Guess what, guess what, guess what??????? :-) A friend called last night and told me that there were markers for 75% off at our "local" Ben Franklin for sidewalk sale days. Like any good stamper/sale shopper, I jumped in the car immediately and drove the half hour to see what I could find. And what a *find* it was!!!! I was able to get 60 markers - half Tombow markers for watercoloring and half promarkers, which are basically non-refillable copics - for 75 cents each!!!! What makes it even better is that I had a $30.00 gift certificate. So I spent $25 for 60 markers. A savings of $155.00. Isn't God good??????? Now, I'll be the first to admit that this example of watercoloring isn't my best work. I need to heat set my ink and I forgot to, so it smeared some. But I was remembering as I went... and it's good enough to send, so I didn't start over. Sometimes good enough is good enough. :-)
I used the sketch from Sketch & Stash and I'm posting it just under the wire, I think. The image is from a new clear set by Sweet n Sassy Stamps called Cocoa's Gift, and you'll notice in the background, I made more "designer paper" with my Impression Obsession Quilt background stamp from Paper Garden Projects.
Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
Blessings!
