A couple of creations ...


I am having a day in my craft room playing, and trying to get ahead with some DT work.

But here are a couple of makes from last night and this morning ...

I do love Krista's Saturated Canary images, though the hair always challenges me!!  This one is coloured in using my promarkers, and as I printed the digi quite big, I have gone for a simple layout with it.  The dp is MME On the Bright Side, and i added ribbon, paper flowers, pearls and pins from my stash.  The sentiment is a Craftwork cards one.

Challenges:
Cupboard Trilogy - bingo (bright colours, ribbon, flowers)
Saturated Canary - dots
Just Us Girls - sketch
Sweet Stampin - inspired by a song (lets go fly a kite)
ABC - W is for Wishes
Moving along with the times - flying high
Passion for Promarkers - needles and pins
Everybody-Art-challenge - anything goes


And now for something completely different!
I used this cute fairy from Lili of the Valley and coloured her using my promarkers, keeping the colours muted for the vintage look.  The dp is Prima Nature garden, and I matted it onto a large tag, cutting and slotting it together to cover the tag.  I distressed the edges of the tag with my TH distressing tool and then inked the edges with vintage photo and walnut stain inks.  I added some lac, the flowers and pearl spray, and a pearl swirl, before stickling the fairy's wings with frosted lace stickles and adding crackle glossy accents to the mirror to make it look old.

And here's a closer look at the mirror and wings ...

Challenges:
 Lili's little fairies - anything but square
Allsorts - anything but square
Simply Create - vintage
Stampin for the weekend - pearls and swirls
Dutch Dare - floral fantasy
I love Promarkers - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
Bearly Mine - anything that glitters
