All creatures great and small!

Happy Sunday.

I have my midway post for our challenge theme

anything goes option animals/birds/creatures, over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS.

We have two great prizes up for grabs so be sure and join us.

For my card I went with a bunny (is it too early??)

I pulled out my Countryside Corners dies to make the card shape

which I ran through with an embossing folder for some texture.

I used Countryside Inn dsp for the first layer

then went with Easter Bunny stamp set for the image.

I was inspired by the sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

I added some clouds to the background and some

grass for him to sit on.

Trick or treat?

As we are now in October I thought I would make a start

on the Halloween stuff for the Grandkids.

First up is a very quick card.

The background has been stencilled using my leaf stencil

and black ink onto copper clay card.

I cut out the white piece using the countryside corners dies.

The sentiment and scary face came from 

Tricks & Treats stamp set.

Luckily it wasn't raining on us!!

Ended up getting both flu and covid.

Today I feel like I have been run over by a truck!

Fingers crossed it clears off soon.

Have a great day (a wet one over here) whatever you are up to!

I went with the pink and green colours, flowers and a butterfly.

Mermaids!

Our new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by the lovely Michele

and she wants to see MERMAIDS.

I do not have a mermaid stamp unfortunately so lifted

this skeleton mermaid from PNG Wing.

I inked up some card using blues, greens and pinks.

I fed the card through my printer so I could get the

mermaid where I wanted it.

Then I cut the tag shape, inked the edges and

stamped some spots in navy here and there.

I stamped the sentiment and chopped it up.

Inked it with some blue and navy on the edges

and stuck in place.

I stapled some velvet ribbon to finish.
