Ginkgo Leaf Rainbow

For my first card using the new Clarity Ginkgo leaf stamps and stencil designed by Barbara Gray, I decided to go with my trademark rainbow colours and just use the stencil.

Daily Drawing Update: One Month to Go

 I really didn't know at the start of 2021 whether I would be able to keep up with the challenge I was setting myself of drawing each day.  I haven't been too well these last two weeks, but I have kept up, albeit staying quick and simple with my drawings.

Seemed a fairly obvious response.

Glad it was an easy prompt.
Thankfully another easy one.
A minimal response once again.
As was this one.
Keeping it simple.
Copied from life.
Another quick and simple response.
Looking forward to feeling better!
We have three boys!
Still keeping things simple.
A no brainer!
A very straight forward prompt.
I do enjoy a banana split!
Used to help me get my voice back!

And so onto the last month of my challenge - see you with an update in two weeks.

WOYWW 652: Back To Work

Welcome to the latest desk sharing with Julia at Stamping Ground and the friendly bunch which make up WOYWW. The voice is more or less back and will be back at work today - here's hoping all goes well.  Just all the marking to catch up with now.

Not much change on my desk today.  I am still ploughing my way through the daily drawings, although I am getting a lot more relaxed and quicker with my attempts.  I have treated myself to the full set of 90 Kuretake Clean Colour brush pens which you can see at the back.  They came from Japan via Amazon so cost less than half the price they would if bought here.  I am busy punching sticky labels so I can see all the colours on the lids.






I hope all my American friends had a happy Thanksgiving.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW everyone.
