Have a Very Merry Christmas Slimline card

I wasn't sure how this stencil would work on a slimline so I thought I would try it. It needed a large sentiment to go underneath.

Winnie the Pooh

I watercolored Winnie the Pooh here trying to climb in this big coffee cup. I love the coffee bean stencil even though I am not a fan of coffee. LOL I used some Glossy Accents for the coffee too to add some shine.

May Your Night Be Creepy

For the background, I came across this you tube video how she made her own "ink smoosher" out of saran wrap, paper towels and a rubber band. It's so easy and I love to smoosh it around the paper to get a quick background. LOL

Halloween lights with Owl

{PIN}spirational Challenges - September - Ready for School Even though this challenge prompt has Back to School on it, I was inspired by the hanging lights in the window for my Fall card.

The Four Season Challenge - Fall

I bent over yesterday wrong and pulled something in my back so I am out of commission for a few days. I went to Urgent Care and got a shot so let's hope it works fast. I can barely walk or sit so I am typing this from my bed on my laptop.

Happy September!!
