Ria: 10/01/2021 - 11/01/2021

I created this card with a freebie from Mariola Budek. She is giving away a coloringbook page in her FB group and this was day 3 Harvest. Isn't she the cutest.... Colored her with the Spectrum Noir Illustrators and Colourblend pencils.

The background I created with the Gelpress. I made 2 backgrounds one just with the roler adding some Spectrum Noir Opaque Green Topaz, Frosty Jade and MidasJade Green together and the other background I used the Nateral Stone large stencil from Crafter's Companion. And I ripped those 2 backgrounds up and glued them over eachother this really looked nice already but than I decided I wanted to use an embossing folder onto it as well and I didn't have 15x15 embossingfolders that where what I was looking for and than I found this Oldy from Tattered Lace and it is perfect for this card. The sentiment is from the Autumn Blessings collection- Heartfelt wishes.

I would love to play the following challenges....

Today is all about you! WITCHES....

hihihi I was having a bit to much fun when I was creating this card. This is Broom hilda from Twistoon digistamps. I am in love with the cute characters Lisa has been creating! So I made the background with the Spectrum Noir Opaque inkpads Plum Jam, Damson Wine and stamped the border and the butterflies from a German Crafter's Companion stamp set Schmetterlingswiese with the Finesse waterproof inkpad black. I used the Eclipse alphabet from the Eclipse stamping card box from Crafter's Companion and used all kinds of scrap paper for the letters. Broom Hilda is colored with the Spectrum Noir Illustrators and Colourblend pencils.

it's penguin-ing to look a lot like Christmas....

Today it was time to sit down and play a little in between going to therapy and getting meds. So i played with the new Emily with Penguin from Conie Fong. 

I combined her with the Sparkling Snow embossing folder and the Stamp and Die set Peek A Boo penguin and Circle frame by Crafter's Companion. 

She is colored with the Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Colourblend pencils. I am really happy with how she turned out on the card with the dies and embossing folder 

I would like to play the following challenges....

Hello Autumn...

Hello Autumn and sad goodbye to a Summer that never really started here in the Netherlands :)

So for my card today I used this cute stamp set by Kate Hadfield Design called

Walk in to the woods...

I colored them with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers both the brush and nib versions.

The background is with one of my fav 3d embossing folders from Crafter's Companion, Decadent Lillies and used the Spectrum Noir Opaque inkpads for coloring. The sentiment is from the Gemini Everyday phrases and the die is from the All Occansion Banners. The larger die is from my stash.
