The Pink Elephant Challenge....

  Today I finished a new card for "The Pink Elephant"  challenge, which you can find HERE!!   If you are interested in taking part in this week's challenge, then think - AQUA - and pink out your favorite aqua paper or your favorite Aqua markers and start creating.

   I started my card with a new stamp and she is known as "Chloe" and ss from Pink Gem Designs.  Pink Gem Designs is a wonderful online store I discovered over the winter.  I feel in love with the stamps right away and was thrilled when I found out, that Janet,  (the owner/designer) has many US customers and was very happy to ship to the US.   There is a also a currency converter on the main page and she accepts PayPal, which makes ordering a breeze.   The store has wonderful items and a huge selection of wonderful stamps.   Janet has also recently started offering some great digi images .   She also carries a new line of markers, called ProMarkers which I am trying out and so far, they are really nice.  They are more popular currently in the UK, and are are often used along with Copics, as they are both alcohol based.  I tried the skin tone set and a pastel set and I really like the colors.  I played around with them this weekend and loved the fine tip, especially for tiny areas.  I'll bet you'll start to see them more and more in the US too and for those who find Copics simply too expensive, I think these are a great alternative or nice to use along with your Copics too.    If you have never seen or tried them, please hop over to the store and you can find them here!   
    My newest stamp is "Chloe on Swing" and you can find here Here!!   And this is little Chloe all colored in shades of Aqua for the challenge -- 

 
   I think this is such a sweet image and had so much fun coloring her that I actually stamped the image three more times and colored her in three different ways. 

 

  I'll save these and use them for more cards soon, but I am curious, to find out what your favorite color theme is?  Do you like Aqua, Pink or Blue?
   I'm off to now to rest a bit and then may see what other challenges I can find to work on this week?  If you know of any FUN ones, please leave me a comment!
