Quinn at the Beach

Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

This months challenge is happening now in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group and the theme is Anything Goes with the option of Summer

For my reminder card I have used the clear stamp set Quinn and created her a beachy background

I have an early childhood memory of my Mum and Dad taking me and my sister to a beach where you had to walk from the top of a sandy hill between two stone walls to get down to more sand and the water and this must be where the idea for this card came from.  Haven't a clue what the place was called or I might revisit it lol

I have coloured this scene using Copics

Spider Salutations

Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

Here is another Halloween card from me using the new clear stamps sets.  This one is called Spider Salutations and I was a little stuck for an idea for this set.  However Someone on the team had a vision and so here it is!  You can find lots of inspiration for these new Halloween sets in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group

 

I created the sky using Distress Inks and the Moon is a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil

 

I stamped the spider web over the moon and drew in the tree branches using Copics

 

I then stamped in the dangling spider

 

This took me right out of my comfort zone but I had a lot of fun playing with it

Evil Wormy Apple

Hi Everyone

Here is my latest DT creation for Sweet November Stamps

 

 

 

I am back to Halloween today and this image was my absolute favourite of all the stamps

 

As soon as I saw it I knew it reminded me of the witch's hand from Snow White.  Snow White obviously saw a nice Rosy Red Apple but the Witch saw the truth of the evil spelled apple

 

You can find lots more Halloween Inspiration from the DT in the Friends of Sweet November Facebook Group

 

The image does not include the cloak sleeve so I coloured that in using Copics

 

I kept this card CAS as I really wanted the image to be the star of the show

GD at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge

 Hi Everyone

I was so excited to be chosen as a Guest Designer for Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges 

Thank you to Jan and Donna for inviting me

 

For my GD card I chose to use this image called You Hold The Key

 

It was perfect timing actually to be using this image as school was finishing and I needed a card for my youngest Son to give to his teacher

 

I coloured the image using Copics

 

I think this image would also make a great Christmas Card if you added a touch of snow to the bushes and some snow flakes falling.  I have it printed out on my desk to do just this with it in the future
