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/

The Daily Marker challenge 21-25
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
The Daily Marker challenge 16-20
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
The Daily Marker challenge 11-15
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
The Daily Marker challenge 6-10
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/
The Daily Marker challenge 1–5
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
In bloom
I was in the mood for two things: using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers — hereafter known as ziggies for the sake of brevity — and doing a bit of heat embossing. After a couple of busy days creating the mouse at the lake card, I had thought that I would keep that… Continue reading In bloom
The Daily Marker challenge 26-30
I did it! I coloured something every day for 30 days. I did fail in one respect though... I had intended to try to reduce the size of my printed digis and unused stamps piles and well... cough... that didn’t quite work out as planned 🙄 https://www.instagram.com/p/BZguzbngL4u/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZjVGIIAaE6/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZlsklagnyW/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZoijtVAFza/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZq6Cg_AE8P/
The Daily Marker Challenge 21-25
Still going! Some more Copic colouring, some heat embossing techniques and a shiny experiment on vellum. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZTu6nQgMBh/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZWdYaGgOUG https://www.instagram.com/p/BZYk07zgt7o/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZbb2StgcFE/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZeIvMZAcrh/
The Daily Marker challenge 16–20
Another five days colouring and another two stamps sets used, along with a digi stamp that I've had for ages. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZGwgwCgl2w/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZJqEepAiMa/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZMC_qPgwWu/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZOu25LA9ik/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZRMMxigvuu/
The Daily Marker challenge 11-15
Another five days of colouring. As well as using my Copics again — and even doing another lesson in the Autumn Scenes mini course — I also did my first bit of coloured pencil work in a long time and even got out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY6Js3AgEV-/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY8xVwAAflZ/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY_Itjng3dS https://www.instagram.com/p/BZBp1bygnl0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZEhe2UA2r_/
The Daily Marker challenge 6–10
I managed to do some more colouring each day, making it a third of the way through the challenge. I even made a few complete cards along the way. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYsn1xzg7_A/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYvlXUhgQ5H/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYx6gZ6gcuv/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY07QWdARLA/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY3rkJ1g0ju/
Teacup bunny
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

I've been doing some colouring for The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge, picking random digi stamps out of the pile... https://www.instagram.com/p/BYgOtGzH5JY/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYikr1InNrX/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYlNbsXHBk1/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYnl5jGnb4d/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BYqB4i4g08C/
Mother’s Day: Pink clematis
It’s Mother’s Day, so that means flowers. And it’s the perfect opportunity to use some of the Power Poppy digis that I’ve accumulated. First up: the climbing clematis. I didn’t have any plan for the card design when I started so I just concentrated on enjoying doing the colouring. Once I’d finished with the Copic… Continue reading Mother’s Day: Pink clematis
