Let's See Some Gingham

Over at the Fab 'n' Funky Challenges blogspot, this weeks theme is "Let's See Some Gingham'.  So, as I have quite a bit of gingham paper in my leftover scrap paper box, I thought I would take part in this cute little challenge this week.

The digi image used is from Lili of the Valley, she is called 'Cake Glorious Cake' and can be found here and is found under the heading 'Fairies and Mermaids'.

I coloured her with Copic markers and did the shading with my prismacolour pencils, blended with Sansodor and a blending stump. I then mounted her onto silver glitter card and added the gingham paper directly to the front of the white card base (8" x 8"). I then added some matching coloured paper flowers (which I think I purchased in bulk from eBay - I know I ordered absolutely loads of them for just a few pounds and I still have loads left) and put adhesive gemstones into the centre of each flower.  I added a sentiment, also from Lili of the Valley, (the reason it is at that angle is because just underneath it is a big dollop of glue that tore the paper when I tried to remove it - but I still think it works, hahaha).  I then just added a small amount of glitter to the fairy wings and highlighted the 'bits' in the cake with a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

Hope you like her?

Faerie Fae 2

Well, having discovered that my mother has been sneaky peeking a look at my blog BEFORE her birthday, i decided not to post this card until TODAY (mother!!!).

Having posted the cards from both my dad and my children, I decided to keep with the fairy theme that I used on my dad's card and use this other image, also called Fae (from Tiddly Inks).

Here's what I did:

Promarkers used were: Grass; Lime Green, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Ivory and Blush. I then used some free papers from My Minds Eye (Card Making and Papercraft Magazine), a sentiment from Craftwork Cards, some metal flowers that I bought in a craft shop in Norfolk and some paper Prima flowers. I also added some Lime metallic Sukura Jelly Roll on her shoes and for the stars. Hope you like it???

Thanks for stopping by.

Faerie Heaven

Here is my latest offering.  The background stamp is 'Sketched Butterfly' by Stampendous and was a present from my good friend, Sarn and the fairy is by PSX. This is one I have had forever. Fae means Faerie and so I am a huge collector of faeries and such like and therefore this stamp is a definite keeper. I don't use her very often but when I do I am always happy with whatever I have created and this is no exception.

I stamped the background butterfly onto white cardstock with 'Impress Lavender' raised ink pad and then stamped the faerie with black Stayzon and added a little blue pencil to her wings and a few of the butterflies in her hair and then added some glitter. I then stamped the greeting from Hero Arts, which I cut out leaving a small border and mounted onto black card which also had a little border when cut. I then added the ribbon and the pearls and some more glitter to the background butterflies. Et voila! Faerie heaven. My work here is done!

I made this card for my sister-in-law, Dianne, who is celebrating her birthday tomorrow. Happy Birthday Di, have a great day!

I love this card and was very, very happy with it when I had finished it. Anyone who knows me, knows I am mad about fairies (or faeries as they are also known). So when I received this image from Linda, I was very excited and couldn't wait to start using it. This was what I came up with. I love it.
