Fall is in the Air

Good Sunday evening, hope you had a great weekend ! I did got a few thing accomplished on the old to do list and still had time to play :)  I made this little card for a challenge that Suzanne Dean gave us on the CMC Copic Challenge group.  The challenge was to color a "Monochromatic image and  copics must be used.  My image is "Fall Birgitta" and she is colored using E30's, E50's, E9 and E43 on Cryogen White cardstock.

I have followed the sketch #121 at Friday Sketchers.  The DP's are Cosmo Cricket, the Autumn line which I have had in my stash for a couple of years.  My flower is handmade you can find instructions @ SCS for the fan fold flower.  I am going to enter this into a few little challenges,

A Spoon Full of Sugar #122 - anything goes

It's a Girl thing

Good Tuesday afternoon to you all ! I tell you I thought things were cooling down around here but holy cow we have had some record heat the past few days 111 on Sunday, and 107 yesterday..hopefully this will be the last of the heat and we will get into the 90's !  This is a busy time for me between work, grand kids sports, and planning a vacation for early next month !  So I took a little time to just play in my craft room.  For my little set I have followed the sketch at Friday Sketchers #120 .  My little image is "Farewell Tilda" and she is out of stock right now but I am sure Diana will have her back real soon.  I have colored my image with copics, I have added stickles to her hankie and the bottom of her little dress.  Her little boots have liquid embossing on them for the shine of leather.  I made this little set for the challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites where they wanted us to use an image from the new "Bon Voyage" collection and make either a little suitcase or backpack.  I thought the little backpack was to cute and perfect for a sweet little girl just going to school, you can find the instructions here.  I have raised the scalloped circle and Tilda for depth.

Here is a side view so you can see the depth.
I am entering this little set into a few challenges:

Stamp Something - wants something digital...all of my papers are digital from Aimee Asher the artist is Bette Duganitz her "Sassy Girl" collection.
Alphabet Challenge - they want unused stash...everything for this was from my unused stash I did not have to get anything.
Totally Tilda - wants us to make our own flowers, my flowers are cut on the wishblade.
Tuesday Morning Sketchers - wants us to make our own flowers also.

here is a little close up of Tilda
Well that is it for me today thanks for coming by.

Best Witches !


Good Monday evening to you all, I hope you are had a wonderful weekend ! The weather here has just been awesome, so much so I have had my AC off at night with morning temps in the low 70's ....gotta love when fall is in the air. Fall also means the holidays are just around the corner, I don't know about you but I love the holidays all of them. One of my favorite artists "Laurie Furnell" is now making stamps this is one of her images it is called "Witchie Poo and kitty". I have used Laurie's art many times when I did not color and loved them, so with this image I tried to color as close to her original as I could and I think it came out really cute.
I followed sketch #119 at Friday Sketchers . My image is colored with copics, papers are digital from some of Laurie's clip art sets. I added stickles to her collar, stars and the moons.
Here is a close up of Witchie Poo !

I am going to enter this into the following challenges
Stamp Something - want Spots and
Stripes.
Simon Says Challenge - wants Holiday fun.
Cute Card Thursday - it is a play on words.
That's it for me have a great day :)

Tilda is going shopping !


Hi there, happy Tuesday to you all...I hope you had a nice long weekend doing something you enjoy. I worked and then went to my son's for a BBQ and just spent time enjoying all the grand kids. I found some time today to color and put this little card together, which was very relaxing.... Suzanne Dean has a little color challenge going on where she want at least 3 shades of blue used on an image of clothing etc., I used B91,93,95,97 for Tilda's jeans, I then took my colorless blender solution and put some on a rag, dabbed it on the pants for a denim look and then used the colorless blender pen to get the center light source high-light.
For my card today I followed the sketch #47 at Papertake Weekly, I am also entering this into a few more challenges.
Pile It On - wants layers...there are 10 layers on this card.
Stamp Something - wants something Cute....all Tilda's are cute IMHO :)
Just Magnolia Special Monthly Challenge - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp and Show - wants to see layers.
All of the papers, flowers, bling are from my stash so I am not sure who they are by. I cut the border on my wishblade.
Thanks for stopping by have a great crafting day !
Hugs ♥
