Hi Playmates!
It's results week over in the Snippets Playground, so why not nip over there to see who got showcased and who the lucky prize winner is?
I put my Speedball Elegant Writer pen (silver case 1.3 nib) into my satchel this week and during Art Class I stamped and coloured these flowers, then made them into cards.

| Left hand card is DL size. The right hand card was custom made to fit the image and measures: 3.25" x 5.5" |
MATERIALS:
- White snippets for stamping on and black snippets for matting.
- Visible image flower image from Creative Chaos set stamped with Versamark Ink, sprinkled with black embossing powder and heat set.
- Coloured with ink from the Speedball Elegant Writer pen. I scribbled the pen on a non-stick surface and used a waterbrush to pick up the ink and add to the flower image, diluting the ink and dabbing some of it off as I went, in order to achieve different depths and colour splits. I gave the sympathy card a light wash of the ink in the background.
- I also used the EW pen to add a squiggle at the bottom of the flower to ground it.
The pen is great fun to experiment with. I bought mine from an online store beginning with A. There is a link on the GO7 blog page (see HERE) plus lots of info on the pen - and further examples. If you want a UK link to buy a pen see HERE.
It's nearly CONKER time . . . so, as mentioned by Brenda . . . we ought to go conker hunting don't you think? xxx
