Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #16 I try not to rely too much on the same Copic marker combinations. Mostly I'm quite successful, I generally try to refer to my hex chart for choosing colours afresh each time. And quite often if I use someone else's combination it never looks the same; everyone colours… Continue reading Desert fairy
And we're back with Anneliese Bates (Instagram) for the last week of the Wanderlust "steampunk" theme. I had put off doing the steampunk lessons because, after having a quick look, I realised that most of them were going to be more time-consuming than the average art journal page.

When I picked the words to go with this one, I was originally thinking that he was… Continue reading Raccoon in a bin
Another birthday card and once again my inspiration for card-making has deserted me. And it's for a guy so, of course, absolutely nothing in my stash is suitable. Luckily I have my secondary stash of coloured images to fall back on. A quick sort through and I settled on this cute dinosaur and his stack… Continue reading Dino birthday
