Happy Halloween,

Christmas in October

Happy Wednesday,

Can you believe October is almost over? Yikes! So I decided to create a Christmas tag. 

I colored her skin and hair with Copic Markers and then I paper pieced her outfit. To add some glam I gave her gold glitter tights and black glitter shoes. For the trim on her skirt and belt I used liquid snow with some fine white glitter. The paper I used was from graphic 45 and her skirt is a Christmas Memory box paper. I created the snowflakes first by stenciling a red floral print then it was layered with Magnolia Doo Hickey Big Cozy Snowflake and Memory box snowflake dies. A red pearl was added to each. I hope I have inspired you to create a Christmas project.

Lili's Pumpkin

Good Evening,

Boy, I had a busy day of cleaning. But it sure does feel good when your house feels spotless. Today I would like to share this Halloween gift bag I made starring Lili! Shh, don't tell anyone she is my favorite character from Inky Impressions.

I used Tim Holtz in the bag die to cut out my bag. Lili's face was colored with E000, E00, R20, B21; hair E25, E31, E59; leave YG93, YG895; pumpkin YR13, YR15, YR17. I paper pieced her out using Carte Bella Halloween paper. I added bling to her out for a belt. I cut out the oval from my spellbinders die using Graphic 45 Steampunk paper. To complete my design I used bling and black netting to create my bow. I hope I have inspired you today to create a Halloween or Fall project.

Here is a couple of closer views:
