It’s always a good day to read, but there’s something extra special about cozying up with a good book on a crisp Fall day!
✏️ I originally drew this artwork as a coloring book page for my newest book with @better_day_books.
📘I’m currently reading “Alchemy of Secrets” by Stephanie Garber. I loved her “Caraval” series, and her “Once Upon a Broken Heart” series is on my TBR.
✍🏻 All shading was done with my Illusion dual shader Procreate Brush. It adds shading and texture simultaneously and is one of 13 brushes from my Charmed Brush Kit. It will be FREE during @procreatefreecreate week. It’s an upcoming Procreate freebie event, so head over there to join the waitlist. It starts on October 28!
🧡 You can grab this Cozy Autumn Procreate Color Palette for free on my blog. I just published the post this morning!

This was seriously the most fun I’ve had lettering in ages! 🖤
This piece was inspired by a classic line from the ‘90s cult fave The Craft (witchy vibes, anyone?) and sweet Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
In the process video, you’ll see me mixing and matching a bunch of different lettering styles. It’s kind of like solving a puzzle without the picture on the box! ✨
Some of the letter styles are ones from past artwork, while others come from the alphabets I’ve designed for my physical books and instant download lettering style workbooks in my shop.

Say hello to Playful Embellishments for Procreate, a charming collection of 80 hand-drawn stamp and stencil brushes designed to make your digital artwork shine.
Perfect for adding whimsical accents, decorative details, and unique flair, this set is a must-have for anyone who loves creating beautifully detailed hand-lettering and illustrations.
Whether you’re crafting eye-catching borders, intricate backgrounds, playful patterns, inline lettering details, or flourished calligraphy, these versatile brushes make it effortless to elevate your designs with a touch of personality and fun
P.S. Enchanted Botanicals has been one of my most popular brush sets, and after receiving so many requests for something similar, I created Playful Embellishments & Flourishes. They’re designed to be used and customized in the same way and pair beautifully together. To customize the stamps in Playful Embellishments, use them as stencils and change the flower, leaf, or terminal details—many of the Enchanted Botanicals stamps work perfectly for this, making it easy to mix and match!
Five weeks from today, my third book with @better_day_books and @SchifferPublishing, The Bibliophile’s Coloring & Lettering Book, hits stores! 🤗
This Little Library artwork is one of the coloring page designs I drew for the book. I added the titles of a few of my favorite reads from this year to the book spines. 🩷📚 Have you read any of them?
P.S. The color palette just happens to match the stunning floral wall mural by @emilytheresebaker at @thecoffeegirlcafe, where I met my mom for lunch today, so scroll to the end to see it. 😍
