A different colourway

I've not done a lot to show you in the last couple of days but I just wanted to show you some more frames I've done. These ones go with Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. I'll do my best to get some more cards on the blog using these after the weekend.

Hope you're having a good one!

Doodle Tutorial!

Make a note in your diary - that's 2 posts on my blog in 2 days! Reckon that's a record! lol

So I told you yesterday I'd show you how to create the little frames I used yesterday - here's how I did it:

STEP 1:
Take a sheet of the 4 mini scalloped frames

STEP 2:
Using a Copic or Pigma fine liner to draw random circles over the frame. The more random-the better the effect. Believe it or not but it even looks better if the ends of the circle don't meet perfectly too! You can't lose!

STEP 3:
Take a a copic marker and add one colour at a time


STEP 4:
Building up the different coloured circles


STEP 5:
It's starting to come together now!

STEP 6:
Add a background colour around the coloured circles


STEP 7:
Carefully tear the perforations and pull the frame from the backing
STEP 8:
TA DA!!!! All finished!
I told you it was easy!
I'll show you some more frames I've coloured tomorrow!

It's official...

...I'm the crappiest crap crap blogger! lol. What a couple of weeks it's been!!

Well last week I took three days annual leave and spent them at Craftwork Cards helping Sue and Julie with the new website. I've designed some gorgeous new papers which I'm hopeful will be commissioned (fingers crossed)!

I'm well into doodling at the moment and seem to be doodling on every project I take on; whether it's papers, cards or boxes, I just can't stop!

I'm going to show you a couple of the cards I've made this weekend and hopefully tomorrow I'm going to post a bit of a tutorial on how to achieve this effect.
I've used My Mind's Eye - Colourful Christmas papers, various ribbons, card candy from Craftwork Cards and the finishing touch - Small scalloped frames from Craftwork Cards.
They're cut from a plain white cardstock and they're just fabulous to colour on with copics.
Grab your copic fineliners, copic markers and some white card and join me tomorrow for a doodle tutorial - you won't believe how easy it is and how good it'll look!
