Shhhh! It's oh so quiet...

Here's one of my recent creations. This handmade card has been created using the gorgeous 'Victoria's Secret' patterned papers by Nikki Sivils, Tina Wenke's adorable 'Mouse in Nut Bed' stamp and lots of lovely sparkly gem stones!

I coloured the design with Copic Ciao pens using the following colours:
B00, R29, E35, E31, YG03, YG05, YG11, 100, E57, BV02, C3.

Drip.Dot. Swirl Patterns

Do you remember a while ago, I mentioned a brilliant book called Drip. Dot. Swirl which includes 94 patterns for design and illustration (and comes with a DVD containing the artwork) released in May 2009?

The excellent patterns have all been designed by Von Glitschka (You can visit his Art Backwash Blog by clicking on the link to see some more of his incredible designs.

The 106 page hardback book includes so many patterns that you can work with as vectors, alter the colours, patterns or shapes in Illustrator and print your own background papers for use in card making or scrapbooking projects. Why not use the designs in your home decor projects too?

I've created a couple of projects shown here using some of the many patterns in the book. The variations are endless!
