TOMIC - Halloween + colour combo + bats!

Hey there everyone....

there is a new challenge over at TOMIC this week - and we have some extra special news to share...

head on over to TOMIC to check it out...

the challenge this month is:

Halloween + bats + colour combo = black, purple and orange.

Not being a big Halloween fan, we dont really celebrate it here in Aus, I used this cute little Tilda with her broom and went to town with some DIs to colour her.

The card is cut with Spellbinders and decorated with Doo Hickey dies and my bats are cut from Magnolia ink papers. The flowers and lace are all Wild Orchid Crafts.

The sentiment is from my friend Claudia.

All of the edges are inked with Tea Stain DI.

I had a lot of fun painting this little darling up. I hope you get a chance to visit TOMIC and see what the sad news is.

I would like to thank Kianel and the co-ordinators at TOMIC for a fabulous 18 months.

It has been a ball.

This is not the end.

Take care my Maggie friends,

have a fantastic week

(A big shout out to Janne!! take care Hunny!!)

See you all on the weekend

Hugs - Me xx

Hey there crafty friends. 

I hope your weekend is going swimmingly. 

There is a new challenge over at MDUC today.... your favourite colour combo - use 3-4 of your fav colours. Blue and kraft are usually two of my favourite colours. And I adore red as well, so it made lots of sense to put them all together for this challenge.

The cutie stamp is Magnolia from the Little Christmas collection and I sat down and painted him up with DIs.  

The flowers, lace and ribbon are all Wild Orchid Crafts.

I hope you have a chance to share your favourite color combo with us this week. We'd love to see what you come up with. Til then, have a great week!

Flip Flop Tilda

Hmm... so I attempted water colouring again.... I go through stages you see. When I just want to sit and paint.  It seems that it will be relaxing... but I usually end up painting three images before I am happy enough with one. This is the first of about 4 water coloured images that have made it to cards... we'll see how we go!

There is a new challenge up at Wild Orchid Challenges this week - this time we are looking for Anything Goes.

The papers are Authentique and this is adorable Flip Flop Tilda from the Summer Memories collection.

So this is my attempt at painting... yes, I know I have a lot of practice ahead of me, haha, but it is really enjoyable and makes a nice change from markers. 

Have a great week,

Hugs x
