Sketch Saturday 47 - using Stamps I won

Sketch Saturday - Challenge 47
Great sketch this week I decided to use my stamps I was sent a couple of weeks ago
Its my friends birthday on St Georges Day so I thought I would do a combined card
I stamp St George twice once on white card and once on Mira card with a Stazon ink pad
I then paper pierced the armour onto St George
I coloured his face a little colour on the shield using my Tria Markers
The Dragon was printed on white card and a little colour added by the Tria Markers
The text was done in word
I inked the card edges with a colorbox ink Cranberry
The floral paper is the same paper I used on my last card
but this time I inked it with my stamp pads to give it a pink tinge
The circle and the strip of black paper are all of cuts of wallpaper from my local DIY store
Thanks for a great Sketch and thanks for the stamps I love them
Sorry about photo Mira boards kept reflecting even without flash

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size!

I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
