I have several favorite designers but for this post, I am sharing from Brittercup Designs, specifically the Britty Kitty Monthly Series. I love these monthly designs, as they are very simple to follow and can be completed in a weekend. Completing the entire series ensures a pretty piece to adorn your walls year-round! These kitties are also always marked with a pink heart on their bottom. So cute! For the month of July, I stitched the "Hide -n- Seek" kitty with watermelon pieces.

Magic Autumn Coloring Page and Black Widow Pencils Review

Today, I am taking a little break from reading to complete a coloring page I have been working on for a while. I used Black Widow colored pencils for all base color, shadows and highlights. These premium wax-colored pencils come in 7 sets including Black Widow, Scorpion, Cobra, Dragon, Monarch, Light Tones and Dark Tones. These vivid colors lay down and blend easily. I love using these pencils for skin tones, as there are many combinations that can be created for all skin tones. They also offer a palette perfect for fantasy pages! This page is from the Magic Autumn Halloween Grayscale coloring book with artworks by Alena Lazareva and the book has two sets of illustrations, so you can color with a friend or create two completely different styles of your own!
