The Paper Shelter Challenge #614 and All Things Magical and Mythical #138 Featuring Pumpkin Witch

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for this week's challenge from The Paper Shelter. As I'm sure you now know, our beloved Veronica passed away on September 25th and will be sorely missed. 

This week's challenge is my favourite of the year, Hallowe'en or Hallowe'en colours. I have always loved the wide range of Hallowe'en images that Veronica and Pedro release every year and this cutie, Pumpkin Witch, is one of my favourites so far.

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.
