Today is the day for me to show you another creation for the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.

Our challenge this month is:

Here is my inspiration post with that theme.

For my Halloween card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Autumn Moon".  I have coloured my image in with Promarkers.  I have used a texture stamp and a splat stamp on the back ground.

The backing papers are from my stash/scraps left over from Halloween cards last year.

Colour Crazy Challenge Blog - Friday 1 October 2021

Today is a sad day for me as due to life/health issues I have decided to step down from two Design Teams to give myself a little time to get in a better place.

Thank you to Ruth for running such a friendly Design Team that I have been on for 4 years since October 2017.  Thanks also to my fellow DT members.  I shall miss being part of the DT but I think it fair to give my slot on the DT to someone who can 100% fully commit.

It is time though for another challenge over at the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog.

The weekly topic is always "anything goes".

This week we are lucky to be sponsored by "Polkadoodles".

For my card I have used the fun image called "Hooray - Sparkle Unicorn" digital stamp from Polkadoodles.  I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with my Sakura clear stardust pen and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Peacock Feathers distress ink.

The backing papers are just scraps from my stash.

I have finished my card off with two different ribbon, flower, gem and a die-cut sentiment.

A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - October 2021

Today is a sad day for me as due to life/health issues I have decided to step down from two Design Teams to give myself a little time to get in a better place.

Thank you to Anne for running such a friendly Design Team that I have been on since April 2020.  Thanks also to my fellow DT members.  I shall miss being part of the DT but I think it fair to give my slot on the DT to someone who can 100% fully commit.

Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.

The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge.

This month our sponsor is "The Hungrey JPEG".

For my card I have used elements from the "Christmas Backgrounds", "Christmas Reindeers", "North Pole" and "Santa's Present Delivery".

I took the background, reindeer stables, Santa with his sleigh and the Reindeer Stables sign into Craft Artist so I could lay it out as a scene, adding a sentiment, and then I could copy the stable and reindeer three times so I could decoupage the main image.

The backing paper is from a "Here Comes Christmas CD" by Polkadoodles.

I have simply finished off the card with the sentiment, white flower soft for a snow effect and some sequins.
