I did it! I coloured something every day for 30 days. I did fail in one respect though... I had intended to try to reduce the size of my printed digis and unused stamps piles and well... cough... that didn’t quite work out as planned 🙄 https://www.instagram.com/p/BZguzbngL4u/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZjVGIIAaE6/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZlsklagnyW/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZoijtVAFza/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZq6Cg_AE8P/

The Daily Marker Challenge 21-25
Still going! Some more Copic colouring, some heat embossing techniques and a shiny experiment on vellum. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZTu6nQgMBh/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZWdYaGgOUG https://www.instagram.com/p/BZYk07zgt7o/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZbb2StgcFE/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZeIvMZAcrh/
Spotlight embossed flowers
Inspired by Seven Hills Craft's September challenge, I thought I would have a go at spotlighting not only the colour but also the embossed outlines. Technically, this turned out pretty much how I hoped it would. If only I had remembered to keep my hand out of the still-damp marker, which meant I had to… Continue reading Spotlight embossed flowers
The Daily Marker challenge 16–20
Another five days colouring and another two stamps sets used, along with a digi stamp that I've had for ages. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZGwgwCgl2w/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZJqEepAiMa/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZMC_qPgwWu/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZOu25LA9ik/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZRMMxigvuu/
Mouse at the lake
I had decided to be a bit more organised this month and not leave the Gerda Steiner progressive challenge until the last few days, so, with the Autumn Scenes mini Copic class still in mind, I thought I would create a scene with the mouse sitting in front of a window with a hillside full… Continue reading Mouse at the lake
The Daily Marker challenge 11-15
Another five days of colouring. As well as using my Copics again — and even doing another lesson in the Autumn Scenes mini course — I also did my first bit of coloured pencil work in a long time and even got out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY6Js3AgEV-/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY8xVwAAflZ/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY_Itjng3dS https://www.instagram.com/p/BZBp1bygnl0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZEhe2UA2r_/
Three strand bracelet
This was the result of two things meeting: my desire to try something different to kickstart my mojo which was in a dire slump after Christmas and my need for a birthday present for my brother's other half. She likes jewellery, I'd never made jewellery before. Perfect match 🙂 I didn't completely throw myself in… Continue reading Three strand bracelet
The Daily Marker challenge 6–10
I managed to do some more colouring each day, making it a third of the way through the challenge. I even made a few complete cards along the way. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYsn1xzg7_A/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYvlXUhgQ5H/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYx6gZ6gcuv/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY07QWdARLA/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY3rkJ1g0ju/
Teacup bunny
I needed a birthday card for a bunny lover. My other half's sister's birthday is the day after my brother's birthday, so that's two cards that need that extra bit of thought put into them close together. I do have a couple of unused bunny stamps in my stash, but when I saw this bunny… Continue reading Teacup bunny
Autumn sheep
It's time to make a birthday card for my brother again and every year it gets trickier to find suitable images without repeating myself. I had a browse through my collection of digi stamps and came across this happy-grumpy pair of sheep. I wanted to work on the texture for the sheep so I started… Continue reading Autumn sheep
