The challenge this week at Arty Girlz is to use your favourite medium, so think of the thing you use most to do your colouring or decoration with etc..
Well lately, as you'll all know, I've become addicted to Pro Markers, I love anything bright and bold and so these work for me rather than pencils etc.
But before my addiction to Pro Markers I loved distress inks, so as a bit of a revival I decided to embrace my 2 favourite mediums, Pro Markers and Distress Inks lol!!
So for my card I used one of the new super cute Wilbur and Albert doggie downloads from Pollycraft. Wilbur has been coloured with Pro markers and the background has been coloured with Distress Inks. Here's a tip for you, the Pro Marker blender pen works wonders at blending Distress Inks, so once I'd done my blue sky I used the blender pen to get rid of 'inky spots' which are common with distress Inks!!
And as an added extra I used Crystal Lacquers on Wilbur's balloons because he had to have shiny balloons didn't he!!The sentiment was printed off my computer using 'Comic Sans MS' font and the green paper was a freebie from Making Cards mag. Oh, and as you get 2 of the same image on the download sheets, I cut Wilbur out and made him a bit more 3D with foam pads.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Love Becky xx

Wow what a fab card. I love Wilbur and the background is fab.
I am getting Pro amrkers off Father Christmas, it was a toss up between them and Distress inks, as the girls play with. .my pencils and drop them. Pro markers have the po
tential to be less messy round them I think!!
Hope you are well.
