All the 2’s

This weeks Passion for Promarkers challenge is called "all the 2's" Everything on your card must be in 2's.
I made the following easel card using a House Mouse image, coloured of course with Promarkers.
See previous post re storage...
My list of 2's is:
2 Mice on my image plus 2 candles
2 colours - pink and yellow
2 messages mounted on scalloped circles
2 Retro daisies with circular centres
2 yellow candi
2 pink candi
2 colours of glitter - yellow and pink
2 papers from the same range - a DCVW stack

Storage for ProMarkers

I have been trying to find the perfect storage solution for my Promarkers. Unlike the Copics which come in clear plastic boxes, the promarkers are all loose.
Lynn made a lovely basket for hers with stitched pockets.
I looked at all the tool bags (workmens bags) etc, but could not find one that would work.
Then I had a brainwave - I got this cleaning storage unit from Matalan for £3.00 and was going to stitch an insert for it but another idea worked and much better! Read on.....

And how are they held?
Volvic water bottles, the 1.5l variety, cut down to size and will hold up to 20 pens each.


Being removable, you can easily make your colour selection.
Next I am going to print and colour in a chart and stick them to the relevant areas.

What do you think?
