Dies and or Punches

Hi everyone,
Happy Friday.  Hope your week went well and that you've something fun planned for the weekend.
We are celebrating Victoria Day on Monday which means a 3 day weekend..woo hoo!
There is always a mass exodice out of the city as this typically is the start of cottage season.
Weather promises to be lovely...stay safe on the roads everyone.
And for those of us staying home...there is planting to be done!

Now today starts a new challenge at 
where our lovely Lozzy is the host choosing the theme "Dies or Punches"

I've coloured a newer image from The Paper Shelter, our wonderful
sponsor this week called "Green Apples" available here.


The tree is a Memory Box die, cut once in kraft then again in green.  I removed the leaves
from the green die cut and added them to the kraft image.
In hindsight it would have been a lot faster doing it the other way around..silly me!
Picket Fence is a PoppyStamps.
Apple is a Martha Stewart punch
Image cut using MFT stitched rectangle die
Coloured with Copics

A little bit CAS today...

Hi everyone,
I hope you're having a good week.
This is my favourite time of year. Everything is so green and lush
...just need it to warm up a bit though!

On to today's new challenge at
where our lovely host Julieanne has chosen the theme
"No Designer Paper"
I've coloured with Copics an image from our fabulous sponsor

This fella is called Jeronny Gnome



To create the background, I masked the image and used a toothbrush to sprinkle some dots.
I put a few drops of TH Stream Adirondac alcohol ink on my Tim Holtz craft sheet
 and sprayed white Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to dilute it. 
 Dipped the toothbrush in and using my finger splattered some on the paper.  
I used TH Fired Brick and Glimmer Mist for the red.
