Standing Under the Mistletoe

I don't know anyone that doesn't like to receive Christmas cards. Do you?

With that in mind I am still in full card making mode.  I try to make all my Christmas cards but unfortunately fall short at times.  I really must start earlier.

Today's card is using a digital stamp from the talented artist Heather Valentin.  I was lucky to have been a past design team member at Lacy Sunshine and have a soft spot for her images.

All paper and embellishments are from my stash.  Rory and Mikey are coloured with Copic markers.  Snow flake die: Giovanna Snowflake. Snow texture: Snow-tex.  Stickles added for glitter.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy colouring!

Father's Day Card

Hi Everyone. Today I am sharing a Father's day card I made up using one of the unique and quirky stamps from Bloobel Stamps. This stamp is called Bookworm Bob and I am sure he is going to bring a smile to my Dad's face when he receives this card.

After colouring up Bookworm Bob with my copic markers I decided the image looked a little bare and added in the background.  For me adding a background is much easier  than fussy cutting around an image.  I have ruined more than one colouring fussy cutting!!

The card was created using papers and embellishments from my stash of supplies.

Flower Colourings

Recently my hubby bought me a birthday gift of the Elements of Nature class by Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder.  How lucky am I!  If you are looking for easy to follow, step by step informative classes, with videos I would highly recommend checking Alyce's classes.  I have 3 other classes as well as the ongoing monthly one so needless to say I am a fan.

Colouring flowers and have them look like flowers with petals, depth and shading has been on my colouring wish list.  There is always room for improvement but I am one happy student!

Here are the results of the Daffodil and Gerberas classes coloured with copic markers on x-press it. I jumped the gun and posted them on the Colours and Cards facebook page first.  Yes I was that excited!
