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.

I'm swooping in with another late night entry for this weeks Colour Throwndown challenge ctd 380. This weeks colours were red, grey and white. As ever my photo shows the colour looking more washed out than they really are. I have used an Anita's/Docrafts stamp for the flower after liberally splodging (technical!) on watercolour paint...
