Here's my card featuring Black Cat Witch.  I decided to go with a white cat, though, thought it would be something different.  I added a little gold sparkle - love the glitter!

1. Allsorts #177 - autumn colors

2. Sweet Stampin' - Halloween

The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan - fall

We're falling into the season at The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan this fortnight.  I was so inspired by Wishing Well Creations new bundle - Pumpkin Patch - that I made two cards.  One a little darker and one a little brighter, but both very cute.  I layered the papers digitally using Stacks by Girl Boy Girl Designs and added Halloween Sentiments Digital Stamps by Arty Pants Digital Stamps.

For my first card, I used Trick-or-Treat by Saturated Canary.  I couldn't find it in the shop, but she's super cute.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Allsorts #176 - too cute to spook

2. Aud Sentiments #65 - Halloween

For my second card, I used a new release from Tiddly Inks - Witchy Wren.

I printed out the same topper for the inside of the card and added a sentiment.  Digital papers make it so easy to make 2!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Tiddly Inks #95 - fall

2. Crafty Calendar - all things spooky

3. Card Makin' Mamas - Halloween/spooky

4. DRS Designs #46 - witches

Happy Crafting!

Created from Color Basic Class

So, I haven't been around much recently. I've been traveling a lot for work - I think I'm home for a while now.  In my limited crafty time, I've been working on my coloring.  I took the Created from Color Basic Class.  Today, I'm going to share some of my class projects.  Kristy and Melissa have sign-ups for a new basic class.  I'd encourage you to take it if you're looking to improve your coloring skills. For the class, our first assignment was to color an image.  The last assignment was to color the same image.  Here are my first (left) and last (right):

We had an assignment to work on pleats.  I ended up doing this one several times.  I used the feedback I got from Kristy and Melissa on the left image to color the image on the right.  

I love coloring with red.  The red lessons were my favorite and I think my coloring has improved. I dream of someday doing pleats like Zoe and Delphine.  I'm not there yet, but I'm getting better.

The last images I'm going to share - pets.  I love the tips Melissa and Kristy taught for getting texture on animals.

Happy Coloring!
