Panda in a Mug by Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps

 Hi dear friends!  Happy Saturday.  There is a 2021 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop going on now.  It ends on Friday, November 19.  I love coffee and I drink two big mugs every morning.

 I made this card using the adorable "Panda in a Cup" image by Sasayaki Glitter but, unfortunately, their etsy shop has no items listed.  It is an old image so perhaps that is why.

The image is coloured with Copic markers.  The Coffee Love Frame is an SVG file which I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The image iscut and matted using Spellbinders "Standard Circles Large" dies.   I made the pinwheel bow and the flowers are from I Am Roses.

Thank you for stopping by.  I wish you a happy weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Frame around image:   Spellbinders "Standard Circles Large" dies
Coffee cup frame:        Silhouette Design Store SVG

Pearl flourish:              Recollections from Michaels Arts and Crafts

Exotic Halloween by Ching-Chou Kuik

 Hello!  I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  Here we are with a brand new month.  That means that a new challenge has started on Ching-Chou Kuik's Facebook group and her challenge blog.

This month's theme is "Spooky or Halloween or Pumpkins or Halloween Colours".  Such fun themes!

This fabulous image is Ching-Chou's "Exotic Halloween", found here:

This month is a special one for Ching-Chou as it is the 6th anniversary of her Facebook group and challenge blog.  What an amazing achievement!  If you enter her Facebook challenge, you will receive a gorgeous image ("Divine") at the end of the month. 

And, if you enter her blog challenge, you will receive the beautiful "Night Watchers" image at the end of the month. So, what are you waiting for?

This lovely image is coloured with Copics and some Polychromos. I stamped a couple of cobwebs on the corners of the image, and I added glitter to the flames.

Until next time, hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Ghost:     Memory Box "Ghost Trio" die

Flowers:  I Am Roses

Ribbon is from my stash.  

The word "Boo" is computer generated, and then I used the Ghost Trio die to cut out the cute little ghost.

Blowing in the Wind by Ching-Chou Kuik

Happy Monday, friends!  The weather here has cooled down considerably.  Fall is almost here!  Today, I am sharing with you my inspirational card for Ching-Chou's Facebook challenge. 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/chingchoukuikdigitalstamps/ 

This month's theme is "Think Pink for Breast Cancer".  However, the Design Team members' theme for this week is "Decorative Borders".  This truly stunning image is "Blowing in the Wind", found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/723711643/blowing-in-the-wind-printable-instant?ref=shop_home_active_39

I coloured this lovely image with my favourite mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  I added a bit of Wink of Stella (clear) to her wings and to the butterflies.  The flowers are from I Am Roses.  The sentiment is raised with 3-D foam.

Ching-Chou also has a challenge blog.
