I can't believe I did it... 3 challenges in one card!! ok, so not that big a deal. I've done it before, and so have many of you. But it just happened, and came together, and I was excited about it!
I combined this weeks' CC133
with Wednesday's SC143
and Thursday's WT133
Thank you to Emily, Rox and Julia for providing so many inspiring ideas to get us stamping!
I had colored this image last week with Prismacolor pencils and didn't like how it turned out. This week I received a new order of Tombow pens with some great vibrant colors, so I colored overtop of the Prismas with them and spread the color with water. I then highlighted a bit with a white gel pen. I like how it turned out, and am rather surprised that I could combine the two mediums. Esp since I did not use wc paper, which the markers work better on. I guess the wax of the colored pencils provided a different surface for the water and ink and that is why they spread so well.

Thanks for looking!
