Happy New Year! Elaineabella here with the very first Marker Geek Monday of 2018. I’m easing into the new year gently, after the hectic rush of December and all that entailed for me! I hope you had a wonderful festive season.

For this first post of the year, I’m sharing my colouring video for one of the gorgeous Zodiac Girls released in early December. These images have been among my favourites to colour, and I hope the colouring videos will inspire you to create with them.

Hello everyone! Francine here! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas! Did you get a lot of crafty gifts and stamps for Christmas? LOL

Today, I have a fun winter project to share with you featuring the Little Bits Figure Skaters. Here is what I came up with:

I decided to create a scene showing a reflection on the ice. This ice reflection stamping is a super fun and easy technique! I started by creating a mask for the skater using masking paper. I then stamped the skater in black ink on white cardstock and masked him. I also drew a horizon line to divide the iced surface and the sky. Next, I stamped the skater in black ink on a transparent sheet and I pressed the sheet onto the white cardstock below the skater (upside down) to create the reflection. I sponged the sky using various blue Distress inks and I removed the mask. I colored the skater as well as the reflection and the iced surface. I heat embossed the wonderful sentiment from the Holiday Sentiment set with white embossing powder. The white sentiment really pops against the blue background. I added a tiny orange heart for more cuteness. To finish off the card, I matted the scene on white cardstock and a blue card base.

I hope you enjoyed this technique! Let me know if you give it a try!

That’s all for me this year! LOL See you in January! I wish you all the best for 2018! Happy New Year!

Hi folks! Elaineabella here. In place of your regularly scheduled Design Team Thursday project by Sandiebella, I’ve got a colouring video for you today. Our fabulous scoring and folding whizz, Sandie, is buried under an avalanche of classes and Christmas preparations, so you’ll have to make do with me this week!

Watch me colour the adorable Little Bits Santa and his Chimney stamp set in the video below or in HD over on YouTube.

Not long to go now! I highly recommend sneaking off for some relaxing colouring during the festivities – it helps preserve sanity. 😉

Hey folks, Elaineabella here. In place of the usual Spotlight Tuesday, I’ve got another colouring video to share with you today! My brain isn’t quite up to putting together a more involved post for you – sorry!

While we wait for my brain to refresh itself, I hope you enjoy watching me colour the Littles Christmas Boy with Pets stamp in the video below or in HD over on YouTube.

Hope you’re having a fabulous week so far! Thank you again for all the love!
