Don't feed the trolls...


Hello, hello!

With Halloween quickly creeping up on us the Sweet November Stamps digital releases are starting to get a little spooky. Today's release is called, Don't Feed the Trolls and it includes three hairy little trolls; Crowslyboo, Vontricksley and Skimbleprank as well as a bridge background builder set. Not only do they work great for not-so-scary Halloween cards but they are also super cute in any fantastical scene. 

Like my first card here, rather than go with a Halloween scene I thought Crowslyboo would look great under the tree from the new Troll Bridge builder set as it begins to wear its fall colors. With his little satchel in tow I colored in a winding path beside him as he looks to be at the beginning of a great adventure. I gotta say, I've missed the fall color palettes and it made me so happy to return to these comforting hues with this early autumn card. 


For my second card I put Vontricksley down by the bridge and added the Troll Bridge sign into the scene as well. I knew this card was going to be more Halloween themed so I chose a much darker color palette with lots of dark blues and purple.

Now be sure to go check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Troll inspiration from Caitlin, Melissa, Tee and our fantastic guest designer, Amy Gould! I will also be coloring Live later this morning at 11am PST on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see you there!
