I wanted to make something, but I didn't want to have to think about it too hard. I didn't want to have to contemplate colour blends or even basic palettes. So I reached for a handmade background from my stash — a nice mottled blue-green piece — and a flower stencil. Roses are red: grab… Continue reading Stencilled roses
And that's the last day of the colouring challenge completed. Thirty days and I coloured something on every one - my stack of printed digi stamps is much smaller now, though of course my stack of coloured images is substantially larger 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/Be-kZoDHa8x/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BfBF5MXHVcn/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BfDrnwuniG0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BfG3Z1RH9Z_/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BfI5XJLHZCx/
Only two digistamps from the pile this time, though I do have excuses reasons for the others. I've had the elephant for a while, just not printed out, and that one is destined for a new baby card. The bunnies are for the February challenge from Gerda Steiner (yay! not left until the end of… Continue reading The Daily Marker challenge 21-25
I took a few days' break from colouring digi stamps to finish the Autumn Scenes course from Sandy Allnock's Art Classes; I started it last autumn but then got sidetracked after doing the first two scenes. I have a bunch of classes in my "I paid for this, I must do it" pile — mostly… Continue reading The Daily Marker challenge 16-20
Another five days and we're halfway through the challenge. As well as minimising the stack of digis, I decided to use this as an opportunity to stretch myself a bit. I really enjoy colouring with my Copic markers and simple colouring can be a nice relaxing way to pass the time, but I do want… Continue reading The Daily Marker challenge 11-15
My pile of pre-printed digi stamps is slowly shrinking. I did print one new one though, but that’s for this month’s challenge from Gerda Steiner — I’ll be posting the finished card tomorrow after I’ve taken some photos... https://www.instagram.com/p/BeLc_aNHNun/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeOPOOHHryz/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeQvtLPHzpv/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeTTcKanP-4/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BeV4OIBnjHU/
I nearly missed it. I haven't been checking Instagram recently — the algorithmic ordering causes me ridiculous stress (3 hours, 6 days, 3 days, 6 days, 20 minutes, 2 days etc etc, just show me the most recent ones first!) — and I'd somehow missed Kathy Racoosin's advance announcement on her blog. Luckily I spotted… Continue reading The Daily Marker challenge 1–5
