Happy Monday friends, I’m getting back to the rhythm of going back to my day job today after being on 5 weeks school holidays. Ah, the end of no alarms and sleep-ins. For this sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches FMS620 I’ve use the Enjoy the Rhythm stamp set as my featured image. The 3…
For Colour Palette #22 I have created a Christmas card with the So Very Merry stamp set. This stamp set, which earlier sold out very quickly, is back in stock and I’m so glad as I really love the unusual stained glass look of it. The small bird was watercoloured to resemble a robin using…
When I saw that the Global Design Project #gdp403 theme this week was ‘Stripes’ I really wanted to play along with it. You can draw stripes, paint watercolour stripes, use patterned paper, make use of paper scraps and create a striped pattern, criss cross those stripes for checks… you get it – the possibilities are…

It’s been a little while since I did some watercolouring which is one of my favourite techniques. This beautiful flower from the Happiness Abounds stamp set was just perfect for getting back into it. I used the Colour Inkspiration CI136 challenge photo as inspiration with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #570. I watercoloured the…
Do you ever wonder what to do with a stamp set like In the Country from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue? Large images of scenes which you could colour in but sometimes you may not have the time to spend colouring it all in. A sketch such as this one from Freshly Made Sketches is a great…
