Rudolph Day 2026

 It’s the first Rudolph Day of 2026 and 

 I am pleased to be a guest designer over at Rudolph Days challenge blog this month.

Here is the card I made using a Woodware stamp.

First I stamped onto Kraft card and then paper pieced some of the images which I coloured using Promarkers and watercolour pencils.

I decided to mount it into a card blank and cut it out to make a cute shaped card.

New Inky Journaling

 Going to try and get back into some journaling this year…fingers crossed!

Found a new set of stamps designed by Funky Fossil designs which had been in my stash for a while.

Created background using Distress Oxides, stencil and a background stamp

Duck for Christmas?

 Made this trio of Christmas tags using a cute little stamp I think was by Crafters Companion it is years old. But was perfect for this tag design idea. 

I used some simple techniques I learned at Lavinia stamps on the weekend.

Coloured using watercolour pencils and used white pigment ink in the background. 

A touch of Posca pen and a little gem for the mistletoe.

Halloween Postcard

 Not sure when I last made a postcard.

But here is one I have made using some autumnal colour Distress Inks in the inky background and went for a Halloween vibe with some Stampotique images which were coloured with Promarkers and watercolour pencil. 

The words are some of my favourite phrases again by the sadly no more Stampotique…sniff!

Added some spooky black netting and stitching as a finishing touch.

Boo!

 Used a metal lid from a tin as the base for this Halloween decoration.

Covered it in washitape. 

The background I blended ink through a stencil and added some spooky stamping.

The main stamped images is by Stampotique and I layered this up a bit to create dimension.

Finishing touches were some black sparkly lettering and some net/web fabric.
