Sunday Round-Up

Hello My Sunday Fluff Bundles, how are you all doing? I've been a little missing in action this week and my blog has been a little quiet which is unusual for me but life does have a habit of stopping us from blogging from time to time doesn't it?! 

Well I'm playing a bit of catch up and hopefully normal services will be resumed shortly. In the meantime I have some news to share. I have an article in the new issue of Papercraft Essentials that should be in the shops by now as it came out last Thursday.


I'm not able to show you the cards but if you have very sharp eyesight and a magnifying glass you might spot the cards on the cover: 


Ok so they are a little tiny on the cover LOL! But you might have spotted that the article is about using different colouring mediums such as using the solvent based markers like Copic pens and Promarkers, watercolours like Rangers Distress inks and ZIG Art and Graphic Twin pens and using pencils like the Prismacolor pencils. The article also covers the best papers to use for each and tips for colouring. 

I've used the gorgeous La-La Land Crafts Luka and Marci stamps. The article uses the digi-stamps specifically but all the techniques are applicable with rubber stamping too!

Here are a couple of sneaky peeks :)




It was another article I really enjoyed putting together so I hope you guys who get Papercraft Essentials find it helpful :)

Right, well I have lots of DT makes, some commissions and sorting my craft space to do (Eeek!) so I better crack on. 

Have fabulous fluffy Sundays.

  3. Hi Kim,
    Haven't bought many magazines this year as I just got frustrated seeing all the beautiful creations and not being able to try them myself.
    However, am now making progress with the wrist and back to 'crafty-dabbling' so will keep an eye open as I need all the help I can get with colouring properly. Sounds like you are busy as ever and hope you are well xx
