All Things Magical and Mythical #44 Featuring Unicorn from Simply Sweet Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mystical post. I found this image in my already coloured pile and thought she would be perfect for today's post. The unicorn set is from Simply Sweet Stamps and was sold through Lily of the Valley Stamps. 

I wanted her on or with a rainbow and thought I would use my new Over The Rainbow stencil set from Altenew. I have to say it was very fiddly to use with inks having to tape down every section and hold the ends while trying to use my blender brush at the same time. It also left gaps between some of the arcs, but I went over the whole rainbow with my clear Wink of Stella brush pen and it blended it all together much better. Looks almost water coloured with a touch of shimmer now!

Stamps: Unicorn from Simply Sweet Stamps, Unicorn Sentiment Set from Stamping Bella

Papers: Sweet Sugarplum & Berry Burst (Both Retired) both from Stampin' Up, Ultimate Graphic White Paper, Make It Colour Blending Card from Make It Crafty

Good morning and welcome to today's All Things Magical and Mystical post. I have pulled out an old digi stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps from when I was on their design team a few years back and thought I would go with a blue and yellow combo this time.

13 Days of Hallowe'en Day #6 & Scene It Sunday #66 Featuring Werewolf from Pretty Cute Stamps

 

Good morning and welcome to Day #6 of my 13 Days of Hallowe'en and my Scene It Sunday post #66! For today's card I thought I would do a more masculine Hallowe'en card - I tend to do witches and more girly themed ones, so this one was a great image for something different. 

This cute little werewolf and matching sentiment are from Pretty Cute Stamps, but I printed the sentiment too large for the card really, and then had the idea to tuck it under his paws and it worked brilliantly!

LeAnn's World 101 Challenge #29 Anything Goes

Good Morning and welcome to a new challenge from LeAnn's World 101. This month, as always, our challenge is an Anything Goes challenge and you can use any image you wish to enter. However, if you use an image from LeAnn's Store, then you get an extra entry to win this month's challenge. 

I used the cute Kate At The Beach stamp for me card - ideal for the summer! Just wish we were heading to the beach this summer, but sadly with the current situation (and the crazy amounts of people at the beach here in the UK) we're not going away this year. I'm just not happy to take the risk to mingle with so many strangers just yet!

Lemon Shortbread Flowers and Curls Girl

Good morning! My lovely friend Bettina let me know yesterday that Lemon Shortbread are having a DT call and I thought I would apply. I have a few of these digi stamps and they are gorgeous to colour, so I thought why not give it a go. I often play in their challenges and love all the new designs that Vera releases.

I used the stunning Flowers and Curls Girl for my card and I just love all her hair! I went for a pinky-purple colour combo and tried to imitate the flowers from the image using die cuts in the corner of the card. I do love how this one came out, so fingers crossed it's good enough to be chosen!

Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post - Rainbow After Rain

Good Morning and welcome to another inspiration post from me for the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This week I am sharing with you the gorgeous Rainbow After Rain.

This image is just gorgeous and I really wanted to use the sentiment stamp with her, which came from a set I found on eBay. I thought it would perfect to add to my quotes journal, which hasn't been added to for absolutely ages now!

New Release at Julia Spiri Stamps

Good Morning and welcome to some very exciting news from me today! I have been invited to join the new release design team for Julia Spiri Stamps! These gorgeous stamps are fairly new in the world of crafting but that didn't stop me falling in love with them!

Today we are releasing some new images and I just had to have the gorgeou Gothic Witch for my card. For those of you who know me, know I love all things to do with Hallowe'en and love to make cards and 3D decorations for it. You can purchase her along with all of Julia's other gorgeous images here in the Etsy store.

I went with an easel card for this one and used lots of different papers and stamps to decorate it. Hope you like her. I just love her hair and those gorgeous spider pupils in her eyes!

The Outlawz Friday Colouring Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new Friday Colouring Challenge over at The Outlawz. This week we are challenging you to use chocolate for National Chocolate Day that was on July 7th...mmmmmmm! Love almost everything chocolatey!

I decided to go for a cute image from Di's Digi Downloads that I won a few weeks ago, which is just perfect for this challenge. This is called Hot Chocolate and Cookies! Yes please!
