I love the Gorjuss girls. There’s something about the simplicity of the faces and the poses that is really appealing.

Watercolour butterflies
Browsing around YouTube one day, I came across this watercolour-stamped card and was inspired to create my own version. I do have the set Dawn uses for her card, but I like to avoid duplicating other people’s cards too closely, so I went hunting for some other solid stamps in my collection and found some butterflies…
Hello: Bird and bee
The frenzy of Christmas card making, Christmas itself, and New Year always combine to leave me run-down and uninspired in January.

Hello: Polaroid mermaid
I swear that next month, whatever image Gerda gives us for the progressive challenge, I am just going to colour it and put it on a card base1. That was, more or less, my intention this month, but then I saw all the creative things that people were doing with this scene and I wanted to do something different if I could. I was still planning on doing something simple when I started tidying up after creating another card… and there was a spare Polaroid die-cut on the desk… doomed…
Hello: Bunny with gift
Another catch-up post; this card was originally made on February 4th as part of the Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge.
I am slowly working through my backlog of digi stamps and using them to experiment with different mediums. This is my first proper attempt at colouring with Stabilo markers.
