Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #05 I used the full version of this digi stamp to make a birthday card for my mum last year. I coloured this one without looking back at what I'd done before and it turned out completely different: none of the colour choices or shading patterns are the same.… Continue reading Bee on blackberry flowers
Soon I'm going to run out of blackberry images to use of cards for my mum, but not this year: I have one digi stamp left unused. I decided what I was going to do for this year's card quite a few weeks ago, but, of course, I left it until the last week before… Continue reading Birthday blackberries
I nearly didn't make this card. I'm really not a fan of gnomes — I've only ever made one other card with gnomes on it and that was done with a particular person in mind — and I didn't want to make a card I am unlikely to use (my card stash is big enough… Continue reading Gnome wedding
I finally came up with a design for the wedding card! I had been pondering ideas ever since we were told that my other half’s niece was having a Harry Potter themed wedding. Should I go the mixed media route and create a bouquet around a wand, should I do a card with patronuses, or… Continue reading Harry Potter wedding
Just a cute reindeer prancing across the snow. I coloured this during the Daily Marker colouring challenge and have actually got around to putting him on a card. I loved how the colouring turned out on this, especially around his head, so I didn't want to distract from him too much by making the card… Continue reading Prancing reindeer
For me, dimension pretty much means popping something up on foam tape on the front of a card. There have been a few exceptions — an action wobbler here and there and a box card that I now realise never made it onto the blog (adds to todo list) — but certainly nothing that wouldn’t… Continue reading Wedding: Mixed media
Another catch-up post; this card was originally made on March 21st, although the monsters were coloured at the start of February during the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge. When I picked out the monsters stamp to colour, I knew that it would end up on a birthday card for my younger nephew. Designing cards for adult… Continue reading Birthday: Monstrous party
Another catch-up post; this card was originally made on February 27th. This card was for my mum. For her, it always has to be "Mothering Sunday" rather than "Mother's Day" — something which made finding store-bought cards increasingly tricky. Rather less traditionally, there also have to be some cute critters on there. How: I love… Continue reading Mothering Sunday: Bouquet and birds
What: Day 2 of the third 30-day colouring challenge and I created a variant of yesterday's background and added some sweet foxes. How: I stamped a random collection of leaves in archival black ink. I then wet just the leaves with clear water, sprinkled over some Brusho powder and moved the colour around with a… Continue reading Hello card: Autumn leaves with foxes
What: A fiftieth birthday card for someone who loves bunnies. What better to do than make a card with fifty bunnies on it in the shape of the numbers five and zero. How: That thought process was quickly followed by the sensible part of my brain thinking that one large bunny holding a sign saying… Continue reading Birthday card: Fifty bunnies
