I recently had a request from a colleague for a birthday card which included a Grey Horse for her neice's birthday. 

I found this beautiful digi stamp by Polka Doodles and used my copics to colour following technique by Kit & Clowder.

I see a lot of card-maker blogs that write individual posts for cards they make. So i am going to start trying to write a few more blog posts for different cards I make. 

I am a member of many groups on Facebook and a lady called Lisa Macvicar posted a card using this digi stamp and I just had to make it!!! 

I had bought the rainbow die at the beginning of last month from Creative Dies - Stitched Rainbow. So it was an opportunity to use it. Husband has banned me from buying anything in May as apparently I have too much stuff (never!) 

I used paper from a pad I re-found this week which was Rainbow Magic from Hobbycraft and its on offer now if you like it! 

The pig was a digi stamp from Lee Hollard Art which I coloured with my copics. Im really enjoying my colouring after reading Kit & Clowder techniques so it was nice to practice with other colours ( I just want more colours now!) 

Products used: 

Stitched Rainbow die

I have just discovered the joy that is Digi Stamps. I will be honest when I first read about them I thought you might as well just print an image from google! 

It started when I was looking for a stamp/ die or anything for a twin baby card and a lovely lady on Facebook sent me two Lili of the Valley Digi stamps for twins and I loved them.

Then one of my magazines had a free Paper Nest Dolls digi stamp so I thought I would give that a try and loved it. I hadn't actually got any-one to send this Easter Card to but felt the need to make it anyway! There's also Paper Nest Dolls monthly competitions which I will never win as there is some incredible cards out there but its always worth an entry!

I had recently invested in Copic markers and they give a great colour but there's a good technique to learn! I came across Kit and Clowder who has great online courses for colouring with copics and other markers. So you know what I am going to be spending any spare time doing!!!
