I’m still working hard on the new release, so today I’m throwing it back to a great video from last year, in which I share a couple of really useful ideas. Firstly I talk about the benefits of using photo references when colouring. Secondly I show you how to create a sparkly effect without using any glitter pens or glitter.

This week I’m spotlighting one of the adorable Bundle Girl stamps. This one happens to be one of my very favourites, because since I was a little girl, this has been one of my favourite flowers.

Hi!
Tamara here with you. Today I have a CAS card for you. I really like colouring up these Mochi girls, they are big enough so I don’t have to struggle with the tiniest details and still they are perfect size for a card. She’s called Journaling Mochi Girl.

I saw a similar card design on Instagram and wanted to use the layout for this image. I had a few sentiments prepared for the card but then I chose this one … YOU CAN! It’s a powerful message and since I’m doing an additional year of collage this year and I’m super stressed all the time, I feel like this girl and all I can say to myself is You can!

Image was stamped with Archival Ink – Jet black on 300g HP Fabriano watercolour paper and then coloured up with Distress Ink pads.

Distress Ink pads colours used are:
skin: vintage photo
cheeks: worn lipstick
hair: fossilized amber, spiced marmalade, rusty hinge
shirt: dusty concord, black soot
mug: victorian velvet, black soot
notebook: pumice stone, black soot

I added some white lines and some glitter to the image.
