"Witch Dolly" by LCDesigner Leigh

It's my turn to share again and today's post is jam packed with photos so sit a spell......

I've got two main projects featuring our 2 new teenie kitties that I've used in a rather unexpected way plus a bonus project just for some extra fun ;0) 

 "Day of the Dead stylized Marigold #1"

 3D paper art project featuring the following stamps:

Carmen's Veranda: Teenie Tabby Cat and Teenie White Cat

 Lost Coast Designs:  ATC Doodles Circles from the ATC Doodles set, a tiny DOTD Sugar Skull from our Six Mini Skull set and the stem and leaves are a partial of our Long Stemmed Rose Bud.  The entire project was watercoloured with Nuance pigment powders.

 

Here's a close look at the 3D fussy cut "kitty" petals and leaves.

 

"Day of the Dead stylized Marigold #2" 

Also features:

 Lost Coast Designs:  ATC Doodles Circles from the ATC Doodles set, a different tiny DOTD Sugar Skull from our Six Mini Skull set, the Long Stemmed Rose Bud stem and leaves.  All watercoloured with the Nuance pigment powders.

  and before I finish off with my fun little bonus project here's what's heading your way for November!  

November event - Day of the Dead

We are rolling straight from Halloween into our Day of the Dead event which starts on Oct 31st!  We will have a daily share for the traditional 3 days of Dia de Muertos, Oct 31 - Nov 2, plus "reminder posts" during November so be sure to stick around after Halloween coz the party does not end here at LCPtoC ;0)
