Actually got round to using some of the free images that come in the centre of "Simply Cards" magazine. I really liked these ones by David Parkins and they were lots of fun to colour in too!

I love my copics, but it's just so much easier to use watercolour pencils...

If you missed the mag and would like the images, I could always send you a scan. :)

Researched some of the badges and then recreated them as papercuts. I wasn't too sure about the result ( it was a bit big too!) but the person who commissioned it was very happy. Tg. :)

Used nestabilities on the Cuttlebug for this. Restricted colour palette in an attempt to stop it becoming too bitty.

90% of my cards now are commissions. Its good to keep being challenged.

We love post.

Early bird brought a package from PaperArtsy yesterday. Unfortunately they weren't stamps for me, I'd ordered some for a friend's birthday. I have to say that it was an extremely fast and effecient service. They were here in next to no time and the comms were brilliant.
PaperArtsy kick ass. :)
