The Beautiful Friends stamp set from Clearly Besotted is a lovely set for colouring in, and I thought I'd try a different colouring technique, combining promarkers and colouring pencils. How I made this card: I stamped the image in pale pink memento dye ink, then adding some base colour with promarkers. I then added detail… Continue reading Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Beautiful Friend Blossom
MFT have a colour challenge on their blog and this time the colour palette is red, pink, grey and blue. I liked the combination so thought I'd have a go at making a card with the falls florals set and these colours. I decided to combine the MFT sketch challenge too. How I made this… Continue reading MFT Fall Florals and Colour Challenge
I love orange poppies and thought it would be fun to make a background of orange poppies to use on a card. A bit of a change from the usual red poppies.

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. It was fun to try, though, and shows how amazing distress inks are for different… Continue reading Reactive Distress Ink
I started this card with the intention of trying a technique I'd seen online, where you stamp with water onto distress ink. Well, this just did not work for me at all.
