What: Day twenty-five of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. A quick one today as it's my birthday and I plan on doing as little as possible. Inspired by: I saw something similar go past in my feeds the other day, though they die-cut masking paper over the card and coloured over that whereas… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #25

The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #24
What: Day twenty-four of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I found a pack of cheap Tesco coloured pencils in my stash (no idea where they came from - and don't say "Tesco") and thought I'd see how well they would work. It was a bit hard work to get a solid layer of… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #24
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #22
What: Day twenty-two of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. While collating ideas for new challenge entries, I saw a couple of Copic-on-vellum creations pass by in my Instagram feed; it's something I've been meaning to try and so that's what I sat down to do this morning. Lesson learned: Overly juicy Copic markers… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #22
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #18
What: Day eighteen of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I started off with the intention of doing a simple panel with the flower, a couple of leaves and a sentiment. How: I got out the Gelatos that have been sitting on the shelf unused and, well, these are going to take some practise...… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #18
Birthday card: Make a wish
What: I recently got some new stamps from Uniko Studio, including one multi-layer flower, which I really wanted to try out. This is the first time I've used Versamark as an ink in its own right rather than to stick embossing powder to. I didn't originally plan on putting the stripes on the background, but… Continue reading Birthday card: Make a wish
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #12
What: Day twelve of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. My first attempts at using Tombow dual brush markers. How: The yellow flowers were done with marker straight to paper and the pink ones were done by scribbling the markers on an acrylic block and applying with a brush and water. I need a… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #12
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. The flowers were a Copic practice piece; the background was made by mopping up the overspray after testing my new Color Bloom sprays; the frame was made from some new pearlised… Continue reading Blank card: Blue flowers
The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #5
What: Day five of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I didn't start out with any particular plan in mind other than a vague idea to use black cardstock as the base. Then I decided to use the Penny Black delightful stamp, which I love and which lends itself well to many different colouring… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #5
Mother’s Day card: Flowers and bunnies
What: After thinking I had loads of time before Mother's Day came around, this morning I suddenly realised that it is next weekend and, as I hate having to rush things, I really ought to pull my finger out and get a card done for my mum. It's also day four of The Daily Marker… Continue reading Mother’s Day card: Flowers and bunnies
Mother’s Day card: watercolour flowers
What: Rather than creating a straight-line panel, I used stamps and masking to build up a flower pattern following the basic angled shape and then fussy cut around the flowers. This was my first attempt at slightly more complex masking and I'm rather pleased with how it turned out, though fussy cutting Distress watercolour paper without… Continue reading Mother’s Day card: watercolour flowers
