Happy Halloween

Well it’s Halloween here in Australia and I decided to play along with the current challenge over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #221 H is for Halloween.

I used one of the grumpy cats from Katzelkraft coloured with my Stampin Blends and popped onto a panel die cut with the new Stampin Up Texture Dies and some Gingham Cottage DSP. The sentiment I created on my PC.

Fusion: Kitchen

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I found my inspiration from the window in the photo with that pretty garland around the frame.

I then die cut a few leaves and flowers for balance outside the glasshouse.
