August 11th Steampunk Serengeti Blog Hop with Leigh!

 So you ever run across an image or images that you had totally forgotten about?  We all know I do ...all the time....over and over again!  I loved this little Steampunk Octopus Freddie "Legs" Wise-Key #250 by Oddball Art and the Grunge Lace #342!  Every time I browse at Oddball Art I am drawn to this octopus!  Imagine my surprise when I found him on my Ipad today! :)

I played with this in Procreate while a storm was brewing up outside.  So far lots of thunder and no rain but we had, and I estimate, 40 days of rain every day from mid June till August.  It was wonderful for my tomato and pepper plants but the humidity was overwhelming.  Then the possum ate my tomato plants but that is another story for another day!  Freddie er I mean Legs is going to visit the Steampunk Serengeti Blog Hop presented by LeighSBDesigns!  All the deets and the linky party are HERE!  So come on and play a bit with us!

Time for a Special New Blog Hop with LeighSBDesigns!

 What a trifecta of blog hop goodness!  The Cherry Blossom Mer-Ween Hop by our favorite designer, Leigh!  My offering tonight was created in Procreate on my iPad and can I say what a wonderful program Procreate is for a very reasonable price!  I love it lots!  I do still prefer to create something I can hold in my gluey hands at the end of the day but there are times when health issues prevent me from sitting at the craft table.  Knowing I am not the only one with this issue, I am quiet happy to show some creations made digitally with Leigh's gorgeous New Releases, too!

I bought the Cherry Blossom Digi Stamp Collection Bundle which comes with 2 fantastic little geisha dolls with sentiments, cherry blossom branch (which I used on the project above) and three cherry blossom frames PLUS a free Japanese clouds digital stamp (also used above!)! 😻  I used one of the sentiments from Parasol Geisha Doll and these were all included in the collection!  I colored and layered each layer, trying to get some shadows behind the cherry blossom branch and the sentiment.  I added rain with the gorgeous cherry blossoms falling as a final touch!

That is my day one entry to the slendifirous blog hop!  All the links to the details and linky party are below!  Come join the fun! 

P.S.  There is also a a Cherry Blossom SVG Mega Bundle out with the New Releases!  This includes all the above items PLUS gorgeous Print and Cutz sets that are amazing!  Next on my wish list for sure!  All of these are also available in individual sets, too, so have a look around in the shop!
