I had a lovely few days at my parents for Christmas. The girls had a great time opening all their presents and playing with their new toys and games, so I got some peace and quiet! Ellie is well and trully recovered from her operation and is positively glowing (shame he couldn't have removed her voice box as well as the tonsils!!), but Beth has been quite poorly over Christmas with a nose like a tap and infected ears. However she has needed her Grandad not me ... so I was OK! The cat survived staying with my parents dog - not sure which is going to need therapy!
My lovely hubby bought me lots of Promarkers and my Mum got me a stack of Dsitress inks so I have spent a few days curled up in front of a fire trying out my new toys! Still need a bit of practice, but the three cards I have posted today were coloured using either distress inks or promarkers.
I have made a little promise to myself (having hit the Glitterpot sale big time!) that I am not going to get any more stash until I have used most of what I have - I seem to have flowers, papers and ribbons pouring out of my craft room, and yet I feel the need to buy more ... so I am going to resist. I am not, however, opening a book on how long I will last!
Anyway, this is the card I made using the Friday Sketcher sketch (a bit late but it is Christmas!!).
I used my new Promarkers to colour her in and Basic Grey Sugared papers. I used my large sizzix tag die to cut the tags. I went a bit mad with the faux stitching and stitched everything!The organza ribbon is from my stash, as are the brads.
Off to play with the girls and their train set (they are very keen on Brio!). Have a lovely evening and if I don't get on the 'pooter tomorrow
Happy New Year.

Gorgeous card - I love the colouring - I have only got three or four pro markers but heaps of distress inks but have never got to grips with the inks always go back to my trusty watercolours!!
Glad to hear Ellie has fully recovered.
