I have n't gone mad ... I will show you my work desk in a mo ... it is just that the picture was pretty naff so I thought I would show the finished card first :0) This is my entry for the Passion For Promarkers challenge this week where the colour challenge is Poppy red and Forest green.
Those Distress ink fans amongst you will also spot an abundance of Peeled Paint ... I have got a thing about stamping my own background papers at the moment ... I am sure just like all my other things ... this one will pass in time too :0)
All stamps used are by The Artistic Stamper ... the backgrounds and the Mabel Lucie Attwell chappy in his car!
The stitching is faux ... I am loving that word ... faux! I used my inkessentials white pen and my Timmy ... the man that can walk on hot coals with bare feet while making a souffle and grunge paper flowers at the same time ... ruler and pokey tool :0)
Now to the extremely bad piccy of my desk ... this card was on my desk when I entered my craft room this morning in an unfinished state ... along with my ATG gun ... that I LOVE ... and a load of other half finished embellishment things ... that will probably remain half finished until the end of time! I am off to look at other people's desks now ... with the magic of the tinternet and if you all fancy a nosey then just visit Julia's blog ... where every one links up! And if you fancy joining in this week ... well please do ... the more ... the merrier :0)

About your card, yeah sure, that's cool,
I don't like Atwell, as a rule,
But you've a knack for crafty chores,
And no one's cards are good as yours!

Now this is what i call a WORK SPACE. full of goodies to have a nose around, lol
Love the card you have made, just perfect for anytlittle boy.
Had another nose to screen moment before I realised I can maximise the pictures (again) Do you know what a stretch for me that is on my nice new BIG desk? Almost got my boobies in my tea I did. Anyway it was worth it to oggle that stitching - what a cool idea to prick the holes too, am so going to nick that!
Great card, love the patchwork background! Your workspace looks, erm, busy!

I'm new to the Artistic Stamper Creative Team....but I have to say that I saw in your profile that you are a 'challenge junkie'...please stop over to see the new Play Date Cafe Challenge...YOU are just what we need!
Hi There,
I am looking at all the great coloring work and you state that you are using Pro markers. I have not heard of these and I am curious. From the search they are only available in U.K. What are the difference between these and copic? Is it just price! I think I need to have these. If you see this can you tell me more about these! Any suggestions?
