Fluttering by

 This is my 2nd post today.

I had time today to just sit and play.  I knew I wanted to test out my new

Tim Holtz Distress pencils so went into that huge contained of

already stamped images and found one with a butterfly and played.

I found I liked the method of taking the water brush to the

pencil the best.  I did not use watercolor paper which is

supposed to be the best and look forward to trying that. I then

went to Sketch Saturday and pulled out one of my snippet boxes. I added

a bit of stenciling to tie it together for some of my favorite challenges

that I have neglected lately.  

A few fun challenges:

Butterfly Challenge # 174: #1 Butterfly & 4 colors: Cyan, Chartreuse, Canary, Chili red 10/25

Birthday card

 

Celebrated our granddaughters 3rd birthday this weekend. I made this

card for her using MFT's Beautiful Girl set, My Mind's Eye paper, frame

die by Pawsitively. Was a fun day celebrating and visiting with people

we don't get to see very often.

JDS-Candy Corn Witch

 It's a new month so a new challenge at Jan's Digi Stamp Challenge.

I had fun creating with her Candy Corn Witch.  I arranges the pre-colored

candy to make a digital background and then I colored the witch with 

Copics.  I made a swing for her and die cut the sentiment. A strip of

Wash tape to add interest and I was done.
