I’ve been so disconnected recently that I nearly missed the start of the latest Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This is challenge number seven and I’ve taken part in all the previous ones; I haven’t always coloured every day, but it’s always been fun, not only creating, but also seeing what everyone else is… Continue reading Easter: Bunny and eggs
These cards were created on 17th November; day 17 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Yes, even more yetis… The last ones for the moment, but I can’t promise I won’t be using them again 🙂 These were inspired by my other half suggesting that I should have a yeti peeking from behind… Continue reading Christmas: Peeking yetis
These cards were created on 11th November; day 11 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Yes, more yetis… They are a nice, fairly simple, shape which lent itself well to being used for testing a bunch of different ways of adding texture and sparkle, and it would be a shame to waste those… Continue reading Christmas: Yetis with trees
This card was created on 29th November; day 29 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. One family member has a liking for bunnies so I have been keeping my eye out for one to put on a Christmas card for her. This from Stamping Bella caught my eye; it’s not sold as a… Continue reading Christmas: Wobble bunny
These cards were created on 19th November; day 19 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Another couple of quick cards for the Christmas card stash made with the large sentiments; this time I paired them with a cute little poinsettia die set. How: I stamped the sentiments and coloured in the letters using… Continue reading Christmas: Sentiment with poinsettia
These cards were made on 10th November; day 10 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. The yetis were coloured earlier in the challenge. I told you I love these yetis… and these are not the last you’ll see this month. I did try to do something a bit different with each pair though;… Continue reading Christmas: Yetis in a circle
These cards were created on 20th November; day 20 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I picked up this greetings stamp set so I would have some decent-sized sentiments that would work to create any last minute cards that are needed (there are always at least a couple). I made a couple of… Continue reading Christmas: Sentiment with resist background
This card was created on 15th November; day 15 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I love this stamp set by Sandy and I’m so glad I managed to finally get it to the top of my “to be coloured” stamp pile. At this time of year my mind is firmly fixated on… Continue reading Christmas: I heart books
This card was created on 21st November; day 21 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Skimming around Pinterest, I saw a Craftsy article on “watercolouring” with Copics and I was intrigued… I have a small selection of Various ink refills, so I thought I’d give it a go. How: First, open a window. I didn’t… Continue reading Christmas: Painting with Copics
These cards were created on 12th and 13th November; day 12 and 13 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Working my way through some of my unused stamps, I decided to use this poinsettia to make a couple of more traditionally styled Christmas cards. I kept the layouts simple, and stuck to a… Continue reading Christmas: Poinsettia and pine
This card was created on 28th November; day 28 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I made this card with my mum in mind. I’m always on the lookout for cute critters when it comes to creating cards for her, and Diane Carubia’s mice are just adorable. How: I decided to have a… Continue reading Christmas: Poinsettia mouse
This card was created on 30th November; day 30 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This was going to be my entry for this month’s progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs, but I’ve finally been caught out by last minute creations. Normally the link-up is open until the end of the last… Continue reading Christmas: Puppy with gift
This card was created on 4th November; day 4 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I don’t have a lot of full-size background stamps, but I just had to pick up these balloons from Create A Smile. For some reason my brain came up with the bright idea of colouring it and then… Continue reading Thanks: Balloons
I just love these yetis. Last year it was the Create A Smile santa that got used repeatedly; this year it’s these yetis. They are just too adorable. How: First I created a background panel by stamping lots of small images from the beast friends set. Once I’d coloured them, I was very brave and… Continue reading Christmas: Yetis on stamped backgrounds
A bit of a last minute rush to get a card done for the latest challenge from The East Wind. Lots of house tidying and the like had to be done and that combined with trips to the physio and the dentist had pretty much robbed me of any energy recently! But, I missed the… Continue reading Hello: Diva Lisa
