I've had a play with my favourite hedgehogs - I love these little guys and they always make me smile when I colour them. As usual I've watercoloured my image using DI reinkers and my dinkiest brush for some of those prickly details. I've opted for 'no lines' by stamping the images in pale grey ink. I masked each element of the scene, starting with the parts at the front (the hedgehogs) and working my way 'backwards' with the toadstool, tree stump and lastly the log. Finally I drew some grass (with a very fine brush!) The sentiment is from the same stamp set and the clouds are created using an MFT stencil.
And here's their close up - say "cheese" guys! :0)
Hey everyone it's Elaine, back with some inspiration today here on the Dies to Die For blog featuring some of the brand new Stamping Bella Fall 2017 release!
Watch me colouring this adorable hedgie in the video below or in HD over on my YouTube channel. I now create videos for all the Stamping Bella releases, so make sure you check out the playlists over there! Full Copic details are supplied in the videos
Here's my second card, this time with a pencil coloured hedgie!
I also used one of the Little Bits sets to create the background piece for this one. Love having all the separate accessories available as well as having the pre-assembled "Littles".
Debs here with my usual Monday Morning Inspiration and this week I just had to have a play with this adorable 'too cute to spook' witch - and to think I initially thought wouldn't 'need' this stamp and die set - who was I tying to kid lol!!!
There are two stamps (and a sentiment actually) in the Stamping Bella Squidgy and Teddy Set. One of the Squidgy's is a good size for a card and the other is a good size for journaling.
I was sitting looking at the packet the other day, trying to decide what to do with the smaller of the two Squidgy's, when it came to me... use the smaller Squidgy to create a background. Bosh! Job done.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Have you seen the new Mama Elephant release which has just been added to the website?! I may have treated myself to a few things, but while I wait for those I've been playing with the older set of reindeer...sooooo cute!
I also can't tell you how much I love this sentiment set; it's absolutely gorgeous :-)

If you follow my blog then you will know that I have a real soft spot for little pingus and this one is one I would love to just scoop up and snuggle. Isn't he ADORABLE! He's from the Toasty Greetings set from Dies to Die For and I've used a sentiment from the same set.
I really do NOT need any new Christmas stash...ooooh, look...Lawn Fawn loveliness...
This mini wreath is just the sweetest...
If you fancy something a little larger, then this 'build your own' style wreath is perfect and doesn't it look fab teamed with the new Knit Picky papers?

It's another CAS card from me today featuring this adorable birthday bear in his fun hat. I'm not usually one for lots of different colours on my images, preferring to stick with one or two main colours, but this cute chappie asked for a rainbow hat. Who was I to deny him?! :0)
When my hair goes white (not too far away if the boys in my house have anything to do with proceedings!) I am going to be outrageous and have coloured hair. Turquoise. Purple. Pink. Maybe even all at the same time!
It's a super simple card from me today with the full focus on this cute little fox cub from Whimsy's Lee Holland collection. I've done a smidgen of doodling around the edge to frame him and layered the image and backing paper onto Kraft card, but otherwise, that's it. Simples! :0)
This is another cutie from the MFT Cool Cat Stamp Set. I've masked the stamps to create a little pile of cushions for the kitty to sit on and the sentiment is from the same set.
So, I love pigs. I think they're cute. This was possibly reflected in my last order. Who needs all that delicious new release stuff, huh? ;)
Unsurprisingly, I was in a fairly CAS mood when I made this, which I thought was perfect for Especially For You Petunia, along with some FaDoodles. (You've seen FaDoodles, right?!)That's my line and I'm sticking with it. I'm off to find some more sweet piggies ;)
Sorry for sharing a Christmas card in August but I just couldn't resist colouring up this cute Tiddly Inks image!
I am also going for the record for 'shortest time to use new stash' as the foliage and speech bubble dies are from the brand new MFT release and Postie handed them over yesterday morning and they were on this card by early afternoon!

Things don't come much more CAS than today's card featuring an image from MFT's Cool Cat Stamp Set. Those of you who have been adopted as servants to a kitty may recognise this pose which is very well practised by my own furry feline disposal unit.
