Fairy Dust

Good morning to you all,

It's my turn to post over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society today and I have a fantasy card to show you using the gorgeous 'Fairy Dust' image by Morgan Fitzsimons, which can be found in their on-line shop HERE.

I made a 6x6" card using background papers from Raspberry Road.  I have coloured the image with Promarkers, picking out two colours from the background papers. I decided to give her purple hair to create more of a fantasy theme for the card and have added one of my new die-cut pieces behind the image, together with a piece of polkadot organza ribbon and a couple of die-cut butterflies. Hope you like it!

I would love to enter this into the challenge over at Scrapbook Stamp Society.

Peaches and Cream

Hello there crafty friends,

First, can I say a big welcome to my new followers - I hope you enjoying visiting from time to time.

I have a birthday card to show you this evening, which I made for a work colleague and also for the challenge over at 'Lili's Little Fairies' - which is 'Peaches and Cream', hence the title of my post. Here's what I made ...

This one is a 6x6" cream linen card blank which I covered with gorgeous peach paper from Raspberry Road - I am in love with these papers at the moment and if you haven't found them yet, check them out HERE. I added a second mat which is also mounted on cream cardstock and decorated with a 'Fleur de Lys' die-cut border.  The cute little image is 'LOTV - Blossom' and is coloured with my Promarkers and mounted onto a peach scalloped circle.  The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is also LOTV. Added embellishments include a piece of vintage lace, three die-cut flowers from scraps of matching paper, a little die-cut butterfly with added pearls, a couple of pearl hearts and some adhesive gems.

I would also like to enter this in the following challenges:

From Fizzy With Love

A big hello to you all out there,

Here's my fifth consecutive post this week - can you tell it's half term and I'm not at work!  A huge thanx to those of you who keep popping by regularly to leave me a comment - I love reading them all and have enjoyed visiting your blogs in return.

I have a sweet little Fizzy Moon card today, using some new stamps which are slightly smaller than my usual ones, but oh so cute. This one was made especially to enter the 'Wild Orchid Crafts challenge' which is 'Pink and Cream' - one of my favourite colour combinations.  Here's what I made ...

I made a 6x6" card blank from textured cream cardstock and covered it with a selection of gorgeous pink papers from Raspberry Road.  The main image is 'Fizzy Moon - With Love' - isn't he just so cute with his little string of hearts.  I coloured him with my Promarkers and mounted him on a Lacey Circle as a focal point.  The flowers are mostly WOC, along with the pearl stamens, pearl hat pin and the metal corner.  I added some die-cut leaves, a blossom sprig and a touch of glitter to enhance the flowers.  Embellishments include some raspberry organza ribbon, a couple of pearl pink buttons and some little pearl hearts.  Hope you like it.

I would also like to enter this into challenges at:

Emergency Crafters - Romance

Make My Monday - Ribbons and Buttons

Sugar Creek Hollow - Using Metal

Hope you have a fab Thursday everyone and I will be back tomorrow with my DT card for Polkadoodles :)
