Now that Christmas is behind us, I wanted to make a start on this yearโs birthday card stash. I wanted bright, colourful and full of happy animals! The person I intend to send this card to is a Jungle Book lover, so I selected some of the characters to feature in the scene. I had to get a little creative…
Not many sleeps ’til Santa now! I have another festive card for you today and the last in my Scene Colouring series on the Heffy Doodle blog. This time, I coloured up some playful penguins in a snowy scene. One was halfway through building a snowman until he saw a friend who couldn’t reach the post box. What could he…
I’m back with the next card in my Scene Colouring series. I’m definitely in the Christmas mood and this card is inspired by one of the all-time great Christmas songs: When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney! Plus, it uses a non-Christmas stamp set – Teacher’s Pet – to get the most out of your stash! This one needed a…
I have a festive ‘Jingle All the Way’ scene card over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today, featuring the MFT ‘Tis the Season stamp set and some no-line Copic colouring. I started out by stamping the Santa holding his sack of goodies onto some blending cardstock using some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink. This combo is perfect for no-line alcohol…
I’m joining in the blog hop day with the rest of the Heffy Doodle team! Come and hop along for some inspiration and prizes! Start over at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags blog. I made some matching tags for my featured Christmas Cards this year using the tag from the Mini Essentials Die set along with a bunch of…
Itโs rapidly approaching that time of year when I start to get a bit anxious over having enough Christmas cards to send out come December. Every year I say I will start early and make at least one a month all year round, but I never manage to achieve that aim! This is my fifth card of the year and…
With fireworks day in the UK coming up at the end of this week I thought I would focus this week’s blog post on how to create a celebratory scene featuring fireworks. It’s pretty simple once you try it and it makes any dark night scene pop. Plus, if we can’t go and see fireworks this year, let’s create some!…
Hello, I’m back today with some more inspiration for the Seven Hills Crafts Colorado Craft Company celebration week. Today I am featuring the Big and Bold Hope Sings Peacock stamp set – these stamps are so perfect for both practicing colouring and creating a card panel with just the one image. I used some inspiration pictures of real peacocks in…
I’m on the Heffy Doodle blog today with the next in my Scene Colouring series. I have a friend who is getting married on Halloween, so I combined the Happily Ever Crafter and Veggie Patch stamp sets to create this spooky wedding scene card. I also used this month’s Color Snapshot for the Heffy Doodler’s October challenge as background and…
Hello! I’m back with my bi-weekly post over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog and today I have another Copic scene for you. Just before I start full-tilt on the festive cards, I bring you dragons, with a twinsie to my last card and a totally different background! Featuring the MFT Magical Friends stamp set, it’s amazing what different scenes…
I’m back on the Heffy Doodle blog today with a brand new theme to my blog posts – Scene Colouring. In this series, I’ll explore some of the techniques I use to create scenes with my alcohol markers. Today’s card features the Veggie Patch stamp set, along with a sentiment from the Sentiment Duos, to create this punny anniversary scene….
