Daft Question Alert!

I was persuaded to buy copics on my first foray into colouring and haven't got any promarkers:( but can anyone tell me please are they compatable? ie could I get other colours in promarkers and use both types to colour one image? OR Do the two not mix?

Thank you

Marg, Yes they do and I've used them together on a few images to get the right skin tone. The Copic Flesh Pink is the one I now prefer and they blend really well. I use the Grey C1 for shadow around the image as well and they fade just the same after the first initial colour layer. The pink and green fairy easel card on my blog is coloured with a mix of both. I saw a full set of Copics at Ally Palley, they must have cost an arm and TWO legs!

Giggle - your sweet treat bags are fab - really lovely, bright summery colours!!!

Glittermum - your card is fab - love the ribbon, its a shame you didn't manage to enter the challenge - that always happens to me!

The-Wife - they've sold out on loads haven't they!!! Their Martha Stewart punches are really cheap - especially the "around the edge" kits!! I found this site too for nesties - on special offer 2 for £30 and its free postage if you spend over £35, trouble is I don't think there's much else I'd get from there although they do stock the gorjuss girls decoupage!

I think you've got it spot on, Ali It'll be a smashing prize!

Melissa, thank you for the link to the nesties but they don't the one I am desperate for If anyone sees the inverted scallop nesties at a reasonable price on your travels, please give me a nod.

Off to do something spotty for my sister, Dotty.

Wondering if anyone can give me any inspiration for a 21st card for my niece?? Had a look through my magazines and nothing jumps out - just wondering if anyone has made any in the past and might have blogged it??? Thanks in advance. She is a bit like me and loves her handbags - and in a goody bag I got from Craftwork Cards there was some handbag shaped cards - so if all else fails - I could make something with one of them.

Sounds like a good idea the handbag card, I think it was flourgirl who had made a card with the Radley dog ribbon, it was so cute. Especially covered with some lovely girly paper.

What about something like this or this ali. If you want some radley dogs I can put some in the post, just tell me what colour
