I fell in love with the Hero Arts Hipster Animals stamp set when I stumbled across them on Amazon (as you do) and I knew I just had to have them. They are so cute but great for cards for men. There are a selection of animals and then you can dress them up with... Continue Reading →
I'm back with my entry for this weeks color throwdown CTD 391. This weeks colours are lovely and I haven't made a card in a few weeks (my beads have been out instead) so I thought I would get back into the swing of things with some no line water colouring and attempting to colour...

My blog has been a little neglected this week mainly due to not having much crafting time. What good is a craft blog with nothing to show?! As a result I had decided that I wouldn't be able to join in this weeks colour throwdown challenge as what little time I did have would be... Continue Reading →
This weeks colours for the Color Throwdown CTD 384 gave me the perfect opportunity to try my hand again at my Kanban roses stamp. During the 30 Day Colouring Challenge I coloured the same rose stamp once with Polychromos pencils and again with Promarkers with the intention to colour/paint it again with watercolours. I enjoy doing this as I'm always intrigued... Continue Reading →
I'm back with another entry for the Colour Throwdown challenge CTD #383. This weeks colours are yellow, green, orange and white.

Crafty stash used : Sizzix / Hero Arts stamp and die cut - Butterflies #3 Ranger / Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads in the... Continue Reading →
Well, yesterday was the final day of the 30 day colouring challenge held by Kathy from The Daily Marker *sob, sob* It has been a great challenge in so many ways; I have pushed myself and gained confidence in what I can do, I have used my supplies, old and new, to create cards plus I have...

The colouring challenge at The Daily Marker is nearly at an end. For yesterday's entry I pulled out my Groovy Cats stamp set by Woodware and set about creating a shaker card. First, I worked out how much of a boarder I wanted and lightly drew it in pencil. From there I could work out where... Continue Reading →
For day 28 of the 30 day colouring challenge at The Daily Marker I opted for a simple watercolour card. The stamp set used is called 'By The Sea' by Woodware. I stamped and watercoloured the boats, stamped and embossed the 'Ahoy there' and painted the background in a variety of blue paints. I dried the... Continue Reading →
