This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

your Favourite Markers, Inks or Pencils (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

using Bently & Bunny
My favourite is definitely my reinkers which I was introduced to by our very own Squirrel. I find it so therapeutic when I have a paintbrush in my hand blending out the ink to shade the images.  The only downside is when I confuse my little water bottle with my cuppa and dunk my brush in the wrong one.

Samantha
Using Rosie Collection 1
My favourite medium is Ohhh this is difficult because I LOVE distress inks but I also love spectrum noir pens too! I guess for speed I have to choose the Spectrum Noir pens.

Brenda
using Merlin and Binky

I love coloring with Copic markers.  I love the wonderful color blends and shading you can get with them.

Elaine

Elvis hedgehog set

My favourite medium is Promarkers. I love colouring and blending and find it very relaxing.

Kat

Copics are my favourite because I love the detail and depth I can get in the shading...on a good day!

Lori
using Snoozing Ralph

My favorite coloring medium is Copic markers because I love to blend and muck with all the different combinations you can create :) 

Lorraine

 Gardening Alf

I love my Promarkers, they were my first colouring medium and I have always stuck with them. I like to experiment with colour combos and shading.

Mojca

Graduation Winston

All of you that know me the answer is obvious ... COPIC MARKERs ♥ I just love them! They blend so beautiful and this cute little owl was a joy to colours :)

Sarah

Rosie and ice cream

I have tried lots of other colouring mediums but always go back to my Promarkers, they just "work" for me. I like the solid tips, how they lay down colour and their blendability.

Squirrel 

I've tried the markers but when I discovered the DI ReInkers for watercolouring I knew I had found MY happy medium.  Occasionally supplemented with pencils for fine detail because I'm not that clever, or patient, with a brush.

Suzette

**coming soon**

Wilma

Cute farm set

My favorite is Copic markers. I love the way they blend.

So now it's over to you.

The Prize - £10.00 Voucher

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite of either a Paper or Non Paper Project.

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing,a nd we're delighted to be welcoming Squirrel to the team.  :0)

Annette

My current favourites are paper projects, although I do like adding non-paper items (like ribbon and lace) onto my projects.  I love the variety of papers you can get and that you can paint your own designs on it too.  I've made a bag-in-a-box for this project, and added some lace around the edges. The handles are made from double sided cardstock, and I've added a little tag with a large flower brad.

Samantha

I love both Paper and No paper crafts but I am choosing Crochet because I can take it anywhere!

Brenda
Cheeky Monkey Kids
I think I have mentioned before that I love many types of crafting.  I love sewing, needle crafts, jewelry making and paper crafts.  I have to say paper crafting wins because I can complete a project much more quickly.  I love all the fun stamps and papers and embellishments that are available.

Elaine
Stanley Dog set

I have chosen a paper project. I love all crafts but at the moment my favouite is cardmaking. I love all the beautiful papers and the many images that are available. 

 

Kat
Party Zara
It has to be paper projects for me as I don't really do any non-paper crafts...not sure where I would find the time!  Plus I LOVE pretty papers!

Lori
Well, this challenge was a difficult one for me, I'll be honest....however...crochet was my very first craft "LOVE" 19+ years ago....so I am gonna have to say that if I had to decide between paper crafting for crochet - I'd pick crochet! :)



Lorraine
Bathtime Bobbi
Although I have tried lots of different crafts including flower pressing, knitting, crochet and painting I always return to Paper Crafting for my crafty fix, I just love creating with paper.

Mojca
Love you tons
Well I love paper projects, especially cards, you can make them so interesting, add a lot of embellishments or make them plain ... there is so many options and that's why I love making cards.

 

Sarah

Ballerina Isla

I try my hand at all sorts of crafts including knitting, crochet and sewing, however I LOVE paper crafting most of all, in particular patterned papers and stamping...you can do soooo much with paper!!

Squirrel

It wasn't a difficult choice for me, having tried many crafts over the years, some more successful than others, I have always come back to papercraft.  I love that you can create something so colourful and/or dimensional from a flat piece of paper!

Wilma
For me it wasn"t a difficult choice: paper! Although I also like to knit or crochet cards remains my favourite.

Bently Bunny

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
