Hello everyone! This week I’m in autumn and Halloween mood! There are so many adorable stamps to choose from in the store, I had a hard time making my mind but went for Tiny Townie Wanda the Witch and her Cauldron which I have never coloured before. I used a seasonal background too, Pumpkin House Backdrop and I decided to keep only a part of it, it’s always more natural in a scene. The sentiment I used is from the Autumn Sentiment set.
I coloured everything in Copics and only added a bit of texture on the edges of my card and a bit of black Posca pen.
Copic markers used:
Skin: E000, 00, 11, 71
Hair: 100, W5, 7
Purple: V09, 15, 17
Black: 100, W5, 7
Orange: Y35, YR04, 07
Cauldron: E08, 09, R59
Sky: RV10, 11
Ground: E51, 53, 55, 57
Grass: G14, 17, 28
Bushes: G28, Y13, YG03, 17, 67
House: E09, Y35, YR04, 07
Windows: Y13, 35, 38
Door: E31, 35, 59
Leaves: R37, Y35, YR27
Happy stamping and crafting!

Apologies that there was no Monday post this week – things are a little hectic preparing for *whisper* our next release. More on that very soon…
I’m back today though, with a card and colouring video featuring our gorgeous Uptown Girl Greta loves to Garden stamp!
She’s such a great stamp for this time of year! I paired her with some sentiment dies from my stash, and created a fun shaker card.
Watch me colour this stamp in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.

Hi friends!
Amy here with another Scenic Saturday post on the Blogabella. This week I’ve inked up a cute older stamp called, The Gnome and the Squirrel. This one has been in my crafty stash for a while now, just waiting to be inked up. With the nights getting cooler and the leaves beginning to change, this felt like the perfect time to get these two on a card celebrating the season.
I began by inking them up using a dark drown ink rather than black, to give the card a slightly softer look. The fluffy squirrel and the gnome where both colored in earthy autumnal colors before I set in on the rest of the scene. A large tree root directly behind the gnome helps play up their diminutive size, while on the other side of the card you see more of the tree trunk which makes that tree appear to be further off in the distance. To continue playing up that sense of space within the scene I extended the field of green grass half way up the card front then topped it off with a hedge row of Fall colored trees. This simple technique provides just enough background to be interesting yet not too distracting from this friendly pair exchanging tasty acorns. The sentiment is from the Autumn Sentiment set and it keeps the theme of the card general enough that I can send it for any number of occasions that may come up this time of year. 🙂
Stay crafty my friends!

Let’s get into the inspiration! This week the Babes were asked to create something using older (but still available) stamps from our collection. Feel free to play along and do the same and share your creations with us.
I love the clean look and fall colours on Michele’s card! The paper piecing on Curvy Girl’s outfit is wonderful too.
More gorgeous paper piecing, this time from Steph! It’s such a great way to create stylish outfits, and so easy to add detail and shading with markers or pencils.
I love that Sandra chose to spook up a non-Halloween stamp! Poor little Harry the Stuffie looks terrified delivering that card!
Ginger made this Oddball even more quirky and fun by adding some oversized die cut glasses! Love how he looks against the kraft too.
Delphine chose our sweet Bundle Girl for her card. Love the mixed media look of that background.
A sweet little card from Alice! Her use of white space and soft layers is always so lovely.
Loving our Queen of Hearts in royal blue from Debra!
I’m in full on Halloween colouring mode now, and I couldn’t resist playing with a favourite from last year! Love this sweet little witchy. I didn’t film the colouring process this time, but have added my original video for her below in case you would like to reference that one!
