My pile of pre-printed digi stamps is slowly shrinking. I did print one new one though, but that’s for this month’s challenge from Gerda Steiner — I’ll be posting the finished card tomorrow after I’ve taken some photos... https://www.instagram.com/p/BeLc_aNHNun/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeOPOOHHryz/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeQvtLPHzpv/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeTTcKanP-4/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeV4OIBnjHU/

The Daily Marker challenge 1–5
I nearly missed it. I haven't been checking Instagram recently — the algorithmic ordering causes me ridiculous stress (3 hours, 6 days, 3 days, 6 days, 20 minutes, 2 days etc etc, just show me the most recent ones first!) — and I'd somehow missed Kathy Racoosin's advance announcement on her blog. Luckily I spotted… Continue reading The Daily Marker challenge 1–5
The Daily Marker challenge 26-30
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/
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/
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_/
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/
The Daily Marker challenge 1–5
I've been doing some colouring for The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge, picking random digi stamps out of the pile... https://www.instagram.com/p/BYgOtGzH5JY/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYikr1InNrX/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYlNbsXHBk1/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYnl5jGnb4d/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYqB4i4g08C/
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #19
What: Day nineteen of the second Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I’ve had this digi — I actually found it on a site that has printouts for kids to colour — on my to-colour list for a while, but I was worried I wouldn’t do it justice. How: I started out with the idea… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #19
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #27
What: Day twenty-seven of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I finally gave in and bought the cute zodiac set from Mama Elephant and it arrived this morning. I stamped them all, but was only going to colour a couple of them, well that was the plan. But then you do the face on… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #27
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #24
What: Day twenty-four of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I found a pack of cheap Tesco coloured pencils in my stash (no idea where they came from - and don't say "Tesco") and thought I'd see how well they would work. It was a bit hard work to get a solid layer of… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #24
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #23
What: Day twenty-three of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I wanted to have a go at a Copic piece with a simple background — it's not something I've tried before and a lot more practise will be needed before I'm the slightest bit comfortable doing it. Inspired by: The attempt at a background was… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #23
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #16
What: Day sixteen of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. This digi stamp is just so cute and it gave me the opportunity to play around with my little tin of supracolor pencils (need more colours!). Lessons Learned: DON'T USE DOVE BLENDER PEN ON INKJET PRINTED IMAGES - or at least be extremely careful.… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #16
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #15
What: Day fifteen of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I thought I'd take a day off from experimenting and get my Copics out and colour this cute mouse digi stamp from Meljen's Designs. Supplies: digital stamps: Meljen's Designs - little puzzle mouse Copic markers: pink bits - R01, R21 grey bits - W00,… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #15
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #14
What: Day fourteen of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. After I saw Sandy Allnock's beautiful black and white flowers I knew I had to give the technique a go for the colouring challenge. And then I got my Ellie stamp and, well, what better to colour in grey than an elephant... I must… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #14
