Colouring balloons - and a giveaway

It's my turn to post over on the Letraset blog today, I've done a little tutorial on colouring balloons, the end result was this little card


Now how would you like to win these........ 



Leave your name under this post, then pop over HERE to read my burblings post, and leave a quick comment,  As always, the lovely people at Letraset love to see your comments on their site so the winner of this brand new blending set in the blue colours will be picked from those who have commented on Letraset's site and here. Here's what you will win - I'll pick a winner on Monday 4th August

On a bright note, would you believe that only one of the winners of the blending sets offered last week has claimed her prize, so, as promised unless the missing three suddenly materialize I will be drawing more winners on Saturday morning. I have had a couple of people asking if I could trace the winners by clicking on their profiles etc. Quite honestly I can't be bothered. don't have time They won, they claim, if not it's someone else's good fortune. As you know I write a lot of giveaway posts - taking the photos, writing posts with links etc is quite time consuming, so I am not about to put my Miss Marple hat on - oh dear, does that make me sound mean? So if you enter, get your phone to ping, mark your diary, mark your hand with a sharpie marker - whatever aide memoire you use, don't forget to come back here, it might be you!

See you tomorrow - the video thing is getting a bit ridiculous now, I'll tell you about it, so put the kettle on before you come over x

  1. Great card Enfys!! But I have to tell you I enjoy reading your post just as well. You should write some short stories. Oh wait you already do. :)
    If I was getting some free markers I would be so sad if I had missed out on them. But then again if they read you post all the time then they would know.

  26. I love the tutorial over on the Letraset blog, I feel now that even with my clumsy colouring I could get the effect. Thanks for the chance to win - I promise I WILL claim if I'm lucky - although next week I'll be away from home with no internet access so won't see any announcement until I do a big catch up the week after. As it's peak holiday time, maybe that's what's happened with your winners who haven't claimed?

  30. What's not to love about a simple and easy technique like this, and just in time too. I had been thinking I needed a quick balloon card for a little birthday girl.
    I would be bummed if I forgot to claim a price, but I agree you have to draw a line somewhere. You're already putting in so much work and effort into these posts and cannot be expected to chase after every winner.

  33. Another chance to win, to be honest your posts last week inspired me to get my pens out but I didn't have many so I purchased more, they arrived yesterday. I've even printed a blank promarker chart and coloured in my pens do I can see at a glance what I have :)

  39. Good on you Enfys...... I agree with your comments about people not claiming candy wins. I did notice there were so many more entering the candy draws this time too. If they can't be bothered to check back then its their loss and the new draw winners gain. I visit your blog each morning to read and see what you've created. Love your card and would love to win some lovely blue promarkers. Enjoy your day. Sue x

  54. Wow, I can't believe people don't check back. Even joining to get an email when you post wouldn't require any effort on their part, except opening the email. Too easy. Very cute little card. Looks like the balloons are vellum. Hmmm off to the Letraset blog to see. Thanks for sharing. Hugs Jess

  62. Those balloons look fab. I offered candy on my blog and only two winners claimed. You're giving it away, or at least trying to!! The least people could do is check back. Maybe they don't want it?? Folk can be strange......... Off to Letraset to leave you some love

  74. I would love to win the blue markers. I may not check your blog every day (because of connection issues) but I love being able to go back and catch up. So sorry that someone has won and hasn't claimed for so lucky for the rest of us. I hope I see my name in print.
    How come what you do seems so simple but when I try it just doesn't come out the same? I know, keep trying.

  76. Love the card Enfys, and the coloring technique as well. Thanx for sharing tutorial as I am just starting out with a beginner set of markers. This blue set looks like a wonderful blend of colors. They would be perfect for Chirstmas cards with snowflakes and Winter Scenes.

    If I win any drawing on your blog, and miss out because I failed to respond to the win notification, I would be disappointed ... but more than that, I would be angry with myself. After all, it's your Blog and your rules. You even tell us WHEN you will draw/post the winning names. However, I do hope that those that have not claimed their prizes yet, will do so within the next 24 hours. I'd hate to see them miss out.
