Scene It Sunday #203 Featuring Sweet Spiders from Lawn Fawn

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. This week, I have these super cute, but creepy spiders, gathering their treats for Hallowe'en! I don't always buy the matching dies to my Lawn Fawn stamp sets, but all the stamps in these two stamp sets were far too small and fiddly to cut out and boy am I glad I did! I wish I had stamped more treats though!

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Hearts Quest Fantasy. As always the challenge is an Anything Fantasy Goes and the added optional theme this time is to use a griffin image.

The only griffin stamp I have is a small Lawn Fawn one, so I headed over to Etsy and found this stunning image from Selina Fenech, Griffin Winged Magic. I loved colouring this one up, but it got a little fiddly cutting him out! As the image was so big and busy, I kept the rest of the card simple.
