Now obviously I need to work on this lol, it's NOT perfect! I got the idea from this tutorial which actually combines copics and prismas - I rushed off and ordered some Koh-i-noor pencils from Elzybells (sadly they're closing soon) so I could try it myself. I've wanted to try them for ages so the tutorial just gave me a little push ;o) They arrived this morning, so this is my very first attempt at combining the two, hopefully there'll be some improvements when I get the hang of it!
I've used an image from Digistamp Boutique, coloured with a combination of promarkers and koh-i-noors. Cardstock is coredinations, with some stripy paper from my scraps - I had a sort out this weekend and you wouldn't believe the amount of scraps I found! I've added some Doodlebug letter tiles and card candy to finish. This one's for my brother-in-law, so I've kept it simple as I don't think he's all that bothered about anything fussy.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Sweet Sunday Sketch - fab sketch (although I've altered it slightly to fit my letter tiles, hope that's ok!)
- Digistamp Boutique - monthly competition

Lisa this reminds me of my lovely old long gone friend Tilly who had a penchant for sniffing around to see if she could find any glasses left on the floor! Didn't have a glass of her own mind, lol
It's little face is adorable, soooo cheeky.

Great card !
I think you did a great job blending the two mediums and your card came out very well.
This is my first visit and I must admit I love your simplicity. You create enough appeal without making the card busy and cluttered...love your style. I know someone that would probably love your work and is thinking about putting together a DT. If you might be interested contact me cheribabe@gmail.com
Hugz,
