The trees are cut using MB Magnificent Pine die

Hi everyone,

I've used some fall colours on my card today for
Fab'n'Funky Challenge #319 
hosted by our lovely Catherine with a theme of "Lace and/or Ribbon".  

This is one of my favourite creations.  I just loved this Aurora Wings image that I

was fortunate enough to win on a challenge - Thank You Mitzi.

I thought she deserved a little Copic ombre colouring.

I coloured this during our stay in Muskoka this summer. Each night we had  visits from

two barred owls, one of which we managed to capture on camera,
 that I'll show you a little later in the post if you hang with me.

We have the wonderful Live & Love Crafts sponsoring us this week

Digital at TPS #262

Hi everyone,

As always we are sponsored by the lovely Veronica and Pedro

who are offering a fabulous prize of  3 digis of your choice or $30

to spend in the shop  if you use a TPS image on your creation.

As much as I enjoy colouring I really do love the TPS pre-coloured images and layouts.

The one I've used today has been a favourite of mine..

I think because of the colours and wonderful shading and detail.

I cut and added a TH weathered clock underneath one layer.

Added some TH metal sprockets, then cut some SB feathers, did a little stitching

and put everything together on a GoKreate Frilly #9 die cut base.
