Well, Halloween is almost here and I'm sure all the little witches, goblins, and ghosts are getting ready. It looks like Mimosa and her little cat are getting ready to go out and do some haunting.

This has to be the sweetest little witch I have ever seen.

The stamps is Mimosa Witch. I have colored her with copics to match the colors in this fun Halloween paper- Lollipop Lizzy from Imaginisce. I stitched around the edges of the layers and then added a few prima flowers up in the corner. I sprayed the roses with my copic airbrush to turn them black and green to match the paper. Then I added some black rose ribbon along the side. I love the way black tulle looks on Halloween projects. The sentiment in the corner is from the Bildmalarna fall kit. I stamped it on textured cardstock to give it kind of a distressed look. Don't forget, this is an anything goes challenge, so please link your projects.

Another Sketch Challenge

Seems like I have been doing a lot of sketch challenges lately. This one is for the challenge at Bildmalarna Blog. I love Bildmalarna stamps, the characters are absolutely adorable!!! So, here is a picture of the sketch we are using.

Here is my card.

I used this absolutely adorable of image of Mimosa in a bath tub that was part of the Bildmalarna Summer kit. Now, this kit is no longer available, but you can still get the Fall version at Bildmalarana.com. My color palette was inspired by different shades from the Cosmo Cricket background paper that I used. I also used a piece of the new Cosmo Cricket core'dinations cardstock which coordinates with the paper and comes pre-embossed. Mimosa is colored with my copic markers. I tried to grunge the image up a little bit by adding some shadows with my W1 marker so that the colors wouldn't be too bright and would go with the distressed vintage look of the papers. I finished it off with a grungy paper flower. This was made with 8 scalloped circles cut with my cricut. I then sprayed them with water, wadded them up, unfolded them, put a brad through all the layers, and then squeezed it into a flower shape. If this sounds confusing, if you look for paper flowers on youtube, you should be able to find the video.

A Bildmalarna Mother's Day

I hope all the mothers out there had a fantastic mother's day! I know I did. My little piggy made me breakfast, we went shopping, and then out to dinner. It was a very fun day. We are hosting a Mother's Day challenge on Bildmalarna Blog. I decided to use this adorable new stamp of Tossa and a swan that was included in the Summer Kit from Bildmalarna.

The entire kit was adorable and I can't wait to use all of them. If you love Bildmalarna stamps, you do not want to miss out on the kits. Anyway, for my Tossa and swan card, I used Cosmo Cricket designer paper as well as the new Cosmo Cricket core'dinations in neutral. I added some Prima flowers and a sentiment from Just Rite. To top off Tossa's beautiful swan, I added a little bit of stickles. We would love to see what type of mother's day project you can create using Bildmalarna stamps, so stop by and show us what you've done.
