Here's Some Pink Cosmo Goodness...

Pink Cosmo Sketch: Inktense Paints and Sakura pen
on Artway Indigo paper

Hello there

In the midst of everything else of much greater importance in the world, if you want to relax, take a breath, and look at something pretty for a moment, there at least, I might be able to help.

The picture you see above is a sketch, based on pink cosmo flowers at Capel Manor (yes, from our trip the other week, and captured in a new, handmade-paper-and-as-far-as-I-know-vegan Artway Indigo journal/sketchbook, to which I treated myself last week. 

(And yes, if you fancy one too, that is an affiliate link, so I'd get paid a small commission if you purchased through it. But it's fine if you don't, are curious, and just want to have a look :-) ).

Good news for crafters

Which all, in a roundabout way, adds up to some good news if you're one of my readers who enjoys a downloadable craft sheet. I've started making them again. So go here if you're looking for some colourful pink cosmo crafting goodness, where you'll find a sheet that'll help you get the look of all that original paper and watercolour more instantly. 

If you keep to the card as designed (don't feel you have to!) it'll give you a result something like this:

as a card sheet at Craftsuprint...

Either way,  hope it gives you, or a crafter you know,  lots of fun and joy to work with.

And that just about wraps things up for the week. Be safe, well and happy. And thanks so much for being here, and for reading down this far.

More soon

Love and Cupcakes

"Love"-Tap or click here for details about this sticker

Hello there, and hope that you're well and doing OK wherever you are as you read this.

Some weeks contain very much more than one theme, and seem to call for more than one design, and this is one of them.

First off, if you're feeling like the world could be doing with a little more love, one way and another, you might like my new "Love" design. You can see it above as a sticker, complete with a many-hued watercolour background that  helps it represent love in a broader and more universal context than just Valentine's Day and roses.

It's also available on lots of other items, and looks good, for example, on a T shirt too (see below).

Tap or click here for more info.

And now, as they say, for something completely different...

So here is the moment when I feel like one of those hapless presenters on a daytime TV show, that has to segue between two wildly-different topics (such as engineering and dog shows, for example).

In this case, it's just from the concept of love to cupcakes though, so not really such a stretch (especially if you like cupcakes). And even if you wouldn't normally eat them, you might find that the design I'm unveiling satisfies any cravings without you actually having to eat one. (I found it was that way when creating and painting it, which is a huge bonus, even on top of the fun).

Anyway, here, without any more ado, is the design...a cupcake shaped card...

This is a sample-click or  here to buy 

This is for you if you enjoy making cards, and especially if you enjoy making cards that look good, but are really easy to make. You can buy the sheet with which to make it, including all the instructions (such as they are, it's that easy) via this link.

There is also a matching sheet of fun modern quips that fit inside the card, and I'll link to that as soon as it goes on sale, along with any other matching or similar items that could be useful.

For now though, I'll leave you to your day.  Hope today's designs and bits and pieces have added some extra colour and fun to your day.

And thanks so much for reading down this far-I really appreciate your being here.

More soon.
