Promarker Master Class

Class now Filled

I just popped in to let you know that I have 1 place left on my Promarker Master class to be held on  20th August at Imag-e-nation in Tyne and Wear I thought I would pop in on here just in case you fancied coming along.

It will run from 10am until 3pm lunch and refreshments will be provided.

We will not be making a card, I want to fit as much technique in as possible.

The class will focus on blending skills, colouring skin, colouring hair, shading and shadows and background work.

6 Promarkers and a technique DVD will be included in the cost of the lesson. I was going to do some information sheets but I think sometimes visual is much better to learn from and the DVD will enable people to watch at their leisure and practice.

Contact me at jakheath@gmail.com for more information.

Tomorrow Morning I will be doing a Blog Hop with Just Inklined, stop by for some fabulous inspiration.

Poppies

SUMMER set lip to earth's bosom bare,
And left the flush'd print in a poppy there;
Like a yawn of fire from the grass it came,
And the fanning wind puff'd it to flapping flame

Coloured with copic markers, card aribrushed in the same colours then debossed using the Cuttlebug Stylised Flowers embossing folder, lace and pearl pin from Dainty Paperie, ribbon and sentiment stamp from Papertrey Ink. poppy digi stamp from Sketching Stamper

Sharing in your Sorrow

I’ve had this idea in my head for a couple of days, looking for the image that would fit the card, I knew how the finished layout would look but couldn’t fit the image, then whilst tidying my craft room I came across the stamp set Hopeful Thoughts from Stampin Up

It has been a while since I had stamped and embossed so I really enjoyed doing this, not a Copic or Promarker in sight.

Tip Toe Through the Tulips With Me

Are you singing along? I’m hoping one of the artists at Just Inklined reads this as he’ll be singing it all day long if he does.

Tulip Jug by Just Inklined  coloured with Promarkers by Letraset I used the funky fold card I dont know who made the original template for the card but if you google it you’ll find loads.

Card from the front.

Card from the side

Summer

Oh this was a devil to photograph, the butterflies that look black on the acetate are actually silver foiling but I’m sure you’ll get the gist of it.

The image is called Summer and is a digital Stamp by Funky Kits.

Coloured with Copic Markers and cut out with the long rectangle nestabilities by spellbinders and the dots are Dainty Dots from Dainty Paperie

Dainty Paperie Winner

After an early start this I have to admit falling asleep after dinner and forgetting to do the draw until now.

The lovely Ang at Dainty Paperie has offered up a wonderful package for our winner and here it is.

Ohh you are going to love these.

I will also send you my card

And the winner is

Number 245 which is James

James please send me your snail mail address and I will ensure your prize gets to you, Congratulations.

A Fishy Tale

Not really a fishy tale but this is what I got up to at the unearthly time of 05:30 am this morning, far too hot to sleep last night so I think by the end of the day I’m going to be needing match sticks to keep my eyes open.

Siren Lorelei is a digi stamp by Make it Crafty isn’t she a doll?

oh yes the card, I nearly forgot.

Get Well Soon–Gripper Stebson

You know how it is, you need a mans get well card and you don’t want it to be like all of the usual flowery gardener wishy washy ones as you know he needs a smile.

So meet Gipper Stebson, I have to say this one would also be perfect for any occasion as it would suit my Father in Law to the ground, he would sit glued to his chair on a Saturday afternoon clenching onto the chair arm shouting at the TV whilst watching the wrestling, in fact Sky TV run the old stuff last year and when they didn’t continue with it he was shouting that he was going to cancel the Sky subscription ha ha.

Gripper Stebson is a new release from Just Inklined and can be purchased here

ATG Gun Winner

We have a winner.

Firstly I wanted to thank each and every one of you that entered and that supports my blog, it keeps me sane you know.

I used the random generator to choose a winner and I have to say that I think I may know the lady that has won, but I couldn’t be certain until they get in touch to claim their prize and what a prize it is, it’s my can’t do without craft tool.

Number 277 is Marjorie Watson

Marjorie drop me an email with your snail mail address and I will get it popped in the post for you.

A Card and some News.

First up is some news….

After doing my demo on Promarkers last weekend I was asked if I would consider doing some private tuition, I thought long and hard on what techniques would be needed and I have planned a class for Saturday 20th August.

It will run from 10am until 3pm lunch and refreshments will be provided.

We will not be making a card, I want to fit as much technique in as possible.

The class will focus on blending skills, colouring skin, colouring hair, shading and shadows and background work.

6 Promarkers and a technique DVD will be included in the cost of the lesson. I was going to do some information sheets but I think sometimes visual is much better to learn from and the DVD will enable people to watch at their leisure and practice.

It will be held at Image-e-nation in Washington Tyne and Wear.

I do have a few places left on the class so if you want to brush up on your colouring skills.

Secondly my card, not sure if I like this one now but as my Mam loves it I thought I'd show it anyway. Another digital image stamp called Melissa from Funky Kits, coloured with Promarkers and used my airbrush to add a splash of colour to the background. A pretty ribbon and a chipboard flower to finish.
