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.

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.

Blank card: Blue flowers
What: This wasn't made with anyone particular in mind; it was more a case of using some odds and ends that were lying around.

It's also day four of The Daily Marker… Continue reading Mother’s Day card: Flowers and bunnies

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
