This was colored using Copic Markers and the other materials including dies and paper are from Crafter's Companion.

Little Goblins!

I have kind of a theme going with cute Halloween lately.  What better way to practice using my Copics than coloring up some Sweet November stamps.  This is a combination of a few single stamps mixed together to create my spooky scene. 

The background is paper from Crafter's Companion, Enchanted Christmas paper pad.  I liked that it created a bit of a spooky background with no effort.  Someday I will branch into coloring backgrounds but until then I have PLENTY of paper to use.

Witchee Sybil and Poe

I had a great time coloring up Witchee Sybil and her pal Poe from Sweet November Stamps !  If you haven't shopped there yet you need to go check it out.  I adore their illustrations and the design team is sooo talented!  Their September release is amazing!

This was colored with Copic Markers which for the past 4 1/2 years have been in storage.  It was fantastic to get them out again and refilled (with plenty of spillage) and start playing with them again.  I hope to improve my coloring by doing a lot of practice so prepare yourself to see plenty of coloring here.
