I Love Promarkers GDT

I was really honoured to be aske to be October's guest designer over at I Love Promarkers.  This week's theme is autumn colours.

This fab Saturated Canary image is coloured using promarkers nad flexpens - I had a bit of play with the red as I wanted it to look browy if you see what I mean, so I used firebrick and rosewood flexpens, and poppy and blender promarkers.  IRL it has more depth to it, looking a bit flat in the photo.  I distressed the edges of the image and dp, and added vintage photo distress ink, and a swirly stamp, stamped in versafine.  I added some lace and gingham ribbon, paper flowers, buttons, punched butterflies, pearls and a doilly.  Finally I added the stamped sentiment, which I attached with a stapler and Tim Holtz paper clip.


Supplies:
Colouring medium: Promarkers and flexpens
Embellishments: doilly, pearls, buttons, flowers, lace, ribbon,
 Tim Holtz paper clip, staples
Tools: Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Tim Holtz paper distresser
