Color Scheme prompt from #whencolourscollide Facebook group: Red and Blue (only). Stamping prompt from #clairestelle8challenge: Aztec/tribal print. I always feel a little uncomfortable trying to do a culture-based style when I don’t know much about it. And I’m not going to spend a lot of time researching things that aren’t Read More
The prompt from #26greatnailartideas was Sunshine. So of course I wanted to do a dark nail art with a grain pattern because I like to picture the crops growing up, nourished by the sun and finally being baked dry by it. A kinder, gentler version of a forest fire finally Read More

The theme for this When Colours Collide was Pink and Silver (only). I thought it was a good excuse to do something simple and fun with a stamping plate I hadn’t had a chance to use yet. I pulled out the plate, sketched a layout quickly and threw it all Read More
