Little flower Fairies...

 

Good evening folks ...I'm off to watch Britain's Got Talent but first a wee card.  I have used one of brand new stamps that the lovely Elaine sent to me for my birthday, I just love it, it's so adorable!!

So the papers are Fancy Pants Park Bench, I have layered the papers onto bazzill card and then distressed each of the layers, the stamp is Flower Fairies from Whimsy Stamps which I coloured with copics, I added some stickles to the wings and some tiny pearls around the fairies although it's hard to see them but they are there IRL!! I also used a piece of cheesecloth...thought I would give that a go as so many of you use it and looks amazing so I just did a small piece to start with. I also added a piece of match lace, I added some wee flowers and one to the centre of the bow which also has a wee charm attached....hope you likey.

California dreamin'...

Good evening bloggers and my late post...I have not long returned refreshed from my run...need to shift that last 1/2lb so I have taken to running...phew!!

My card this evening resembles our lovely weather...not..but wouldn't it be lovely just to have one sunny day. I bought this digi from Saturated Canary, she is called Cali Girl and I coloured her with copics....now I had to pay a little more attention to the skin colouring as I wanted her to have a sunkissed glow however I don't think she had her cream on her face as her cheeks are a bit well fired..I also added glossy accents to her sunnys to give them a bit of a shine. The papers are Fancy Pants - summer soul which are perfect for that summery look card. The flower is cut from my MFT Hibiscus die-namics die...

Sugar Bowl Challenge #84

Good morning sugar fans and my scheduled post....I am still trying to get used to my new Monday to Friday shift. Being off at the weekend is good though as my friend and I had a wee unexpected visit to the House of Sugar last Saturday which was really fab. The scenery on the way up and down was simply breath taking and if I can work out how to get the photos from my phone to the PC then I will let you see the snow covered mountains. We met Karen and her daughters and Erika and Kate, they were all so lovely. Karen even gave us the guided tour of the shop and where Mark , our Funky Kit man does his online orders...I would so love to work there. Now if any of you are in the area and feel the need to pop in to the House of Sugar...omg you will be spoilt for choice, Karen has such a variety of products on sale....

Today's challenge over at The Sugar Bowl is "anything goes" so you can use whichever layout and theme you like but you need to use a Sugar Nellie stamp.

As always the prize for one lucky winner picked at random is 4 Sugar Nellie stamps from Funky Kits....




....but if over 100 entries then the prize increases to 6 stamps.

For my card I have used Butterfly Girl from sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics, the papers from MME - On the Sunny Side, the flowers have been cut with different rolled MFT dies, I also cut a little dinky flouish out too and added a couple of pins behind. I added some ribbon and a charm to finish off...
