Hey guys, not much time for crafting as we are getting ready to head off on our holidays, but as we had been out this morning and my son hasn't been well so we have had a relatively lazy afternoon with the kids being occupied with one thing or another so I finished off an image which some of you will have seen on Facebook.
The lovely Lou Mac challenged me to use my promakers and after seeing her fab colours in hair I had a play but started with my copics as I love these and wanted to compare.
Well here we go ...

| LHS - Copics RHS - Promarkers |
As you can see the results with both pens were very different, I found the copics blended so much better for me than the promarkers and I found the promarkers very blotchy in comparison!! also I had major issues with the hair! LOL and no I didnt slip and colour in my finger nail!
So after having another co with the promarkers on a different Some Odd Girl image, and using the same 3 promarkers, I then ended up with 2 different shades of hair colour!!! Not sure how that happened? the only difference I made was the girl was done light to dark, and the guy was done dark to light.
Picture quality is poor as I took it on my phone at silly o clock!!
So needless to say not liking the promarker images much I chucked them in the bin and finished colouring the copic version
I am totally loving the blue hair, some will think I have gone crazy but hey its nice to be different!! I even have a friend who had blue hair!! (Yes K I mean you!)
and the final card ...
Loving the fairly simple layout, I may have to add some more pearls as it looks a bit odd in the photo but looks great in real life!
The sentiments were a pressie from a friend and are PTI, the papers are MME and the image is Some Odd Girl. Hope you like it, and if you don't tough cause I love it and think I might end up making a few more! lol

Awwwww shucks I'm famous now, loving the colouring. Having blown up the pics to see the comparison easier I can see you went over the edges slightly on occassion with the promarkers but not the copics ... does that mean that the copics are easier to use/have better nibs?
p.s have topped up the blue dye again so back to blue rather than green ;-)
Its gorgeous. I too like the effects with copics over the promarkers, so different and definitely softer blending. Love the finished card. Might have to get some of those little images. Hope your wee boy is feeling better Tams.

Whoa Tams! Getting a little spunky there! I love the blue hair, wish I had the courage to put a pink stripe in mine irl. Your card is very cute and I hope your little one feels better soon.
brilliant blue hair, fabulous colouring
It's gorgeous! Nothing wrong with blue hair, I've now got Cosmic Blue hair. Well it's black with a blue sheen, but def blue when a light's on it. lol Zo x
I LOVE blue hair!! The Kenny K images in particular look fabulous with unusual hair colours :-D
Don't tell anyone but I blend the few promarkers that I own with my copics and that normally looks OK. Wonder what the new brush tip Promarkers are like??

P.S Hope your son is feeling better
Thx for sharing that Tams - I've got both and love both but for different reasons!
Gerat great card - she is soooo funk esp with the blue hair!
I'm totally with you with Copics vs Pro Markers Tams. I'm definitely a Copics gal but don't think I'll be throwing my PM in the garbage...might put them up for sale! xx
I love this card Tams and especially her hair! Young and full of energy :) Your coloring looks fabulous. Hope you're having a fab vacation!
