Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  Halloween is almost upon us and that always makes me smile because I have such cherished memories of my children wearing their Halloween costumes (which I made) when they were young.  They are adults now but I still send them Halloween cards and a special treat!  

I made this card some time ago and never posted it, so here it is.  It features the adorable Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings.

I used Copic markers to colour this super cute image.  The flower is handmade and also coloured with Copics.  The stamens were originally white but I coloured them with my trusty Copics.

That's all from me for this post.  Thanks so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

Greetings friends!  Welcome to my DT post today for Digi Doodle Studios.  Halloween always evokes such warm and wonderful memories for me.  My kids and I very much enjoyed decorating the inside of our house, as well as the outside, for this fun holiday.  My sons loved wearing their costumes to school, and taking part in the parade outside the school while proud parents watched them.  Then, we would go Trick-or-Treating after dinner while their dad waited for other Trick-or Treaters to visit our house.

This sweet image is Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios.  I drew the background except for the haunted house.  Copics and Polychromos were used to colour the image and background.

Digi Doodle Studios has both a challenge blog and a Facebook challenge.  The Theme this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  

This will be my last post for Digi Doodle Studios because they are shutting down at the end of this month.  Why not visit their etsy shop before they close their doors?  DDS will, however, continue to create adorable clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.  

That's all from me today.  I thank you for visiting, and I with you a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  Halloween always brings back some wonderful memories of my children when they would dress up in their costumes and go Trick-or-Treating around our neighbourhood.  What fun they had!  Of course, I would drive them to each house.  I also had a lot of fun making their costumes.  

The theme on the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge.

I chose the fabulous Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios for my DT card.  I just had to draw a background for this cute witch.  

I used a combination of Copics and Polychromos to colour the image and background.  The cobwebs and the cute little black kitty are stamps that I have in my stash.  

I am really sad to inform you that Digi Doodle Studios will be closing its etsy shop at the end of this month.  So, hurry over and visit before they close their doors.  They will, however, continue to produce clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.

Thank you for visiting.  I truly appreciate it.  Have a lovely day, and take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx

Pumpkin Mouse by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Hi there, friends!  Time for a brand new challenge over at the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog.  

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

I love Halloween because my boys used to love going Trick-or-Treating.  Such cherished memories!

For my DT inspirational card, I chose the adorable "Pumpkin Mouse" image by Lemon Shortbread, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/477287683/digital-stamp-pumpkin-mouse-digi?ref=shop_home_active_118

I wanted to add some texture so I used an embossing folder and inked it with autumn colours.  As usual, the image is coloured with Copics and Polychromos.  I used 3-D foam under the sentiment.

I wish you a happy day.  Until next time.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Frames:      Coluzzle Cutting System "Ovals"

Sentiment:  Free clipart from the Internet

Embossing folder:  Darice "Fall Leaf Background"

Little Magic by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hi friends!  I am sharing my latest Halloween DT  inspirational card which I made for Ching-Chou Kuik's current Facebook challenge.  

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

This darling image is "Little Magic", found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/730310529/little-magic-printable-instant-download?ref=shop_home_active_11 

I made the broom by using part of a paintbrush and wrapped twine at the end of the brush.  To flatten the twine a bit, I used a mixture of water and Mod Podge and brushed it on the twine.  

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image.  I cut the cobweb twice to give it some dimension and interest. 

Ching-Chou also has a challenge blog.  If you enter either challenge, or both, you may win some beautiful images.

http://cck-digitalstamps-challenge.blogspot.com/

I wish you a happy week.  Hope to see you again.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Frame:        Spellbinders "Curved Rectangles" dies
Fence:         Martha Stewart "Iron Fence" punch
Cobweb:     Joanna Sheen "Cobweb Corner" die SD491
Sentiment:  Free clipart from the Internet
The ribbon is from my stash.

Cat Burglar Girl by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

Hey peeps!  I love October because it brings back such wonderful memories of my boys when they were young and could not wait to go Trick-or-Treating.  I also remember the fun I had making all of their Halloween costumes.  Those were the days! 

A new challenge has started on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog.  http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

I decided to use the darling "Cat Burglar Girl" image, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/230083045/digital-stamp-cat-burglar-girl-catwoman?ref=shop_home_active_2

The image is coloured with Copics and Polychromos.  I found the free background and the sentiment on the Internet.  The sentiment is raised with 3-D foam.  

I thought I would include the very first professional Halloween photo of my boys.  Adorable, aren't they?

Thank you for visiting.  I appreciate it.  Have a lovely day.  

Hugs, Lori xx
