Top-Up The Colour

Using pre-coloured digital stamps is a great way to create quick cards, but don't forget that you can add extra touches to the images, such as boosting the colours with pencils and markers. This can be especially useful if your printer doesn't produce nice bright colours and deep shadows.


I printed the coloured version of the Good Friends digital stamp and then added some additional colour with my alcohol markers and coloured pencils, with most of the focus on deepening shadows and grounding the figures.

Encore Set - Hibiscus


Our January Encore set is bound to bring visions of white sandy beaches, balmy evenings, and palm trees swaying in tropical breezes. While half the world shivers in the cold, those of us who live "down under" are enjoying the summer weather and, hopefully, one or two of those little umbrella drinks!

Hello Sunshine

Sunflowers seem so happy with their golden petals, wide open flowers and long stems that reach up to the sky. It's hard not to feel cheerful when you see some. I often think of the quote about turning your face to the sun so the shadows fall behind you... a lovely thought that can be interpreted in so many ways.
