Sakura Pens

This is my first card painting with Sakura pens and I'm totally hooked, when I went to the NEC on Sunday I went to the workshop using the pens to colour with. I have had these pens for a while and just coloured in with them solidly but never used them as a medium for watercolouring, the lady who did the workshop (sorry I forgot her name) was fab she had a great sense of humour and we learnt alot, so now I'm hooked because they are so subtle and shimmer beautiful.

Materials used
Sakura pens
DCWV pink christmas papers
Stamp-Fairy from Craft Companions
Punch-snowflake from Woodware
gems and ribbon from stash.

I have enterd this card in the following challenges Sketch and Stash, love this sketch and the new stash I have used is my Christmas papers brought at the NEC. Cupcake have the theme of snow much fun, Cooking with Kate has the criteria of christmas sparkle and a border ( I inked and added sparkle as a border around the card)
