Having recently got some Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens, I wanted some stamped images to colour in. The WPlus9 Doodle Buds stamp set is a really fun set of flower images, leaves and stems. It's great for a variety of colouring techniques too. I wanted to create a clean and simple card to show… Continue reading CAS with WPlus9 Doodle Buds
There is a fabulous card drive ongoing at the moment, collecting cards to be given alongside a book to parents who have lost a child in pregnancy. I cannot begin to comprehend how utterly devastating it must be to lose a child, and I hope that this campaign offers a little bit of comfort to… Continue reading Lasting Hearts Card Drive
I saw Jennifer McGuire use a technique called 'Reactive Distress Ink Watercolour' and I thought I'd have a go myself. I did struggle a bit with the messy look so I'm not sure if I'd use this technique that often.

I wouldn't normally choose black for a card base, but I'm so glad I did as I love the contrast with the red and gold. How I made this card: I… Continue reading Happy Chinese New Year
I finally got my hands of a set of the Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens this weekend. I've seen these used a lot by other crafters online, and have been thinking about getting some for a while. They aren't that easy to find in the UK so when I found a set of 24… Continue reading Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Pens – First Impressions
I had a lovely stamp set for Christmas and have been waiting for the opportunity to try it out. There is a large floral stamp in the set, and this is something my collection had been lacking. I have a few ideas for techniques where a large stamp is ideal. For this card, I wanted… Continue reading Woodware Watercolouring
I've been trying to use up leftover scraps of paper so decided to make a couple of rainbow chevron cards. Who doesn't love a rainbow? How I made this card? As the chevron cover plate fits an A2 notecard nicely, I cut this size card base to use. I cut the chevron plate from white… Continue reading Rainbow Chevrons
