What: Day twelve of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. My first attempts at using Tombow dual brush markers. How: The yellow flowers were done with marker straight to paper and the pink ones were done by scribbling the markers on an acrylic block and applying with a brush and water. I need a… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #12

The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #11
What: Day eleven of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. This is so not what these coloured pencils are designed for. "Perfect for life and nature studies" it says on the tin, not for colouring small fiddly stamped images. Having said that, I am actually quite pleased with how it turned out. Supplies: stamps:… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #11

The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #8
What: Day eight of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. As soon as I got the flower blocks stamp set from Clearly Besotted's latest release, I realised that the outline stamp would be perfect for the colouring challenge. I was originally planning to heat emboss it in white, but when I applied the heat… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #8
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #7
What: Day seven of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. One of the things I love about this challenge is how it encourages you to do the things that you've been meaning to get around to doing and to use the products that have been sitting on the side barely used. I've had all… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #7
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #6
What: Day six of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. Rather than use circles as the basis for my geometric pattern, I raided my dies to find an alternative shape and built the repeating pattern from that. I was determined to keep this one simple and not do any blending, but I couldn't resist… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #6
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #5
What: Day five of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I didn't start out with any particular plan in mind other than a vague idea to use black cardstock as the base. Then I decided to use the Penny Black delightful stamp, which I love and which lends itself well to many different colouring… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #5
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #3
What: Day three of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. In the spirit of the challenge — both getting into the habit of colouring and trying out new things — I pulled the set of Faber-Castell PITT artist pens off the shelf where it has been sitting since my other half picked it up… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #3
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #2
What: Day two of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. The intention was to do a simple colouring-in with no shading or fuss, but then I decided to see if I could blend with Sharpies (yes, as long as the colours are fairly similar)... and then I realised how faint the stamping was and… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #2
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #1
What: Kathy over at The Daily Marker is hosting a 30 day colouring challenge and I am going to have a go. The chances of me ending up having done 30 pieces of colouring at the end of this are pretty minimal, but if I don't try... So, here is a relatively quick piece to… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #1
