I should have posted this earlier in the week, but I’ve been distracted. I have rediscovered my love for Prismacolor Pencils. I had gone off them a little, as the paper I was using wasn’t the best. For my early efforts it worked fine, but as I’ve become more experienced at colouring, it just didn’t cut it! I picked up a pad of Extra Smooth Bristol Board, and am now happily colouring away. Fabulous results, and you will be seeing some cards made with the images I’ve been colouring very soon.

This card features one of the gorgeous new Mary Hall stamp designs from Sugar Nellie. The image has been coloured using Distress Inks and an aqua brush.

These images are a delight to colour, and make a great focal point for a card. They work equally well for simple and more detailed cards.

I am addicted to Crate Paper at the moment. Their papers are a little expensive, but the weight and texture are gorgeous, and I love the soft look they have. I’ve been buying the collection packs and sheets of my favourite papers when I see them on offer (and sometimes at full price, because they really are irresistible).

The postie just dropped a little packet through the door containing the lovely new spring Elisabeth Bell stamps by Sugar Nellie. Guess what I’ll be doing today? 😉
