I was so NOT going to buy stuff at the weekend as I want to 'pre-order' my Tim Holtz Distress Markers next weekend (after payday). All I was going to do was sit and watch the Letraset demo at Pinnacle Crafts and hopefully learn a few new techniques...what I hadn't realised was the new DoCraft promotion goodies had arrived and some were demonstrated; what's a girl supposed to do? **BIG sigh**
The latest Creativity mag has a Boofle stamp on the front which I hope to have a play with tonight and there were some money off vouchers for some of the stamps that were used during the demo so I just HAD to make use of those **rollseyes**, I mean - you can't let things like that go to waste...The Michael Powell stamps are rather lovely too but I was fairly good about these and just got one (there was another in the Goodie bag that I bought - hehehe).
Talking about the Letraset Demo day - I had a lovely day watching Andy - yes, I did say Andy - showing how to use Flexmarkers for things other than just colouring in. He did a wonderful job of stepping in as the person from Letraset didn't turn up.
Andy used a variety of images to demonstrate colouring techniques, some stamped some digi...unfortunately we did tease him a bit about some of the buxom ladies from Sassy Designs when he was trying to describe how to shade to create the curves LOL Sorry Andy; but you did take it all in good part...
Something that I wouldn't have thought of doing was to use the Flexmarkers in a similar way to alcohol inks to create background papers, CS and embellies that all co-ordinate - an idea certainly to be tried when I get a few moments to 'play'.
Thank you Andy for making it a very enjoyable & informative day - you did a fabulous job...................................
