~~ Sweet Stampin ~ Doodling

Hello folks

Hope you are having a good weekend. 

 As I schedule this post we are enjoying a beautiful day

 ...humidity has gone, sun is shining with lovely warm breezes down here by the lake.

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

where we have another fun theme for you

"Doodling"

I wasn't sure what I was going to do at the beginning 

but once I got started I was enjoying the process so much I could have gone on 

and doodled the entire page except I needed room to showcase this awesome digi!  

 This a is dwarf #5 from Mo's Digital Pencil  

I've collected 3 of these fellas so far...think they make a great masculine card.

Sentiment is a stamp from MFT 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments Challenge #258  9.8

Mo's Digital Pencil #294   9.8

Cutie Pie Challenge #150

with a theme of

Hip to be Square

Our lovely sponsor this month is the fabulous

Lee Holland Art

I've chosen a pre-coloured image called Dragon with Balloon
available here in the shop.

I printed the image twice, stamped a Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday

~~~ Backgrounds at Sweet Stampin ~~~

Good morning friends,

I hope you are well and keeping safe.

I finally was able to get my hair cut yesterday...
lots of restrictions but I so appreciate them opening and abiding by the rules.

Was not really lovin my Covid hairdo so this was a real treat to get it cut.

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

where the theme is "Make your Own Background"

I had so much fun stepping out of my comfort zone for this one.

The MFT stamps are from the "You bring a Smile" set. 

I created the sky using TH Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers ink and a small cloud stencil.

First attempt at this and it took a little tweeking before I was happy.  

For the grass I first brushed on TH Distress Oxide ink Cracked Pistachio then flicked Copic markers

and Polychromo pencil on to create the blades of grass.

All the images coloured with Copics with exception of the bird which was coloured with pencil.

Sentiment is also from the set.
