Folk art - Just For You

Happy Thursday!

I hope you have a great day :)

Here is 'Just For You' card with Polish folk art flowers. I think the flowers stand out more on a black background. I used cutting dies from Altenew called 'Wycinanki' and a sentiment from my stash.

ArtLiner flower

Happy Wednesday!

Today is the day to make a quick test for new ArtLiner by SpectrumNoir. I decided to make a simple drawing of a flower. The colours are called 'Bright' and the two blues are very similar, I used them for the centre of a flower and it is very difficult to see the deference between them. But overall, I really like the bright colours and how thin they are :)

Telephone box

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you have a fantastic day :)

I tried my new AquaTink - Summer time markers and Sparkle Glitter Pen - biscuit and used them for a drawing in my sketch book.

Maybe not the best drawing, it was just a test and to use those pens I need watercolour paper as this paper bleeds too much. 

Have you tested your new art supplies?

Happy crafting!

Purple elephant

Happy Monday!

What a beautiful day today :)

Today, my order arrived from Crafter's Companion and I got a set of Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers (Purples), so I decided to test them strait away in my sketchbook and I drew an elephant with an ArtLiner 03 and coloured in with the markers, on top of that I used AquaBlend pencils (Vivid Hues).

What do you think?
