Creative Inspirations 50 - Promarkers vs Aquamarkers

For our first new challenge of 2011 at Creative Inspirations we are being sponsored by our new monthly sponsor
Photobucket 
who are giving a $10 voucher to our lucky winner!
We are also lucky enough this week to have a second sponsor - 

who will be sending our winner a stamp from their new Valentine's collection! So what do you have to do to win - easy just use something new on your project Papers, stamps, embellishments - anything as long as it's new. Here's your chance to use some of your Christmas goodies - what are you waiting for??

For my own card I used two new things, firstly a new Tilda image which I received as a Secret Santa gift and secondly my new Aquamarkers which Lynsey gave me for Christmas. I had wanted to try Aquamarkers for a while - I love my Promarkers and use them practically every day but I also love a watercolour effect and was keen to see what I could do with the new pens. I stamped my image twice and coloured one with Promarkers and one with Aquamarkers  - what do you think? I wasn't sure which I liked the best but maybe I don't have to choose,  they are both great pens and am just happy to have more to play with!

So here is my finished card, the papers are from Papermania, the flowers are a mix of Prima & Petaloo and the sentiment is Stampin Up.

Hi Jenni
Love both effects I think the Promarkers have a bolder almost cartoon look and the aquamarkers are more subtle, a lovely watercolour finish.
The card is fab.
Love Gillian x

This looks stunning. I have aquamarkers, but aren't keeping them because I don't like the result. Maybe I'm using the wrong paper?
