The Paper Shelter Challenge #658 - Anything Goes with the optional twist of Light My Fire

Hearts Quest Fantasy Challenge #11 Anythign Fnasty Goes with optional twist of Yetis

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Hearts Quest Fantasy. This month our challenge is Anything Fantasy Goes with the optional twist of including a yeti or abominable snowman on your card or project.

My card is something I have never done before - it's completely digital. I was really short on time this month and thought I would have time during my half term holiday to get my card done and then just simply ran out of time with all my appointments this week! So I thought I would give a digital card a try and while I think it came out quite cute, I still prefer making cards in real life, with papers, card and some Copic colouring. At least I know there can be a suitable alternative when I don't have the time! 

Recipe:

Stamps: Yeti (Pre-coloured) from Pink Gem Designs

Everything Else: Digital!

Hallowe'en Fun Featuring Spellbinders 13 Days of Craftoween

Good morning and welcome to another of my Hallowe'en Fun posts! I follow Nicole Spohr's blog and absolutely loved what she was doing with the 13 Days of Craftoween box of dies and stamps from Spellbinders, so I had to hunt it down and buy it! 

This card uses the first set of dies to create this fun vampire. I added a few other dies and stencils to create this night time scene as our little vampire flies through the sky! My paint splatter for the stars didn't quite work though, but I think I can get away with it!

The Paper Shelter Challenge #656 - Anything Goes with the optional twist of Hallowe'en, Not Hallowe'en

Good morning everyone and welcome to my Dt post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge as always is an Anything Goes challenge but the optional twist this time is Hallowe'en, Not Hallowe'en. This time we would love to see you use non-traditional colours for a Hallowe'en card or project, so no purple, orange, green and black. 

I tried so hard to do this colour combo and whilst my image using non-Hallowe'en colours, I found it harder to not use those colours in my patterned papers, so I am halfway there! 

My image is the adorable Witchy and Ghostly Friends and I used pinks, brown and teal for the main image. This one is such a cute digi stamp!

Hearts Quest Fantasy Challenge #10 - Anything Fantasy Goes with the optional twist of a Phoenix

Good morning everyone and welcome to my Dt post for the new challenge from Hearts Quest Fantasy Challenge. This month, our challenge is, as always, an anything fantasy goes challenge and the optional twist this time is for you to include a phoenix on your project or card.

For my card, I have used this gorgeously detailed digi stamp, Phoenix, from Selina Fenech. She is always a great artist to use when need fantasy images that are not the usual fairies, mermaids or dragons. I have so many of her stamps and colouring books now and just love how much fun they are to colour! I decided not to add a sentiment to this one for a change as I just couldn't find one that I thought fir this image perfectly enough!
