Did you enjoy Inktober? Perhaps you joined in over on instagram or just enjoyed watching the art that was being produced by your favourite artist day after day through October? As many of you know I joined in too, in my small way, with this worldwide challenge started by Jake Parker and shared a daily ink sketch over on instagram. I wasn't…
I am a big fan of getting the most out of your supplies, which I am sure you have guessed by now if you are one of my long term followers! So this week I thought I would get my Distress Reinkers out and use them to add colour to an art journal page. I mean there are just so many ways…
Sunday is a great day to do something creative if you have the time, so I thought, as it is Sunday I would share a video with you showing the process I went through drawing these meadow flowers. I'm hoping that it will set you up for your creative day and get you itching to work on your next project. I'm working…
I hope that you are ready to get inky today? Because I thought I would share another idea for getting the most out of your ink pads. Ink pads are a stampers 'must have' product but they are quite a versatile art material in their own right. A while back I shared a video showing , it is super fun to do…
How have you been getting on with your Inktober sketching? If you follow me on Instagram or you are part of my Creative Tips newsletter group then you will know that I've been doing a sketch per day and sharing as part of Inktober.

Have you tried your Distress Oxides inks on different surfaces yet? What surfaces have you tried? Well, if you haven't had the chance to try out different surfaces yet, I have tried it on fabric, vellum and Yupo and I'm sharing all the results to help you decide what you are going to use them on next! I've got plenty of tips…
I like using Faber-Castell Gelatos because they are so easy to use and quite versatile too, but they aren't the best at layering, well, they are if you want blended layers. But if you want distinct layers then I would not usually reach for Gelatos. If you find the same than I have a technique for you in this week's video that…
I'm using Prismacolor pencils in and sharing some tips and tricks on how to color with pencils along the way. But you don't have to just watch the video you can also coloring along with me as I have the very same image that I am coloring up in my Etsy shop ready to buy, download and print then colour with your…
After last week's Autumnal journal page I thought I would jump straight back into Summer with a rainbow watercolor background and some flower art. I think I can not quite let go of the idea of Summer sun! I know, we have to move on with the season but it doesn't hurt to have a quick look back from time to time…
