Day 2 #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge - Woodware Bubble Bloom Stamp

It's Day 2 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge.  I've used the Brusho off-cut from yesterday's project for the base of this card.

I then stamped the Woodware "Bubble Blossom" stamp in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink and coloured it with Arteza Brush Pens.  I then edged the card in two shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Wild Honey and Fossilized Amber).

I then used a Funky Fossil stencil called "Micro Dots" with Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I also inked the edges of the card with the same ink.

Finally, I used Ranger "Glossy Accents" applied to the bubbles and left to dry.

I've been playing with the Funky Fossil "Sew Lovely" clear stamp set using their "Knitted Stencil" for the background.

I started by using "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide Ink through the "Knitted Background Stencil.

On plain white card, I stamped the thread holders (eight times, two for each colour) in Versafine Clair inks.

I coloured the inner thread area with an Arteza Brush Pen and then cut the shape out.  

I then fussy cut the thread holder out (without the foliage) and adhered the coloured thread to it using foam pads to give dimension.

I stamped the "Sew Happy For You" and the "Kisses/cross stitch" sentiment in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then adhered the thread cards onto the card.

Day 16 - The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge #thedailymarker30day

It's Day 16 of "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Challenge".  I've had a really chilled day, hence posting this a lot later in the day and the photo isn't square on either, but you get the idea of it.

I stamped a Bo Bunny flower and leaf from an early set called "Olivia Clearly Stamps - SO690".  I coloured the image with Arteza Brush Pens.  

I felt the image was missing something, I decided it needed words, so used a Visible Image stamp set called "Somewhere In Time" and stamped the sentiments in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.

Day 15 - The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge #thedailymarker30day

It's Day 15 and I'm half way through "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Challenge", which has really surprised me.  

I've used a stamp by "Little Claire Designs" called "Janette's Bunny", coloured with Arteza Brush Pens.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine "Smokey Gray" ink and is part of a sentiment set called "Double Sayings - PICSA6104" bt Personal Impressions.

Day 13 - The Thirty Daily Marker Thirty Day Challenge #thedailymarker30day

This is my make for "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge".

I started this card by using a Distress Oxide Ink called "Stormy Sky" through a "Funky Fossil Scandi Quilt Stencil".

I used the sentiment and penguin from a Funky Fossil clear stamp called "Festive Penguins".  I stamped the sentiment over the stencilled background and the penguin on an off-cut of white card.  I used Arteza Brush Pens to colour the penguin and then cut it out and adhered onto the stencilled background.

Day 9 - The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge #thedailymarker30day

I'm playing catch up on Day 9 of "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Challenge" as I've been away for the weekend.

For this card, I have stamped an image in Versafine "Stormy Gray" ink using a Papermaina/Docrafts stamp set called "Bunting".  I've used my Arteza Brush Pens to colour the stamped image.

Day 2 - The Thirty Day Colouring Challenge #thedailymarker30day

It's Day 2 of The Thirty Day Colouring Challenge and I have coloured my second piece, so I am up to date...early days I know, but I'm chuffed with myself all the same!

I used an IndigoBlu stamp called "Colour Me - Daisy", stamped in Versafine Clair 'Nocturne" black ink.

Today I used my Arteza Brush Pens in the following colours:

• Mulberry Picnic - A110
• Red - A101
• Cadmium Orange - A140
• Amaranth Pink - A139
• Honey - A121

I felt more confident colouring this image as the brush pens are closer to a paint brush, which I am happier working with compared to coloured pencils.

For this card, I have used the "Sew Lovely" set of clear stamps.  I wanted to keep it relatively CAS (clean & simple) so deliberately only added colour to the stamped area, so that the eye is drawn there.

I used an embossing folder which i think came free with a magazine some time ago for the background.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink, I stamped the image and the sentiment, both are part of the "Sew Lovely" stamp set. I coloured the pins and pin cushion area using Arteza Brush Pens.

Once adhered on to the card blank, I embellished by adding three buttons to the bottom corner of the card.

For this card, I started by using Distress Oxide Inks in two blue shades: Chipped Sapphire and Blueprint Sketch through the Funky Fossil "Birch Forest" stencil.

I trimmed the image down then adhered a curved piece of card over the lower section to create a snowscape.  I stamped the "Let It Snow" sentiment using Versafine Clair "Twilight" which is a very dark blue ink.  I added a pale blue area to the left of the sentiment, using Distress Oxide "Tumbled Glass" ink, that the penguin will stand on.

On a separate piece of card, I stamped two images of the penguin.  I coloured the penguin by painting Distress Oxide inks on the hat area of both penguin images.  For the body on one of them I used my Arteza Brush Pens.

I cut out the full image of the coloured penguin and adhered into position over the blue paint washed area on the snow.

I then cut the had around the hat on the second penquin image and adhered it over the hat on the card to give dimension to it.  I added touches of glitter to the hat using a Sakura gelly roll pen.

I wanted to go for a CAS (Clean and Simple) look for this card, so stamped this little skating penguin and the sentiment in the bottom corner (using Versafine Glair "Morning Mist" grey shade of ink).  I coloured the penguin figure using Arteza Brush Pens and gave a hint of blue beneath him using "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide Ink
