This blog was created to act as a record of the cards and other projects that I have made. It is for both my own reference and to help inspire anyone who wants to take a look.

I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment so that I know what you think of my projects and that you've been to visit!

Anyone can comment, even those who don't have a blog. (Just look for the word 'Comments' under the three little pictures at the end of each post). Readers without a blog can add an anonymous comment, but please leave your name (and docrafts username if applicable) so I know who you are!

Blue and Yellow Floral Alice

Well, I'm on a bit of a digi stamp roll at the moment. This is one that I won from TiddlyInk in a blog challenge and I think she's really cute. You can find this image here on their site.


 Having printed out the image, it was coloured using Copic markers:

  • Skin: E00, E21, E51, R20
  • Hair: Y08, Y17, E36
  • Dress: B00, B12, B18, B24
  • Clock: B00, B18, B24

The image was then highlighted with a Papermania Snow White gel pen and Anita's 3D Gloss. Once the gloss was dry, the image was die cut using an oval Nestabilities die and matted onto a blue scalloped oval panel, also die cut using a Nestabilities die.

A panel of the blue stripe paper from the HOTP Dots and Stripes Use 'Em For Anything paper pad (that I received from HOTP for a tip I submitted to their forum) was matted onto yellow card.

A small panel of the yellow circle mesh paper, from the HOTP Ultimate Cardmaker's Creative Pack, was matted onto blue card and three holes were punched along the edge with the Cropadile Big Bite and short lengths of yellow gingham ribbon were tied through the holes. The yellow panel was matted to the left of the image panel and paper flowers were matted over the top.

A computer-generated sentiment was coloured using the Copic markers:
  • Sentiment: B12, B24
and lengths of the gingham ribbon were added either side of the sentiment.

Faux yellow gems were added to the centres of the flowers and either end of the sentiment.

Blue and Tan Floating Monkey

This is the first time I've used a digi stamp image and what a great image it is. It's one of the lovely freebies from the Dustin Pike blog.

I needed to make a card for my cousin and decided to have a go with this image, which you can find here.


I started by colouring the image using my Copic sketch markers:
  • Monkey: E00, E21, E35, E51
  • Balloon: B00, B12
  • Sky: B00
  • Clouds: N1
Once the image was coloured, it was then trimmed up and Anita's 3D Gloss was added over the balloon.
The image, once dried, was then matted onto tan handmade paper and a panel of blue card that was embossed using the Moroccan Screen embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

A strip of the Crunchy paper, from the Basic Grey Granola paper pad was matted onto the tan handmade paper and the blue card and then across a panel of the Natural paper from the same paper pad.
This was then matted onto larger panels of the tan paper and blue card.

The sentiment, from the Woodware Jane's Script Sentiments stamp set, was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black Archival pigment ink and trimmed. The panel was then coloured using Copic markers:
  • Panel: B00, E13
This was then matted onto the tan paper and embossed blue card and matted onto the card below the image panel.
