ProMarker Challenge samples

Here are a couple of samples Nicky has designed using the stamped images at the last ProMarker Challenge Club. Just to remind you that this months ProMarker challenge set by Nicky is to use the colours blue and brown with either of the stamped images.

The stamped images are, Cowboy and Indians from the Ollyfant range of clear stamps and, Henry Mouse with Christmas Bauble from Whiff of Joy stamps. Both designs by Nicky are stunning especially when coloured in with ProMarkers, don't you agree?

All entries to be in by Wednesday, 18 November, 5.00pm.

Ollyfant pop up card

I had a fab time this afternoon and joined in the cardmaking workshop which takes place every Tuesday afternoon, 1.00pm-2.30pm, please click here for more details. Tuesdays are my day off at the moment so I thought I would treat myself to a workshop. The best bit is my husband doesn't know what I am up to, so having been to the garage this morning to get my car fixed, a quick clean around the house, made a cottage pie for tea, I arrived just in time for Nicky's class. Here are two samples using the Ollyfant stamps and Kraft card.

Nicky assures me that more of the adorable Ollyfant stamps are on order. We used the new Woodware Brown Kraft card which comes in A4 sheets of 20 in a pack, which is textured on one side and smooth on the other. The packs have just come into the shop but, I am sure they will disappear very quickly as they are gorgeous!

Then a quick dash to collect the kids from school at 3.15pm. It's suprising what us women can fit into a day when we have to. So come on ladies treat yourself to some ME time!

ProMarker Challenge Club - Ollyfant stamp

Here as promised is the lovely card Nicky designed for the 1st ProMarker Challenge Club that took place on Saturday, 3 October. I hear that everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves and they are looking forward to entering the ProMarker Challenges that Nicky will set each month.

Here are the finalised details of the ProMarker Challenge Club:-

When you arrive at the ProMarker Challenge Club you will be given some images to colour in during the Club session, followed by a quick tutorial by Nicky. Next you will be given a challenge sketch using the ProMarker pens and using something else from the shop. Everyone will have until the end of the week to hand in their finished card (sounds easy so far).

Bear with me now, it's get a bit complicated. All the finished cards will be displayed in the shop and customers will have a chance to vote for their favourite card of the month. The winner will receive a prize at the next ProMarker Challenge Club, however they will not be eligible to enter the challenge for the following month, but may rejoin after that.

It all sounds like great fun, so why not join Nicky at the next.....
