Hi there! I hope you are having a great week so far! Today I have a couple of VERY different projects to share. First one up is a page in my art journal. I'm trying to paint more often hoping to learn different techniques and brush strokes along the way so I can tackle those big canvas's for my home.

Next up is a rather clean and simple Halloween card featuring a variety of PTI and MFT products:

For color inspiration for both, I joined along with the ColourQ colour challenge:

and for the card sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge, flipping the sketch 90 degrees counter clockwise:
