Back on my usual form this month and dashing around on the last day to get this cute little raccoon all coloured up and on a card in time to submit it to Gerda Steiner’s progressive challenge for October.

Creepy tree panel
This wasn’t going to be a Halloween piece. This was originally going to be an autumnal scene. My starting point for this was a challenge to use half a bag of multicoloured sequins from the September Craft Box subscription. They’re not on here. They’ve been hand sewn onto a foam heart on a completely different project that I had to come up with when I realised the brightly coloured sequins weren’t going to end up anywhere near this panel.
Bricks and butterfly
I picked up a set of the Tim Holtz mixed media dies out of curiosity more than anything else. Rather than giving you a positive shape to work with, these dies are designed to leave you with the negative, empty space on a panel, and I wondered what I could do with that.
In bloom
I was in the mood for two things: using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers — hereafter known as ziggies for the sake of brevity — and doing a bit of heat embossing. After a couple of busy days creating the mouse at the lake card, I had thought that I would keep that day’s colouring for the Daily Marker challenge simple; that plan didn’t last long.
Monster and teddy
The last of my catch-up blog posts! Assuming that I haven’t made more cards than I’ve blogged between scheduling this post and it being published, I am completely caught up.
Ahem. This is the last of my catchup blog posts that I had intended completing before I started the 30-day colouring challenge in September. I had been keeping this card for when I was completely caught up as my expression would match his if I ever actually managed to do that 🙂 But if I wait until there are no more cards that need to be blogged then I will never ever post this.
Glitter hexagons with love
This is the last of the cards I made for the Sparkle & Shine class. There are still a few techniques that I will get round to trying at some point, but I was just about glittered out by the time I got to this one 🙂

Glossy flowers
I don’t like to waste anything, so I needed to find a use for my patchy glitter kiss test piece. I had a search through my box of finished coloured pieces, looking for something that would go well with the shiny purple.
