Daily Challenge
Your mission today is to capture a moment — big or small, quiet or joyful — that speaks to you. This could be a memory, a glance, a feeling, or simply a tiny detail that made you smile. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:
- Focus on storytelling through small details — shadows, textures, or movement
- Illustrate a snapshot of winter kindness or connection
- Reflect on your favourite prompt from the challenge and reinterpret it
- Create a card that feels like a page from a memory book
- Highlight soft, nostalgic colours for a cosy feel
Today’s Project
For my Day 30 card, I wanted to freeze a little winter moment in time — something soft, gentle, and full of warmth. I reached for the Warm Thoughts Stamp Set from Simon Says Stamp, and focused on creating a scene that felt like a quiet story unfolding.
I watercoloured a snowman reaching out to a little red postbox, as if stopping mid-snowfall to send a warm message across the miles. The soft washes, muted tones, and hand-painted feel all played into that sense of capturing a fleeting, heartfelt moment — a perfect way to close out the challenge.
