Back to School Fox - Through the Craftroom Door, watercolor pencil, Distress Oxide, Distress paint splatter
The leaves are starting to turn colours and fall from the trees signalling the yellow school buses to return to the streets to pick up their charges. It's time for back to school.
My card today is my inspiration project for the Through the Craftroom Door blog challenge. Each week we have an Anything Goes challenge. This week's sponsor is M Medel Illustrations and the randomly drawn winner of the challenge will win 3 digital images from their shop.
Hi there! I've doodled since I can remember (on table cloths, street guides, text books, walls and finally, for my parent's relief, sketchbooks). What I love the most is to create adorable characters for both adults and children and bring them to life. That's why I became an animator and illustrator.
I decided to create a shop to free all the characters that were trapped in my sketchbooks, unfinished. So I took them, refurbished and sparkling, and share them to the world. They are ready to be adopted and willing to be part of your crafts.
All my illustratons are 100 % handmade by me, scanned from my sketchbooks and finished in Photoshop with my beloved Wacom Cintiq.
I hope you like what you see and come back soon.

My card features the Back to School Fox in a scene with a school bus from Simple Stories, a tree from Impression Obsession, a greeting from Hero Arts, and an inside sentiment from Unity Stamps. The fox is coloured with Prima Marketing watercolour pencils, and the background is Distress Oxides with Distress Paint splatters.
Technique: backgrounds with 3D embossing with Nuvo Mousse, Cosmic Shimmer, and Glitter Kiss, part 1
I love making backgrounds and will sometimes just spend some time 'playing' with various products to make backgrounds for unknown projects of the future. These 4 all use 3-D embossing folders and metallic pastes/creams to embellish them.

Score! - watercolor pencil
Celebrating the fan who is celebrating his favourite team, my card features an image from Bloobel (sadly the shop is now closed) coloured from Prima watercolour pencils.
This week I am the guest designer for Outlawz Challenges: Sunday Songs and Rhymes. The theme for this week is The Boys Of Fall.
When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass
I'm back in my helmet, cleats, and shoulder pads
Standing in the huddle, listening to the call
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall
Wonder - Sheepski Designs, watercolour pencil, 3D embossing
My project today is an inspiration for the September challenge on the Sheepski Designs challenge blog: For the Kidz.
I created a card using Bubble Dreams which I coloured with Prima Marketing watercolour pencils and backed with a panel embossed with a Crafter's Companion 3D embossing folder and embellished with Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Kiss and Nuvo Embellishment Mousse. Inside is stamped with a sentiment from Tim Holtz.
