I was going to skip the challenge over at Country View Crafts this month - humour is something I struggle with on cards. But then, at the last minute, I thought why not push myself and make something... I've had this stamp set for a while - I'd put it on my Amazon wish list… Continue reading Morning people
The last of my catch-up blog posts! Assuming that I haven’t made more cards than I’ve blogged between scheduling this post and it being published, I am completely caught up. Ahem. This is the last of my catchup blog posts that I had intended completing before I started the 30-day colouring challenge in September. I… Continue reading Monster and teddy
This is the last of the cards I made for the Sparkle & Shine class. There are still a few techniques that I will get round to trying at some point, but I was just about glittered out by the time I got to this one 🙂 I created an ombre effect on the hexagons… Continue reading Glitter hexagons with love
I'm used to using glossy accents to highlight eyes or make balloons shiny and things on that scale. I had never thought of using thin lines of it to create rain or water ripples though. For this card, I got out the pico embellisher instead of the glossy accents; it's much more liquid and comes… Continue reading Make a splash
Another little piece of colouring from a previous Daily Marker colouring challenge. This sad little pusscat didn’t really need much embellishment, so I just cut the panel down and mounted it flush on a pearlised card base. Finding a sentiment that matched with the image was the hardest part, but I think this one works… Continue reading Rainy cat
This pencil-coloured unicorn Mae had been sitting around for almost a year before finally being put on a card as part of my brief blitz on my PHD (projects half done) box. I did some tone-on-tone stamping for the lines on the card base and stamped the sentiment over the top of them. The sparkly… Continue reading Purple unicorn Mae

This was created on 19th July: day 15 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Like a lot of the cards I created during the colouring challenge, I didn’t start out with any real idea of what the final card would look like; I was just colouring images for the fun of colouring. This… Continue reading Ice-cream & Polaroid beach scene
This cute hedgehog wrapped up warm in his chunky scarf is the image for October’s progressive challenge from Gerda Steiner Designs. I have to give credit to my other half for coming up with the great pumpkin idea; I love how it turned out. How: I printed the hedgehog on Neenah solar white and coloured… Continue reading The great pumpkin hedgehog
I did originally have a far more complicated interactive design in mind for this little parachute piggy. I got close to making it work, but then time was running short and my brain gave up on me, so I decided to keep it simple this month. How: I printed out a couple of piggies on… Continue reading Misc: Just dropping by…
