This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
Your Favourite Colouring Medium (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.
Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:
Although I've been trying my hand at colouring pencils recently (art drawings rather than cards) my favourite go-to medium for cardmaking has been Ranger Distress Reinkers, which I use as watercolouring inks with a dinky brush. Watercolouring feels like relaxing therapy because it's quite slow while you're putting in all the layers!
My beloved Copic markers aged out and these days I am enjoying learning to use colored pencils. I love that there are so many affordable options that go down smoothly and have a wide variety of colors.
I love to use alcohol markers for my projects. I love the range of colours and the blending qualities.
Coloured pencils are my favourite colouring medium. I love the look of the blended pencil and I think it is really relaxing to colour with them.
I use my copics the most. I have had them the longest and am more used to them than anything else. I would love to try pencils but don't seem to have the time or patience!
Promarkers for me, they blend beautifully and last for ages. I've used them for so long that I know all the colour combinations that work.
My favourite colouring medium is Copic markers. I love the way how they blend. I do have all the Copic markers, beautiful colours so I have plenty of choice. I tried watercolouring but that was no success.
It's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.
Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.
Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
