I'm a little bit obsessed by contemporary sketchy looks at the moment so when I saw the stamp that comes with the Fiskars Continuous Stamping Wheel™ my brain went 'Ooo! That would look good just as it is with a touch of bright watercolour - clean and simple!' You can see how I made this one if you pop on over to the…
Well look at that! It is Thursday all ready. I thought I would share a couple of things today, apologies for not having any finished items to show but how about some news and a work in progress? I was having a bit of a play this week with my ZIG Art and Graphic Twin pens, as you guys know they are…
Hearts are one of my favourite motifs, it is my Go-To shape, I return to them again and again in my art. There is something about the shape and form of the heart symbol that works so well in so many compositions. Then you have all the different emotions that the heart symbol embodies and can give to a piece. I have…
The thing about Bank Holiday weekends is that the following week is shorter - which is good right? Of course it is! But it does mean that I'm thinking it is Wednesday when actually it is Thursday. Am I the only one? You guys can back me on this right? As it is Thursday and I haven't posted since Monday I thought…

I love experimenting as you know and I love trying my hand to different things, again this won't be too much of a shock to those of you who regularly pop by my blog. Well today I have one of my own illustrations to show. I've been doing a lot of work with watercolours and I just love how watercolour effects look…
Ok so are you up for a Kuretake challenge? This time the theme is Red, White and Blue with a touch of bling - perhaps something to do with some jubilee or something going on in Britain last weekend? You remember? The long weekend I kept going on about? I thought I would go a bit Punk on the theme, part of this street…
Ok Crafty Sugar Plums I have a treat for you today in the form of the new La-La Land Crafts dies. Now you may have been hearing the buzz from the usual social media hangouts or the La-La Land Crafts shop and blog and you might have spotted me working with the dies already in a WOYWW but today is the day…
I'm starting this week with a HUGE splash of colour for my La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Monday make. Be warned it is COLOUR OVERLOAD! I've used one of my favourite Lukas - Lil' Rocker Luka, he makes me want to get my guitar out - I can't actually play it, but I keep meaning to learn! Well the La-La Land Crafts Inspiration this week…
Hey All, I have a tag for you today using the lovely Paper Smooches Promenade stamp kit available over at the Make The Day Special shop.
