More fairy dust.

Thought I'd show you the other fairy dust card I made over the weekend. It was lovely making these. If you'd like to see the blue one, scroll down to yesterday's post.

Again, a lot of Distress Inks for the background, mostly blended, but you can see a few brush strokes around the gateway and steps where I added some depth with a water brush. The gateway and moon are masked off.

I'm particularly loving the white swirls- my beloved Baroque Motifs set from Stampin' Up and Brilliance Moonlight white. Plus, when do I ever make a card without adding some white pen to it to make things pop?

I took these into work and sold the blue one straight away, yippee. 

Fairy dust and magic

I had different crafty plans this weekend, but after seeing a post by a mate on Facebook, I was kinda inspired to get my Lavinia stamps out......

The background is Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks. That Salty ocean is fast becoming a favourite. The images are all in Versafine- onyx black and deep lagoon. I got the glamour dust out to give the sparkle, but oh my word it went EVERYwhere......

Oh these stamps give such a crisp image, they're wonderful.

I'm entering into Daring Cardmakers challenge- ink it up.

Flowers, flowers, flowers......

Aw cute bunnies. Another card makde from an image I'd stamped and coloured an age ago.

Lots of punched flowers- one of my favourite things to do.

I'm entering this into the following challenge:

The cupboard trilogy- Spring flowers

WOYWW......the aftermath.

Hello, happy Wednesday! Still feels like Tuesday to me, lovely Bank Holiday Monday, but it's put me off for the whole week!!!

Here we go on WOYWW for this week, and my desk is showing the aftermath of a busy crafting weekend.

Sparkly points for spotting....

• My beloved Versafine black ink pad, very well used
• My stripey bunny lunch bag
• A wedding card waiting for an envelope to be made
• The corner of my black spiral punch, one of my punch best buys

Right, give us a look at your desk, and pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground to see a few more.

Pretty fairy frog

I've been making cards. Lots of cards. 

I'd got a box of coloured in images- loads of them, so I spent the bank holiday weekend matching papers and cards, adding ribbon and bling and making up cards.

This one is a Sweet Pea stamp- love the odd eyes on the frog.....

The sentiment is Lili of the Valley, and kinda fits well. It's all stamped in brown for a softer edge, and coloured in Promarkers.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Try it on Tuesday- Feminine and fancy

Papertake- Anything goes (optional extra to use 2 stamps)

Cupcake inspirations challenge- fairies

Passion for Promarkers- Birthdays

Happy birthday Jack!

My gorgeous nephew is 4 today, can't believe it! I made this pirate card for him, using some leftover digi papers from my A Little Bit Crafty DT project for this month. the map fit perfectly.

The Lili of the valley image and postmark work well together.

Another bargain, these letters are fab, aren't they? 

Happy birthday little man, love you 10 bags of sugar x

To washi or not to washi?

I think I might finally get washi tape. I'm not about to remortgage the house to buy a zillion rolls, or repaper the bathroom in it, but I think I quite like the couple of rolls I have got.

Of course, it helps that I've used it with the very handsome Hunk......

You might recognise this lay out from a card I blogged a day or so ago- It was one of those....I like that, I'm going to do it again moments!

What a hunk.

I'm going to enter this into the Crafting Musketeers challenge- Anything goes!
