"Hippo Birthday!"

A while ago, I came across a beautiful image from Radiant Artistry. I haven't looked back! You can discover their work on Ko-fi. I consistently produce vibrant coloring with their designs.

I am thrilled to share that I have joined as a Colourist. It's a pleasure to work with these images!

I coloured this cute little guy with pencils and then used a border die and fab papers to create a colourful backdrop for him! A die cut bow and sentiment finish the card.

Treasure your world

 

A while ago, I came across a beautiful image from Radiant Artistry. You can discover their work on Ko-fi. I consistently produce vibrant coloring with their designs.

I'm delighted to announce that I've become a Colourist for them. Working with these images is a joy!

I must admit, the image is larger than it appears here. I made a mistake with a pencil and when I attempted to erase it, the paper tore. I was devastated. However, I decided to cut it out and use the rest because she is incredibly beautiful.

 In honour of all those women who fought, are fighting and maybe helping others who are affected by Breast Cancer, a pink card today.

I used an Altenew embossing folder. I embossed in black then waxed with a rose pink. I fussy cut. Then highlighted the middles with a gold pen. I layered onto pink CS and added a sentiment.

Just in case anyone needs encouragement, get that mammogram if you find anything "off". I did 21 years ago and it meant that with surgery and treatment I have seem my girls become women, wives and mothers! I have seen 2 grandchildren come into our world. It's all been worth it.
