Blue James

I couldn’t do this year’s pile of Christmas cards without my favourite bear! I’ve been colouring him, in various poses, every year since I started colouring, and I am not about to break that tradition! I’ve used prismacolor pencils this time and I simply love that look of pencils on kraft. It’s been a while since I did any of those colourings, so I shall bump that right to the top of my list, I think! You can find James Santa Stop Here in the Lili of the Valley shop.

The big sentiment die is by Mama Elephand and I coloured it up with copics to match. A little die cut around the edge and a lot of snow finished it off.

Here is another photo because he’s cute! See all the layers on the text.

POD Snowfetti

I’m in the spirit of Christmas cards at the moment, so I have to share loads! Sorry, not sorry! Here is Elliot and Marcel making Snowfetti. It is from Purple Onion Designs’ Julian Charlton range. I think the stamp is super cool and tried something new: pencil colouring on a blue background. Fun! I’ve added extra snow and a fun border around. Love how the pencil colouring turned out, so don’t be surprised if you see more like it!

Watercolor Roses, in pencil

I’ve had my pencils out to play again! This time I’ve used the Watercolor Roses (aff. link) by Picket Fence Studios with my Prismacolor Pencils. One of my co-workers was retiring recently and I really wanted to make her a card. Can’t really go wrong with roses!

The sentiment at the top is by Mathia Design and the bottom one is by Norsk Stempelblad.

Slimline flowers

I’ve finally finished the card I made with the Pinkfresh Studio flowers I coloured up with my Prismacolor pencils for my video back in August: see it here. I’ve drawn a border around the coloured panel and stamped a birthday greeting from Papertrey Ink. A few sequins and then some die cut butterflies from La-La Land Crafts made up the rest of the card.

Colouring video: Miss Your Smile

There is a new colouring video up on my YouTube channel Lizlandcards and this time it’s my pencils that have gotten to come out to play again. I’ve coloured up this slimline stamp by Pinkfresh Studio called Miss Your Smile designed by Emily Midgett. She draws the most gorgeous flowers!
