Worldwide Crafters & Colorists September Blog Challenge

Welcome to September's Worldwide Crafters and Colorists Blog Challenge #9. There are 5 images for the DT to showcase and I chose "Maisie". Julia Spiri's talent has always been a favourite of mine ever since I discovered digital stamps,

I have printed Maisie on white cardstock. Ordinary coloured pencils were used and I also coloured another headband and bow to stand out. I love Maisie, she could be coloured in any shades, she is so cute!

The WorldWide Crafters and Colorists Blog challenge runs from 15 September until 12 October. There are lots of beautiful images in Julia's shop and you can nearly always grab a discounted image in her shop. Don't forget to Look!

SheepSki Designs Blog Challenge for September

This month's blog challenge over at SheepSki Designs has an optional twist of "Make it Feminine".

I have chosen "Rachel" to make a birthday card for my granddaughter.

I used a stitched square to diecut the images and mounted them with foam tape on a square white card, simple but very meaningful for my granddaughter.

The donkeys are clip art from Thursday NY Prints

As a follower of my blog, you are eligible to use this discount at SheepSki Designs Etsy shop SKIANDREA10

I hope you will join in our September Blog Challenge. We also run a Facebook challenge too, so join here if you aren't a member of the group yet.

See you in the Blog challenge and good luck with your entry.

Morgan's ArtWorld September Blog Challenge

Welcome to our September "Anything Goes" Blog Challenge. The five images the creative team are showcasing this month are below.

I chose Cameo 11 to make a birthday card. I used black and gold papers, cutting out a square from one to show the image and added the chipboard frame painted with a gold Posco pen.
