Butterflies and Seahorses

As you may know, Kaszazz has a gorgeous new product - Alcohol Ink Art Markers. I have been having a lovely time drawing, colouring, blending and rendering with these gorgeous markers. Unlike the most awesome watercolour markers, Distress Ink Markers by Tim Holtz, these new markers are solvent based and will work on anything including metals, rhinestones, glass and buttons.

Being the based on the colours of the Kaszazz cardstock essentials means we now have 71 colours at our fingertips to colour co-ordinate embellishments to the projects! Plus all the extra colours you could create by blending. And yes, they blend beautifully with those other brands :)

The best ink pads to use with these markers are the Distress Inks or Memento as both waterbased inks.
Below is the Kaszazz seahorse stamp coloured with the Alcohol Ink Art Markers. The background was created with the waves and flourish stamps using Distress Inks.

The other two cards in this photo are my samples (one front and one of the back) from the latest Kaszazz Mega Demo on 6th April. Everyone had a wonderful time blending, stamping and punching to create beautiful butterfly greeting cards.

A Mega Demo is a FREE Kaszazz event where a team of consultants work together to create a big "Make 'n' Take" demonstration.

Just like a craft party you could host at home (also for FREE) except you would be in a hall with a group of friends and other likeminded people at a table hosted by your consultant. Each consultant would have 1 or 2 tables to look after. Everyone makes the same project, enters raffles, enjoys afternoon tea or supper, and receives a $50 Kaszazz voucher (spend $50, choose another $50 FREE).

Mega Demos are always fun - making cards and chatting about craft (amongst other things!)... and they're FREE with no obligation to buy anything.

Look out for a Mega Demo near you :)

Happy Scrappy Day!

Happy Holidays and Super Sales

Wow... time certainly flies really fast these days. It's over halfway through October already!!! I've been a bit quiet lately, but not so quiet I didn't notice Darren's generous idea... Donating calendars to Aussie Helpers. Mind you, that was just yesterday! What a great thing to do. I urge you all to try and help if you can, but if not, pass on the word so that others who don't know Darren can find out how to help as well.

While I was away driving around the countryside of Victoria, I had a few sales!!!! One was a win from a challenge, but the others I have no idea who bought the other items, so a huge THANK YOU goes out to the Universe for buying my work... 2 tees and 2 prints!!!! wOo Hoo!!!!  

Dandilions

Incoming Tide ... a large framed print

Koala Heaven

Koala Heaven was sold to Ravenmadd with many thanks!

Butterflies Galore2 ... a large canvas print


While I was away, I took hundreds of photos, so I'll be sure post some photos very soon! Hopefully, there'll be enough photos to create an animal calendar to compliment my other 2010 calendars.

I've also got the most awesome photo of the moon (if I don't say so myself) and a bit of artwork I created on Sunday. So nice having an Arty Sunday!

Last of all... for those of you who love colouring in, Wacom have a new competition on... Ink Write Win. It may or may not be nearly over, but go on over and have a look. They've not got loads of entries so you've got more than half a chance of winning one of their new Bamboo wacom gadgets!!! Good luck :D 

Thanks for listening / reading all my news. I hope you all have a totally beautiful day!!!

ps... if you go to Loft in the Mill tell them Thelma and Louise sent you!!
