I just had to get some, after seeing some of your gorgeous creations using pencils along side your Promarkers! I really didn't think I would be able to get any this month as its Nige's birthday on Monday & as he doesn't spend any money on himself at all, we were gonna treat him big! Well I knew he wanted a new camera, but the one he was looking at was £600 lol....oh well its ordered now!! Anyhoos getting back to my fab pencils, Nige took me to The Range (which is about 3 minutes drive from our house lololol) & I was looking at the pencils, I ended up having a small pack of Derwent just to try! The card below is what I did on my first attempt! Well I fell in love with them & after telling Nige how fabby they were, he went online last night & ordered me the full set of Prisma's what a darling....he is the best!
Hope you like what I have done with my Lumpy! Warning lots of pics!

I got these gorgeous papers last time I went to the QVC outlet in Shrew & its the first time I've used them!

I still need lots of practice with them, but they do help with colouring, no doubt about it!
