31 Nights of Halloween - Night 20 and don't forget it's release day!

Hi Everyone, it's Faye here today :)

Have you been enjoying all the spooky creations so far this month? They've been absolutely gorgeous haven't they? Before I start telling you about my card, I just wanted to remind you we've had another fab release today, if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to pop over to the store. It's cute, you won't want to miss it!

Alrighty then! Let's talk pumpkins. This row of cuties are from the FaDoodle Fall Set. I coloured them up with copics and then stamped the faces on top. Sorted.

Using the largest die from the Frame Doodles Scallop Rectangle Die Set and another die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangles, I've created a frame for the pumpkins. I used tape to hold the two dies in position so I could cut three, identical frames. I've stacked and stuck them together, to add some depth to the card. 

All I needed then, was a sweet little spider, a sentiment and this pumpkin paper from the Vintage Halloween Paper Pack and the job was done. I love it when a plan comes together.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great day...

Tuesday Tutorial with Faye

 Hiya, it's Faye here today :)

I thought I'd get my gnome on and play with some of the cuties from the Gnome One Like You set.

Aren't they just the sweetest! I've coloured them with copics.

I wanted to make the gnomes look like they are quite small, so I drew and coloured a couple of toadstools behind, to help create that illusion.

To finish the card, I doodled a border, stamped a sentiment from the Simple Sentiment Strips Clear Stamp Set and used the scallop die from the Quilted Rainbow Inlaid Die Set. Sorted!

If you're not feeling confident doodling, you could try FaDoodles, FaDoodles Too or FaDoodle Frames and stamp them instead.

I've created speedcolouring videos of my colouring process for this card, split into two parts. 

In the first video, I deal with the toadstool background...

And in the second video, I colour the gnomes themselves...

Technique Tuesday - Cute Cacti Colour Along

Hi Everyone, it's Faye here today :)

Did you see the Cute Cactus Stamp Set, matching dies and papers released last week? Like you, I get excited about new stuff, so I thought I would share my colouring process as I play with one of the images from this set today. 

Ready? Let's go then!

My light source is coming from the top left, and, because I know I am going to die cut the image when I have finished with it, I have stamped it in black ink on a scrap of paper. I love using something from my bag of scrap card, but it has made a naughty little line at the top of all my scans, sorry about that. Most of the time when I colour, I lay down my medium tone first, to plan where my shading will be. But sometimes, I pull up my pants and just go for it...
