This card was created on 8th November; day 8 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. The latest challenge from The East Wind is a little different; rather than specifying a particular technique or element to incorporate, this time the challenge is to create a project based on a memory in honour of Alzheimer’s… Continue reading Christmas: Trimming the tree

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 was created on 7th July: day 3 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. What is it with all the masculine cards in the middle of summer? This one was for my neighbour, who does like an occasional tipple; I didn’t have any whisky bottle images to hand, so had to go with… Continue reading Birthday: Cheers
This little spidey is just sooooo cute! I didn’t have a plan for him when I coloured him, but I quickly realised that he would be perfect as the centrepiece of a birthday card for a friend of ours. How: I printed spidey out, coloured him with Copic markers and fussy cut him out. I… Continue reading Cute Spidey
This was created on 6th July: day 2 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This card was directly inspired by Kathy Racoosin’s colouring book card on day one of the challenge. It’s nice to find a use for some of the pages from the various colouring books I’ve bought and been given.… Continue reading Just a Note: Colouring page
This was created on 13th July: day 9 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. These art deco style roses were a little time consuming to colour — there are a lot of tiny areas in there — but I love the designs. I may have gone a bit overboard with all the faux… Continue reading Blank: Art deco roses
The colouring was done on 12th July: day 8 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Another cute free digi stamp from Just Inklined and some more Copic colouring; I do use other mediums occasionally, but I have to say that me and Copics just get on 🙂 I didn’t have a plan for… Continue reading Thanks: Red-headed girl
This card was created on 30th July: day 26 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I loved the black-stamped version of this bear so I decided to be brave and make one of my infrequent attempts at no-line Copic colouring and try to recreate it using the same colour palette. For me, no-line… Continue reading Birthday: No-line bear
This card was created on 29th July: day 25 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I was going to be good about buying more stamp sets — I have a pile of ones waiting to be inked up — but these bears! How could I resist… How: For a change, I decided to… Continue reading Birthday: Bear and balloons
This was created on 14th July: day 10 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. It’s hard to resist the opportunity to colour a rainbow and this lacy flower stamp just cried out for layers of colour. This was also a bit of an experiment to see how well colouring would work on the… Continue reading Thinking of you: Rainbow lacy flowers
This was created on 1st August: day 28 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. These kitties have so much personality and attitude. When I first saw them I immediately thought the skinny one looked shocked, like maybe he’d just found out someone’s age, and the idea for the card developed from there. How:… Continue reading Birthday: Alley cats
This card was created on 5th July: day 1 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This design had been on my list of things to try for ages — a simple blended panel with silhouetted images over the top — but nearly all my flower stamps were outline images and I didn’t want… Continue reading Sunset silhouette flowers
The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge is back. Or at least it will be soon. Kathy Racoosin has just announced that the next challenge starts on November 1st and continues for the whole of the month, which is conveniently thirty days long making it near impossible to lose track of how far through the challenge… Continue reading Get your markers ready…
This card was created on 11th July: day 7 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. In response to the political mess in the UK following the EU referendum, my initial thought was to just add a single word expletive as a sentiment for this kitty, but I decided to fake some positivity instead…… Continue reading Misc: Hang in there kitty
