It’s that time of the week again! I’ve got my spotlight out and I’m shining it on another amazing stamp – this month’s “Stamp of the Month” offer. You’ve got until the end of 30th November 2019 to grab this month’s offer, and I’m here to show you why you need it. If you already have it, I’m here to remind you why you needed it, and inspire you to get it inky!

Today I’ve got TWO videos for you! One is my usual speed colouring video showing the colouring for Stamping Bella’s Gnome with Lantern. The second video is a Copic lantern glow tutorial, showing how I created the glow effect around the lantern. It’s easier than you might think!
This little fellow is one of my favourites from this year’s Holiday release at Stamping Bella.
In case you missed it, you can get some additional ideas and tips for colouring his beard in my 3 Ways to Colour Beards/Fur with Copic Markers video. There is also a coloured pencil version HERE.
Watch me colour the background and lantern glow effect in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.
Watch me colour the Gnome with Lantern stamp itself in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.
That’s it for now! I hope you find these videos useful.
MWAH!

On Monday I shared 3 Ways to Colour Beards with Copic Markers. Today I’ve got a similar post and video for you, but with coloured pencils! Watch my video to find out how I like to approach colouring beards with coloured pencil.
As with the Copic marker version, even if gnomes aren’t your thing, this video will still be useful. The techniques work for any fur or hair texture. The approaches I share are the same ones I use to colour yetis, polar bears, and other animal images, as well as hair and beards on other characters like Father Christmas!
Here’s a close look at the final results – I think they are all effective. My personal favourite is the third one, which is yours?
