Thanks for the offer Willow but I have tons to use already! Did you not want to use them yourself?

I might use a couple myself but I'm clearing stuff out so they'll have to go and I thought you lot might have a use for them

Challenge is : Use your old stuff you've not used before

I have 3 entries so far is that right? If not give me a kick :rotfl:

DD and I have fallen out so very quiet here tonight - you all know how much I hate cooking and I'd made sausage rolls this afternoon - coz they didn't have a Couplands bag round them they weren't good enough for madam and she made so much fuss and stomped off she's got herself banned from the laptop for the evening - mwahahahaha :rotfl:

The current challenge is : it was essential at the time but it's still in the packet - or use your old stuff - you can use new stuff as well if you want - santa didn't bring me any in fact with hubby working 6am till 11pm I was lucky I got anything but the best thing was him letting me give my miserable job up - says something when you would rather be cleaning the windows that sat in colditz

Thats ok then,I never got any new so I,ll use up some of my old stuff[like I always do]:D
My computer usb leads have stopped working and wont let me download off pics off my phone:eek: so I will have to wait till my son comes over ,he will let me know which leads I will have to get off fleabay,lol.
So, I cant actually show any pics on my homepage
I did recieved ,in the post ,yesterday 6 small black butterflies,they are for sticking to clean surfaces,they were a free gift,sample
after wondering what to do with them,I added glitter glue decoration to them,they turned out really great,I made a card with the first one,looks good
Will add to my homepage when I,m able
hugs to all xxx

Giggle, it seems to be down to personal preference, I've just coloured a baby/toddler image and used Blush and Soft Peach Promarkers, it gave a nice colour and the peach for shadows blended nicely. Some of the colouring tutorials on Youtube seem to be way too dark for me, that's a place to check out. I'm waiting for the images to come my way as I forgot to take a piccy for the blog.

All I can say is wow! I opened my secret santa gift today finally and I was amazed at how much brilliant stuff I got! I'm going to blog about it tomorrow but for now I just wanna say a massive thank you to Mad-frog (well that's that the name at the end of the card I got with my pressies)

I use promarkers too and use saffron, blush and satin for skin - they're a bit bright to start off with especially the saffron but they're great colours for Tilda skin HTH

and just to be different ... I use Copics, and use E21, E00, E000 and R20 for some rosy cheeks!

Sorry I havent been on again, things are manic here, working on some samples for craft shop and its taking forever!! ... hope everyone is ok?

I too am a Promarker user and for skin use Coral (only sometimes as it is quite dark), Sunkissed Pink and Blush and Light Fawn Flexmarker. I use more Sunkissed Pink for rosy cheeks. I colour dark to light. HTH Giggle x
