What: Day 2 of the third 30-day colouring challenge and I created a variant of yesterday's background and added some sweet foxes. How: I stamped a random collection of leaves in archival black ink. I then wet just the leaves with clear water, sprinkled over some Brusho powder and moved the colour around with a… Continue reading Hello card: Autumn leaves with foxes

Birthday card: Fifty bunnies
What: A fiftieth birthday card for someone who loves bunnies. What better to do than make a card with fifty bunnies on it in the shape of the numbers five and zero. How: That thought process was quickly followed by the sensible part of my brain thinking that one large bunny holding a sign saying… Continue reading Birthday card: Fifty bunnies
Birthday card: Snoopy on a bike
What: Time to come up with an idea for a card for my brother’s birthday. How: I started out by looking for a motorbike digital stamp to use as the basis for the card, but couldn’t find one that was neither too realistic nor too cutesy; however I did find some images of Snoopy on… Continue reading Birthday card: Snoopy on a bike
Birthday card: Bunny in a field
What: When I made a new baby card with this bunny my other half’s mum said she wanted one, so this is for her birthday. How: I started by stamping the bunny in Memento ink, colouring it with Copic markers and fussy cutting it out. To add some texture, I moistened a bit of microfibre… Continue reading Birthday card: Bunny in a field
Blank card: Framed dragon
What: Catching up on day 3 of The Daily Marker Pop-up Challenge and I created a framed background for another piece from my colouring stash. How: I coloured the dragon with Copics some time ago, but hadn’t come up with a suitable card to put it on. It seemed like the perfect piece to use… Continue reading Blank card: Framed dragon
Birthday card: fox and raccoon
What: A birthday card for a male friend, hence the lack of sequins 🙂 How: I die-cut a piece of Copic-friendly card using a stitched square die and stamped the fox and raccoon in Memento ink. After I finished the colouring I gave the clouds a very light spritz with colourless blender to soften the… Continue reading Birthday card: fox and raccoon
Birthday card: Robot and coffee
What: It’s that time of year when I have to come up with an idea for a birthday card for my other half. It had to have a shaker element, as he has liked the ones I’ve done so far (and didn’t want to give away the first one I did). He likes sci-fi and… Continue reading Birthday card: Robot and coffee
Smile: Watermelon kid
What: My second entry for Gerda Steiner’s monthly challenge; as she was kind enough to provide two digital stamps this month, it seems only fair to make cards with both of them. How: The digital stamp was printed and coloured with Copic markers. I found a label die that fit it perfectly and die cut… Continue reading Smile: Watermelon kid
Birthday card: Shiny googly-eyed bunny
What: A cutesy birthday card with all the shiny thrown at it for my neighbour. How: I sketched out the rough layout I wanted, fussy cut some masks and used them to figure out the correct stamping order for the bunnies, cupcake elements and flowers. I stamped the bunnies and cupcakes with Memento ink and… Continue reading Birthday card: Shiny googly-eyed bunny
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #30
What: Day thirty of the second Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. A thank you to Kathy Racoosin for running the challenge and somehow finding the time to comment on everyone's pictures. How: The hardest part about making this card was leaving so much white space on it. I made a card base from Neenah… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #30
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #26
What: Day twenty-six of the second Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. A birthday card for a cat-owning friend and one of my favourite cards. How: The first thing I did was stamp each of the cat stamps on masking paper and fussy cut them out. The background panel was built up from the bottom… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #26
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #21
What: Day twenty-one of the second Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. Our neighbour is in hospital for a few days and I wanted to make a card for her to hopefully raise a smile.

The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #20
What: Day twenty of the second Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. A graduation card for when my brother gets his results from Uni in a couple of weeks.

I was… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #20
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #19
What: Day nineteen of the second Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I’ve had this digi — I actually found it on a site that has printouts for kids to colour — on my to-colour list for a while, but I was worried I wouldn’t do it justice. How: I started out with the idea… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #19
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #18
What: Day eighteen of the second Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. A quick Copic-coloured vase of flowers.
