Bunny in the woods

September 14, 2020September 10, 2020 Crafty Rat

This is another "from the stash" card. My brain is still not in card-designing mode at all, which is a bit worrying as I really should be thinking about starting on Christmas cards soon. The bunny and the toadstools are two Some Odd Girl digistamps that I combined on my Mac and coloured during one… Continue reading Bunny in the woods

Critters & snowflakes

December 23, 2019December 25, 2019 Crafty Rat

When I printed out the digis for the mouse and bunny, I did a few extra at the same sort of size. I haven't done much Copic colouring recently and these are all nice simple images that can be coloured without too much effort. I kept the card design similar to the previous cards, but… Continue reading Critters & snowflakes

Critters on snow

December 23, 2019December 25, 2019 Crafty Rat

A mouse for my mum and a bunny for my other half's sister. Some things never change. Copic colouring, fussy cutting, die-cuts and glitter are also a Christmas staple. I was originally going to leave a white border around the edge of the images — apart from any aesthetic choices, that tail is quite tricky… Continue reading Critters on snow

Rainy rabbit

July 29, 2019July 21, 2019 Crafty Rat

Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #07 For this one, I returned to my default, bold, Copic colouring style, taking extra care with the shading. I wanted to create a rainy feel to the background; I laid down a gradient of three blues and then drew sketchy lines over it in the same colours. I… Continue reading Rainy rabbit

Teacup bunny

September 8, 2017September 7, 2017 Crafty Rat

I needed a birthday card for a bunny lover. My other half's sister's birthday is the day after my brother's birthday, so that's two cards that need that extra bit of thought put into them close together. I do have a couple of unused bunny stamps in my stash, but when I saw this bunny… Continue reading Teacup bunny

Melonised wraith

June 17, 2017April 24, 2017 Crafty Rat

It was the middle of a colouring challenge last summer and the call went out to melonise all the things: pick an image and colour it like a watermelon. I could have chosen something simple like a cute little round mouse, but no, I couldn’t take the easy option, I had to pick the wraith… Continue reading Melonised wraith

Purple unicorn Mae

May 15, 2017April 24, 2017 Crafty Rat

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

Christmas: Unicorn Mae

December 29, 2016January 2, 2017 Crafty Rat

I originally coloured Unicorn Mae in October last year and she had been languishing in my stash before finally being put on a card as part of a brief blitz on my PHD (projects half done) box. Her red and blonde colouring suggested she’d fit nicely on a Christmas card, so I got out the… Continue reading Christmas: Unicorn Mae

Misc: Magician Mae

September 6, 2016 Crafty Rat

Inspired by Erica on Instagram, I decided it was time to have a dig through my collections of backgrounds, die-cut pieces and bits of colouring and see if I could match them up and turn them into cards. I’ve seen these piles of odds and ends referred to as UFOs — unfinished objects — but… Continue reading Misc: Magician Mae

Blank: Magic slider card

September 1, 2016 Crafty Rat

Another catch-up post; this card was originally made on May 6th as part of the Clear and Sheer class. A magic slider card has been on my list of techniques to try ever since I first saw one. I’ve come across a few tutorials, but the one from Kelly Marie Alvarez in Online Card Classes’… Continue reading Blank: Magic slider card
