Looks like the previous thread was removed because of last nights buying frenzy...so I have created a new one.
What did you guys make last night, share it and inspire me.

Oh no - no wonder i cant access it - all those beautiful cards I wanted to refer back to for inspiration have gone! :(
Can someone not just delete the chatter about non sponsors and give us back the rest of the thread so we can see the cards??:(
Maybe - everyone on there who had posted cards as thumbnails and NOT put them in the card gallery could help out and pop them in the gallery now???
I only practised my prisma colouring last night , all my creations are on my blog if that helps :wub:
I know this has been discussed a heap of times before - but regarding prismas and other water colour pencils - is there a HUGE difference in quality between prismas and say - Derwent or sets from other good stationery stores?? (scared to mention names! :unsure: )
I currently use water colour paints - but some of the paper types don't cope with the wetting of the paper for blending! :(
The prismas look great - but expensive and I am wondeirng if - for now while I'm broke - I could get away with a cheaper type of water colour pencils???
I think some poeple prefer the derwent pastel pencil you can get them in the uk. I'm not sure if it was gadget that did sorry if I got that wrong. Maybe they can post a pic of the ones that they use.
I'm not sure about Prismas and those sort of things - it all seems to difficult to me.
I'm using Derwent watercolour crayons at the moment which I'm enjoying using - having a break from my H2Os which I also love but feel these sort of stamps are more subtle somehow.
Is there a video or something about showing you exactly how you use Prismas please? Ignore that doh, Mum2Jam has put something up - thanks
I really dont see any difference in effect with the water colour pencil & the prisma.
I would never pay all that for pencils, I use w h smiths or watercolour paints.
Much prefer a paint brush & an egg cup of water than the water brushes, You dont seem to have control over the amount of water coming out.
I am currently using Derwent water colour pencils, but today my 120 Primacolor Premier Pencils arrived....so now I just need to get some paper stumps and sansador.....per Isa's instructions...so a quick visit to Hobbycraft is in order today.
All my cards are on my blog, the link is below. I made a couple more last night and will post them later.

have fun with your 120.... I'm waiting patiently for mine
Is there a difference, for those that do have the prismas?
Would like to hear your views.
yes me too. i use h2os on mine atm , although going to have a go with water colour pencils & interested if the Prismas do make any difference. Thanks :)
What is the difference between a "tortillon" and a "paper stump" ???
I got the prismas to try out and I have to say I do prefer them to the winsor and newton water colours I was using. To me they worked out cheaper. I have been buying over many years the different water colour blocks and at £2.50+ for a half pan to get the quality of depth in colour needed for the good result the pencils work out cheaper.
I bought the 132 prismas and am still learning to use them but like the results they are giving. The colours are much more vibrant. One I managed to get done.

They come all neatly boxed and are much easier to take to and from hospital at the moment.
That's absolutely gorgeous, I did wonder how the Horse could be used.
I love your shading esp on the wellies. A stunning card.
