Hi and happy weekend!  Bbbrrrr, it's a cold and wet one today here in Cornwall. It's also not far from Christmas (can you believe it?!) so I'm sharing one of my last Christmas cards for the year.  I adore snowmen! And this is simply the cutest card for Christmas.  Instructions Die cut the largest circle twice to form your card.  Reverse stencil the Ocean Air Blue Aqua Flow Pens onto watercolour card then die cut the 2nd largest circle and a small banner die.  Stamp out the snowman, hat and candy cane images with Versafine ink. Colour with Aqu Flow Pens. Decoupage the hat, heart, and holly, and nose for a little dimension.  Stamp out Christmas onto your stencilled aqua flow panel.  Die cut snowflake and assemble card.  Although this card is small, it really packs a punch and is beautiful. I still can't make up my mind as to my favourite Christmas card of the year, but this is definitely a contender.  I've looked in the shop and to my delight, ...

Hi there! Christmas isn't far off now and I'm just finishing the last of my Christmas cards for 2019.  This tutorial is for a clean and simple design, perfect for batchmaking.  I love the wraparound trees, this makes the card really special and unique but keeping with the clean and simple style.  The card is A6 so 12/5 inches when unfolded. That's a lot of trees!  And the little reindeer face is gorgeous!  YouTube Tutorial  Written Instructions Create an A6 cardblank using watercolour card Stamp out both Christmas tree stamps to make your design on the entire length of the cardblank.  Colour in your trees with Aqua Flow Pens Colour baubles and tree bases with Sakura Koi Pens Stamp and colour in the reindeer with Sakura Koi pens.

Hi friends, Jen here. Today I'm sharing a couple cards from the Perfect Poinsettias stamp set Polkadoodles have just released.  Nikky's stamps are amazing and I really enjoyed using the entire collection. I'm not a keen gardener so had no idea whether poinsettias were blue or not but I felt they would look beautiful so dug out my Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens and and went to work.  Card One Instructions:  Stamp out a clean and simple design with one poinsettia and three leaves using a little masking using Versafine Black Ink.  Poinsettia watercoloured with Blue Velvet and True Turquoise Aqua Flow Pens.  Holly leaves watercoloured with Evergreen Fern and Sliced Kiwi.  Watercolour the background with Yellow Ocre, Caramel Pecan and then go on for darker shadows with Rustic Oak Aqua Flows.  Colour in the centre of the flower with any bright yellow you have. I used a yellow colour pencil.  Mat and layer using navy blue cardstock and some papers from Winter Wishe...
