Halloween 2021 -- for SheepSki Designs

 It's October 1, and there is a new challenge underway on the SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog.  The theme this month is hot &/or cold colors.  You don't have to use a SheepSki Designs image, but we sure like to see them (plus you win an extra image if your name is drawn).

For my card for this challenge, I found another gnome to color up!  I love Andrea's gnomes!  This is Masked, and I thought it just might work for Halloween:

I colored Masked With Copic markers, concentrating on this hot reds and cold blue colors.  Then, I went in search of papers that would work for Halloween.  I found them at We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The spider web paper is from the Web Works collection. The other paper has been retired. 

I computer generated the sentiment, and used a die from Crafter's Companion to cut it out and back it.  The bats are a die from from Spellbinders. 

I hope you can join us this month at SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog.  I'd love to see your hot &/or Cold creations!

You are My Favorite! -- for SheepSki Designs

August 1st.  This summer is going so fast!  August 1st also means it's the start of a new challenge at SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog.  The theme of this month's challenge is:  "My Favorite Things".

When I think of my favorite things, many things come to mind, but I might just have been hungry when figuring out my make for the challenge, because here's what I came up with:

I love strawberries!  I especially love when it's strawberry season here in Wisconsin and I can get them fresh out of the patch.  They are one of my favorite things!

This image is Strawberry Season (image #33), and I absolutely love it!  It was also a great image to practice those berry skills on.  I haven't worked on my "shine" for awhile, and I wanted them to look good enough to eat -- mouth watering!

I colored Strawberry Season with Copic markers.  I used a die from Spellbinders Paper Arts to cut it out.  The strawberry designer paper is a long retired piece from Close To My Heart, as is the paper on the tag.  It is now almost gone.  I need a new source of strawberry paper!  The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The sentiment is computer generated.

I hope you can join us this month at SheepSki Designs for our "My Favorite Things" challenge.  Andrea has some gorgeous images to color up.  Check them out in the SheepSki Designs Etsy store.
