I have always said that Power Poppy illustrations are detailed enough that you could get away with just flat colouring with no additional shading; this is the result of testing that theory. I would happily put this on a card as is but, being unable to leave well alone, I will almost certainly tweak it… Continue reading Just coloured: spring meadow bouquet

I've been thinking about it for a while and have decided that now would be a good time to start posting some of my stash of coloured images on the blog. I'm not making so many cards these days — too many already in the stash — but I do still enjoy sitting down and… Continue reading Just coloured: Aurora belle of the ball
This is the first card I've made this year. I should have done another early in January but I had neither the energy nor the inspiration — I shall have to make her a random "just because" card at some point to make up for missing her birthday. I still have quite a stack of… Continue reading Orange poppy
This Christmas bunny is just right for the last of the individual cards I needed to make for those relatives who really appreciate them. The sky background is the first lesson in the Starlight Starbright class from Sandy Allnock over on Art Classes. It's a really simple one, but anyone who uses with Copic markers… Continue reading Christmas bunny
I did think about turning this little dragon into a pendulum card — I'd seen a card by Jennifer McGuire and this digi seemed like a good candidate for the technique. I do like to try out different card styles every now and again, but when it came to colouring him, I changed my mind… Continue reading Dragon on bauble
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
