Fuchsia Circle
For my card today, I wanted to create a floral wreath with the new Flourishing Fuchsias stamp setfrom Pretty Pink Posh. To begin, I created a circle template by drawing around a circle die lightly with pencil. I stamped images from the Flourishing Fuchsias stamp set with pale ink, following the circle shape. I then… Continue reading Fuchsia Circle

My sister loves fuchsias, so I was excited to see this floral set in the new release and had to make her a card. This set is part of the May 2018 release, which goes… Continue reading Flourishing Fuchsias
Me and My Galaxy Dragon
I shared a photo the other day on instagram of a dragon from the Mama Elephant Me and My Dragon stamp set, which I’d coloured to be a galaxy dragon. I used Faber Castell polychromos pencils to do this. I’ve done plenty of distress ink galaxy backgrounds before, but never tried using colouring pencils so… Continue reading Me and My Galaxy Dragon

I began by stamping the large bouquet… Continue reading Spring Bouquet
Blue and White Petunias

I began by white heat embossing some flowers and leaves from the Pretty Pink Posh Pretty Petunias stamp set. I then chose some blue shades of pencils and did some very simple… Continue reading Blue and White Petunias
Copics with Coloured Pencils
I was reminded the other day of a colouring technique I used for a card ages ago. It’s no-line colouring with a mix of copics and colouring pencils. I was inspired to try the technique again, this time with the Pretty Pink Posh Hummingbird Thanks and Pretty Petunias stamp sets. I stamped the images on… Continue reading Copics with Coloured Pencils
Jumping in Autumn Leaves
The girl from the MFT Jumping with Joy stamp set looks like she's having so much fun, playing in the leaves! I coloured her in using Faber Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils. The die cut leaves are heat embossed in gold and coloured with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens. On a piece of white… Continue reading Jumping in Autumn Leaves

This gave me a… Continue reading Cherry Blossoms and Colouring on Kraft
