Morning folks..have you got the Monday morning blues...I can't say I blame you after the horrendous wet weekend we had but I was all cosy and snug over at
The Papeterie on Saturday doing what I love best and thanks to all the lovely folks who came along and sat patiently watching while I played with
Distress Markers and gorgeous stamp sets from Creative Expressions designed by the lovely and very talented Sam Poole...
I set myself a challenge to make the demo cards entirely with the Distress Markers...no ink pads Distress or otherwise and no patterned papers allowed so all the stamping...colouring and background effects were created using these fabulous must-have very versatile pens and once I started I couldn't stop playing so prepare yourselves for a Distress Marker pic fest...
I couldn't resist sneaking in a little bit of Perfect Pearls misting...
I'll be back tomorrow to share what we made in the afternoon Tim Holtz Masterclass Workshop...lots of messy inky fun
Hugs Kath xxx
Edited to add: if you live in my neck of the woods...Charlotte at
The Papeterie has a fantastic deal on the set of Markers...honestly folks...a price that will match or better in lots of cases anything that you will find online.
...amazing!...to think that 99% of what you've shown the girls is with those pens alone makes them the best value for money ever spent!...& Kath, loVe your creative mind! these are super piccy's, beautiful makes adore the blue card sooo yummy...I have to hope I get those pens for my birthday, August isn't to far away now...thank you for such an inspiring post...Mel :)
ReplyDeleteCan you clone yourself and do some classes down here :)
Good morning Kath. I LOVE your cards, each one is so pretty. Clever use of the Distress markers, these are so much more than a set of pens, I've been trying to be good this month too but I may be tempted now to treat myself sooner.tfs
ReplyDeleteabsolutely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kath - Thanks for a great demo and class on Saturday. Learnt a lot so now to put into practice at home :)
ReplyDeleteSome stunning cards,Kath.
ReplyDeleteGosh Kath I wished I lived closer I would have loved to of come to this class, I can't really get the hang of these markers!! Your samples are stupendous!! Hugs Susan x
ReplyDeleteMorning Kath,
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely stunning. You need to put some tutorials on your blog re the Markers. I love mine but I'm not getting these results.
I've been hmm-ing and ahh-ing over these stamps, you've just made my mind up for me - Thanks! Have a great week, love Linda x
Absolutely amazing work Kath! I have just bought the Creative Expressions Bubble Wrap background stamp so you've given me some great inspiration!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness me. Who would have thought that the distress markers could produce such wonderful results. So much gorgeous inspiration and your cards really show the versatility of the markers to the max!
ReplyDeleteWow, Kath..such beautiful cards and stunning background effects...and all from a simple set of markers...your creativity is infinitessimal!! Any tips would be gratefully received! Hugs, Janet xx
ReplyDeleteA terrific feast indeed - the first is definitely my favourite - just love the colours of that & the way you included buttons on them.
ReplyDeleteHope you manage to recharge the batteries - think my threat of wearing bikini & shorts scared the punters into buying books so they'd not have to see the sight!

Thanks for a super class on Saturday. I am inspired. I have cut my tags and am ready to roll.
ReplyDeleteSaw Sam Poole am on tv this morning Wasn't sure about the stamps but you have kinda changed my mind with this selection.
Gorgeous samples you've made with your Distress Markers Kath. Love them all, gorgeous colours. After 2 days with the grandkids and one day catching up with washing and ironing and of course blogging I'm itching to make something. Maybe tomorrow!!
