I was able to use ProMarkers to match the color of the stocking with the patterned paper at
the top of the card. I used Lime Green, Pear Green, Marsh Green, Poppy and a gray of some sort to do the shading with the Poppy. I used the blender pen some and not sure I liked the look it gave but over all I still like the stocking!The patterned paper at the top was some I got at Stamp Club and is part of this month's challenge. I used the Stampin Up scallop border punch on it and then also on some kraft cardstock. I curled the scallops up a little.
The burgundy paper is from Fancy Pants Holly Jolly collection. I believe it came out Christmas before last.
I really wanted to show you were I used flocking on the white dots but not sure it
shows up well in the picture. It might show better if you click the picture and make it bigger.You can see the shading a little better in this picure. It really is easy to make something look good with the ProMarkers. I am sure if I was a better artist it would really rock but since I am not...well heck I still think it looks prety darn good!
I didn't have any room for the sentiment on the front since I didn't want to
block any of the whimsical stocking. The stamps used on the inside of the card were part of the set and I like how adding the extra images with the sentiment made the inside look.So what are you guys thinking about the ProMarkers?

ReplyDeleteSo cute. I loved that company and their stamps too. I read somewhere that someone bought the co. and then discontinued the stamps.Seems silly!
