It's such a grey, wet day today, I thought I'd make a bright summery card to lift my mood. How I made this card: On a piece of white watercolour card, I stamped lollipops from the Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Once all the images were stamped, I created… Continue reading Birthday Lollipops
I thought I'd have a go at the watercolour lifting technique that Jennifer McGuire demonstrated on a recent card. I decided to make a masculine card with the technique.

I then added detail… Continue reading Daily Marker Colouring Challenge: Beautiful Friend Blossom

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 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.
