                                                  Thank you to everyone who voted, Im so exited to get to do another blog with the winners and Kylie!!  Todays card is beautiful scene that reminds me of home, west coast of Canada.

  Our challenge for this month is coloured inspiration from these stunning books.  Does anyone else see a Harry Potter colour theme????  Ok so I didn't have gold foil and I was NOT brining out the golf leafing with my 2 kittens (who are adorable but there kittens so there rascally lol) So I went with wild wheat and the new gold metallic enamel effects. If you put wink a Stella over the wild wheat it looks like gold as well.  Blog Hop Index

  Todays card is featuring our new fun bundle forever forest. I went for a grey foggy day which is a  quintessential day for us here on the west coast, and happens to me my favorite kind of day.  TO create this effect I stamped my trees with black ink on Smokey slate card stock and then used the craft whisper ink on a blending brush, whipping it over the card to create a blurring effect.  I used a cut out circle matte to and rubbed the blending brush on the edge to create a light sun glow.  Then I die cut the mountains trees, and I embossed the sentiment.  Toped the card off with embellishments.  Blog Hop Index

  Today we are featuring the new Mini fall & winter catalog, is generally my favorite one we bring out and this year was no exception as they had my FAVOURIT wild animal in a stamp set. ORCA'S.  The whale watching set is stunning featuring 3 different orca's, some waves, land/rocks and clouds.  It is a stunning set. For this card I went with the northern lights. I cut out the circle with a new set the Deckled circle dies. The set of circles is huge featuring 14 dies the largest being   5-3/4 " Diameter I also toped it off the new Metallic Enamel Effects Basics Lacquer to create some faux stars.  I used watercolor paper and painters to create the norther lights and colored the ocean with blends.  Blog Hop Index

  Todays thank you card is featuring the Grassy Grove set in a beautiful sunset scene.   For this card I used our watercolor paper and smudged ink colours on a block and then used the stampin spritzers with water to let the colours blend together. Peeling it off the block and letting it dry I then stamped in memento ink, I then heat embossed our sentiment on black card stock die cut out with stylish shapes dies. Then I added it to the layers of white and black.  You can vote for my card and see what others have made here
