Altered Wine Box and a Giveaway

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter my candy, I really appreciate it.
I'm giving away some more goodies, but more about that later.
First I'm going to show you about the second project I taught at the September Retreat at The Papeterie. I decided to alter a wine box using Letraset Alcohol Inks.
The thing I like the most about alcohol inks is the fact that they dry almost instantly - no waiting for paints to dry! I have no patience lol
So we started off with a blank wine box and various surfaces - see materials list below.
And this is what we made...
 Materials List:
*#Letraset Alcohol Inks: various blues, greens, yellows and pinks
*Sizzix Fence die
*Tim Holtz Fringe die
*Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die
*Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves die
*Canvas
*Acetate
*Glossy card
*Tim Holtz Tissue wrap
*Aspen White paper
*Buttons
* available at The Papeterie
# available from Letraset

This week I'm giving away a Promarker Skin Tones 1 pack.
All you have to do this time is leave a comment here and add your details to the inlinkz - if you want to spread the word on facebook/twitter/blogland then please do but its not a necessity.

Blue Journal & Candy

well hello there strangers, hope everyone's well, yes I know its been ages - if only there were more hours in a day.
But after all the planning and preparation, the September 2013 Craft Retreat at The Papeterie is all done and dusted and we've already started on plans for the April 2014 retreat, but more of that later.
I taught 6 classes over the course of the weekend - and as Letraset Product Coach for Scotland, of course I had to include some of my favourite letraset products - aqua and neon markers, pro and flexmarkers and alcohol inks. My first class was one I taught twice, once on the Saturday and once on the Sunday morning, an altered notebook.

And I thought I'd have a wee giveaway to apologise for being MIA for so long, so to be in with a chance of winning this pack all you have to do is leave a comment on my post on the Letraset blog so I can see that you've visited, then leave your details on the inlinkz widget below. The draw ends at noon GMT on Saturday 5th October, and a winner will be selected using random.org
