effect with them and would love to try these.
ReplyDeleteHiya Jak, fab card love the effects you can get.I am part way through getting the whole colection of promarkers and love them to bits. I love trying new colour mediums and techniques and at the moment use whispers felt tips to watercolour with though they don't blend fantastically well,( it's a bad workman that blames her tools) or maybe it's just me. The aqua markers will go on my wish list as if they blend(probably the wrong term) as well as you show them to, and anywhere as well as promarkers do then these will be fantastic and I may well look like a better artist than I really am. Thanks for the chance to cross some of them off my wishlist. Hope your feeling a bit better too.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Jak love that image so peaceful and love the colouring..Id love to win these as I dont have any and would love to try instead of my water colour pencils.
ReplyDeleteMyrax

Great tutorial Jak, would love to try the pens.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Jak. I've put a link in my sidebar. I'd love to have a go with the Aquamarkers - I love the Promarkers so much, but the effect is different!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting technique that I do not know. I'd love to try!
ReplyDeleteLove these markers - they do what promarkers don't do for me - blend beautifully. Watercolouring has always been my colourng method of choice.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a set, but have no blog or facebook to tell about you on.
Janet
Thanks for the tutorial Jak, I have been wanting to get some of these Aquamarkers for sooo long, watercolouring is my favourite way to go. As usual your card is beautiful, thanks for the inspiration.

Your card is so beautiful. Actually, all of your cards are extremely beautiful. You are always a source of inspiration. I have been doing cards for a short while now and I use coloring pencils and OMS. These Aquamarkers would be an alternative. They would bring me something new to try out. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteJak your ideas and colours are just so stunning. I would love to try and create something like this, should I win. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLuv Ursula XX
Wow stunning card Jak. Thanks for sharing and doing the tutorial it's great to watch.
ReplyDeleteI would love the chance to win the set of pro markers I love them I've only got a couple of sets as I can't afford to spend a lot on crafting each month. Thanks again for the chance to win the pro markers it's very kind of you.
I've also left a message on the JS Forum.

thank you so much for that little video Jak, hve picked up some good tips - particularly wetting the paper first never thought to do that! I also have problems with the edges of water colours, but see you have trimmed down the image afterwards - duh - why didn't I think of that!
ReplyDeleteI have used Lyra aqua crayons, and of course I love my promarkers, but the aquamarkers look fab, and really easy to use, and am really liking the idea of those. It is my birthday next week, so think they will have to be on my wish list for pressies from the family! lol!
Can I ask a question - I often mix my lyra colours by scribbling on an acrylic block and then with a koi brush mixing the colours - I am presuming you can do the same with the aquamarkers?
Thank you once again for the inspiration.
Mags
An excellent tutorial and a perfect creation, it's so fresh and nautical. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting

Jak - just discovered your site a few days ago (through Mo's site) and WOW!
ReplyDeleteThis particular card - just stunning - so much going on you don't know where to look first. Love the image tucked in the corner of the paper. That's getting CASED today.
Not familiar with the Aquamarkers but would love a chance to try them out. Will post a link to my craft friends on my Facebook Profile.
Am looking forward to your post each day. Thanks again.
Wow Jak that is a gorgeous card and I love what you have done with the Aquamarkers. They look wonderful. I would love a chance to win some, thsnk you.
ReplyDeleteAnne
Love the card, the boat image is beautiful, I would love a go at these aquamarkers, I adore the look of watercoloring, it is so ethereal and in my humble opinion makes the card a real piece of art!
ReplyDeleteThank you too for all of the great tutorials, I always learn something new with every post!!
Karen
What a brilliant card. My attempts at watercolouring are really pathetic. I would love to win a set of Aquacolours as they would certainly improve my technique, and I wouldn't have to 'bin' so many projects.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for giving us the chance to win the Aquamarkers. I love how you have done the sand.

ReplyDeleteI love your cards, I try to visit every day to see what you have made. I've only been blogging for a short while, so still learning.

Another great card Jak, you make the colouring in look so easy, i would love the chance to win these as i don't have any, but most of all would like to learn to use them to make a half decent attempt at colouring something in to look as it should look.
ReplyDeletecaroline x
Such a stunning card and the boat image is so evcative of lazy days of a beach on a summers day idling the hours away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance of win these aquacolours. I love trying new colouring mediums and have found your tutorials so useful and have learnt a lot. I use watercolour pencils, but the colouring with these looks to have to much more depth and realism (if that is the right word!!).
I have posted on my blog as well.

Jak, your card is stunning. I have never heard of AquaMarkers but I love all colouring medium - Copics, Distress Inks and my trusty old water colour pencils. I would love to give these a try. And you're right - watercolour doesn't have to be perfect - I love the very soft look achieved with watercolours. I am posting your candy on my blog and keeping my fingers crossed that I am one of the lucky winners.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Deb xoxo
Your work is always inspiring, thank you.

What a beautiful card. I love the effect these pens give Jak. I enjoy water-colouring, but haven't tried these pens yet!
ReplyDeleteJak, I must say what a fab card and wonderful tutorial. I know these can take a long time to do but it is worth it for people like me to watch. I have some Promarkers and like the flexibility of the ink being in a pen but to try watercolouring. I'd love to be in with a chance of winning. Best wishes, kym xxx
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Promarkers, I have always wanted to try them! I haven't been very crafty lately so I'm sure winning this would definately help me get my mojo back!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try these out as I feel they make a stronger colouring then most mediums that I have tried before.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance and your great tutorial
