After completing the Winter Storybook mini class from Sandy Allnock over on Art-Classes, I was inspired to go back to the City Sidewalks mini class. I made a start on it last year, though I didn't get past making a card based on the first lesson. Normally I follow along closely with the classes first… Continue reading Snowman in the park
This is the fifth of this year’s Copic-coloured Christmas cards and this one is based on the final lesson in the Winter Storybook class from Sandy Allnock over on Art-Classes. I'm a lot happier with the trees on this card; I made the main one a little more substantial than the ones on the cat… Continue reading Christmas sheep in rainbow forest
This is the fourth of this year’s Copic-coloured Christmas cards and this one is based on the fourth lesson in the Winter Storybook class from Sandy Allnock over on Art-Classes. I really like the graphic mountain range, along with the snowstorm effect. This was definitely one that needed a reference image to work from —… Continue reading Christmas dog in the mountains
This is the third of this year’s Copic-coloured Christmas cards and this one is based on the third lesson in the Winter Storybook class from Sandy Allnock over on Art-Classes. I really need to work on drawing tree shapes; these are verging on spooky rather than wintry. The snow helps though... Like the little sheep… Continue reading Christmas cat in the woods
This is the second of this year’s Copic-coloured Christmas cards and this one is based on the second lesson in the Winter Storybook class from Sandy Allnock over on Art-Classes. There were a couple of minor problems making this one. First off, I forgot to mark out the snow caps before colouring in the first… Continue reading Christmas bunny in the hills
This is the first of this year’s Copic-coloured Christmas cards. I would normally be panicking that I’d only just started but I have a vague plan to do some small batches and if it doesn’t work out then so be it. This year I’m putting myself first and crafting for my own well-being. This is… Continue reading Christmas sheep by lake
This is another "from the stash" card. My brain is still not in card-designing mode at all, which is a bit worrying as I really should be thinking about starting on Christmas cards soon. The bunny and the toadstools are two Some Odd Girl digistamps that I combined on my Mac and coloured during one… Continue reading Bunny in the woods
I finally made a start on the City Sidewalks class at the start of October, though I didn't manage to make it past the first lesson. It's a good job these courses have lifetime access! Rather than leave it lonely on the side waiting for me to do the other four lessons, I decided to… Continue reading City sidewalks #1
After posting the cards made from the Winter Wonderland class images, I realised that I had missed one. When I did the class, I made a second, portrait, version of the scene from the first lesson. I wasn't completely happy with how the centre part of the horizon worked out so I had a hunt… Continue reading Monster snowscape
January was as unproductive as usual — I really need to accept that anything that actually gets done in January is a bonus — though I did manage to do a couple of bits for the Wanderlust 2019 class. February was mostly taken up with doing the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge, which included making… Continue reading Winter Wonderland cards
