Happy New Year! Here’s hoping for a wonderfully creative and crafty 2025. I thought I would start the year off with a fun New Year card featuring a Stamping Bella Uptown Girl stamp! Watch me colour Uptown Girl Francine using OLO markers* in the video below!

Uptown Girl Francine New Year Card

You can see a Copic coloured version of this stamp HERE. This time I decided to play with my OLO markers*. They are a little juicier than the Copics, the ink flows a little more readily, so a little practice goes a long way to work out how much ink to lay down, and how heavy/light handed you need to be. But as you can see, colouring detailed images like the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls is perfectly possible!
