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
Time for mum's birthday again and I've used most of my critter stamps in the past, so this year I've done something a little different. A couple of years ago she was running low on her card stash and hadn't been able to get out to pick up a card for my other half's birthday,… Continue reading Mouse among blackberries
Series: Mandala Makers 2020 #1 Oh what a time... I would put more of a definitive timescale on that but my sense of time has become even more broken than usual over the last few months. I had an actual face-to-face (or mask-to-mask) physio appointment a few weeks ago (good thing) and now have some… Continue reading Mandala #1
The last three years I have made "clever" cards for my other half's birthday — twist and pop, interactive, and tunnel — but nothing had inspired me for this year. I had a hunt around Pinterest and really nothing was sparking any ideas. So I had to go back to basics. I've had the Lucy… Continue reading Voyage to Venus
When I printed out the digis for the mouse and bunny, I did a few extra at the same sort of size. I haven't done much Copic colouring recently and these are all nice simple images that can be coloured without too much effort. I kept the card design similar to the previous cards, but… Continue reading Critters & snowflakes
A mouse for my mum and a bunny for my other half's sister. Some things never change. Copic colouring, fussy cutting, die-cuts and glitter are also a Christmas staple. I was originally going to leave a white border around the edge of the images — apart from any aesthetic choices, that tail is quite tricky… Continue reading Critters on snow
