I had fun creating a little autumnal scene using the bear, trees and the apples! It was fun colouring these images, which are coloured using Copic Markers.

I used a stencil and some light coloured ink on the base card to add some subtle interest. I used this stencil from Penny Black.

Happy Friday! I have a couple of Jane’s Doodles card to share with you. I’ve been pretty flat out with creating online lessons for my class, which doesn’t leave me much time or head space for crafting. We have now been in lockdown for 6 weeks!!

First up is my latest card using the Road Trip stamp set. All coloured with Copics. The die is a Lawn Fawn Say Cheese die.

Next up is this pretty little floral number made using the Fresh Cut Flowers, Birthday Wishes and Whales stamps sets. This set has flowers in vases, and I just used the top portion of the stamp and repeatedly stamped it around the card. Coloured with Copics.

And last is this cute little underwater scene. I love making cute scenes with Jane’s sets.

Hello and welcome to another Jane’s Doodles hop where the Design Team and special guests are showcasing Jane’s latest stamp set called What the Fig!

For my card, I stamped the images from the What the Fig! stamp set and coloured them with Copics. I decided not to use the sentiments from the new set, because I made this card for my Mum who is a HUGE fan of fig jam. When they are in season, my Mum would always make some jam.

I had to Google what colour figs were, and after my little research, I realised they can come in a variety of colours.

With the colours I have used on my card, I think I have made a new variety of fig, but it still resembles a fig don’t ya think?

Hello. I am back today sharing 3 cards I have made with some adorable Penny Black critters from the Delight Release. I had so much fun colouring these critters.

First up is my favourite if the 3 cards. I used only a portion of the Bundles Birthday stamp set and framed him within a triangle from the Triangles creative die cuts set. The background stamp is a really neat graphic design cling stamp which I love, called Contemporary. The sentiment die cut is from a creative cuts set called Thanks & Hello.

Next up is a cute bunny from the Cuddlesome stamp set. I framed the bunny in an inked cloud frame, which I masked off, and coloured the image with Copics. Simple, but cute. The sentiment is from this Pansy Gaze stamp set.

Last, but not least, is this cute bear from the Bear-y Wishful stamp set. I also used the coordinating cut out die. I paired it up with a balloon from the Balloons die set.

Happy weekend! I have a fun Jane’s Doodles card to share with you today using the Free as a Bird stamp set. I love to colour these birds really bright – it makes me happy. All coloured with Copics. I also used this die from Sunny Studios stamps. Clean and simple just the way I like it.

I added some white gel pen detail to each bird for some interest. This card makes me smile.

Hello! It’s been a while since I have posted some Penny Black goodness here on my blog, but I am delighted to rectify that today. I have made two very different cards using some products from the Delight release.

First up I have used the Triangles creative dies to create a simple geometric design. I die cut the larger triangles from scrap coloured card stock. Then to create a tone-on-tone effect, I coloured the smaller triangle frames with a matching Copic marker before adhering it to the larger triangle.

The sentiment is from a set called Bear-y Wishful – I did a little stamp surgery and just used the first part of the sentiment. This card would make a great masculine card and would be easy to reproduce.

Next up is a card using the Captivating stamp set. Such a beautiful floral set. I dug out the Zig Clean Color Watercolor pens and had a great time water-colouring. To add some extra shading and depth to the flowers, I used some Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is from an older set called Butterfly Garden.

• Penny Black products used:
• 51-647 Triangles creative dies
• 30-804 Bear-y Wishful
• 40-774 Captivating
• 30-558 Butterfly Garden stamp set

Happy Tuesday! I’m popping in to share a card of mine that is up on the Jane’s Doodles blog. You can find the original post here.
I just had to use the newly released Surf’s Up! again – but this time I used that cheeky mouse. SO much fun. I used 3 different Distress Oxide inks on the background (Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch) with lots of sponging, spraying water and stencilling, which I repeated several times.

I coloured in the mouse with Copics and did some fussy cutting. Cute don’t ya think?

I’m currently on school holidays and we are in a two week lockdown, so I’ll have plenty of time to get crafty!
