Just Creeping By

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Aud Sentiments and their challenge is Halloween... remember to use a sentiment.
I printed Doodle Pantry's Spider Greetings out 5 times and all 5 times the spider and web were green! Soooo I coloured over the spider and I'm now praying to the colour printer gods to fix my printer...keep your fingers crossed! I know the card is a little dark being mostly black but IRL the background, spider webs and sentiment are shimmery and look sooo cool!

Farewell Dusty

Good morning, today starts another Stella Says Sketch and the sketch was perfect for a sympathy card that I needed to make.

We walk our neighbours dog 3 times everyday and sometimes my neighbour would also sit for her sister's dog Dusty, so we would take Dusty for a walk too. Well Dusty passed away after almost 16 years and this is the card I made. I love Bugaboo's Knobby Knees images, this is Knobby Knees Girl Sorry. I printed her off twice to pop up the bow and sign.

Good morning! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Operation Write Home and they have a fabulous sketch for us to use.

Here's my take on the sketch. I used Doodle Pantry's Canadian Goose and used prisma pencils/gamsol to colour this Goose, I LOVE how it turned out, the shading is amazing.

Hey Gorgeous

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge Blog this month and the theme is "Things with Wings". I used this cheeky parrot from Doodle Pantry's Parrot Play for the challenge. I LOVE how his beak turned out it almost pops off the page. When I was doing the background I stamped the leaves really well, got a nice clean dark image on the paper and sprinkled the embossing powder over it. When I was heating it I'm thinking " Some places aren't sticking very well, I wonder why..." WELL its because I didn't use versamark first OR craft ink! Taking two weeks holidays isn't a good idea, I forgot how to craft, lol! I do like however the different colours of green it created, the background looks quite awesome IRL.
