Creative Day

I had some time Saturday to create and I enjoyed every minute of it!  A few friends from the Alpha challenge were on Zoom, so I was not alone in my craft room : )  

I went to SCS for challenges, and used those prompts for my cardmaking. 

This week, the water color challenge #15 is to color die cuts.  I used quite a few on this card.  The Squirrel is by Gina Marie, the acorn and leaves are Cheery Lynn and the grass - I do not know.....  ALl were water colored using Distress inks and or SU inks. 

I also used this card for my Alpha challenge for X and E .  Well, I have a MFT die (a tic-tac-toe board) and cut out the x's and used distress inks to add them to the background and used the E=enamel dots. 

My husband is a bit squirrel obsessed.  He was raised on a farm- there are NO squirrels- so when he moved to the city, became quite intrigued with the little fella's  We have red/brown squirrels and gray squirrels in out backyard!

This card is for the watercolor #14 challenge. I used a combination of stamps for this challenge, first applying a ghost image then adding more ink over them.  I loved this challenge and was very happy with my results. I used Daniel Smith watercolors on Arches 140# Hot press paper. 

Stamps by Hero Arts, Hampton Arts and the sentiment is by Unity. 

 And, finally, I made a card for the Free for all challenge using Cute Halloween cards. This set is by CC Designs and so reminds me of when my kids were younger!  I love this!  The images were cut out using the Scan n Cut and colored using Copics. I added a flourish my Alpha friend sent to me (Thanks Sharon) and added them over a die cut I made about a year ago and had in my stash. 

We are back from a little trip to Michigan just to get a change of scenery.  

 One of the days we did a 25 mile bike ride through a State Park system- just us and wildlife : )  It was fabulous- although, a bit chilly! Now, back to reality!

Thanks for stopping by!
