Hello and welcome. Today at Alphabet Challenges we begin a new challenge chosen by Tee - which is    M is for Mythical Creatures.  To see the wonderful creations to inspire you please visit the blog. 

I began with a white 6" white card. I used a piece of green card from my stash for the first backgound, then a smaller piece of cream for the second background mat. I took these colours from the main images' colours. The main image consists of several sheets from a Hunkydory square Little Book of Fairy Decadence. I have decoupaged all parts of the fairy, the wings and the flowers at the front of the design. Finally I added two sets of green gems to opposite corners. Hope you enjoy the challenge, there are so many Mythical Creatures you can choose from. Take care.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new two-weekly challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Helen has chosen #260 Purple and Green,we look forward to your creations using these two colours. To see the creative inspiration by the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white curved card. I stamped the 'Bewitched' stamp by Pink Ink Designs, then blended two shades of Distress inks - yellow around the edges of the stamp, using a yellow Zig brush pen close to the stamps edges. I then used wo purple shades of DI's around the edges of the card. I used Promarkers and a few more Zig brush pens to complete the colouring. I stamped sprigs randomley and added with a glue pen sparkling white glitter to the tips of the twigs. Finally I used a glitter brush pen to the hat and parts of the green dress. The sentiment is on the stamp set and the gretting is from my stash. Have fun.

Autumnal Festival/Autumnal Fall

Hi, welcomee to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. Dawn has chosen a theme which suits us all at this time of the year, #261 Autumn Festival/Autumn Fall. To see the remainder of the team's inspiration, please visit the blog. 

I made a small card, approx. 4.5in.sq. The stamps I used are by Dare 2B Artzy -Tangle Leaves. I began by using black ink to stamp directly onto the white card, which was to be the base for the leaves. I then stamped the leaves and acorns, with black ink, Versafine Black, onto a prepared sheet of blended Distress inks created using autumnal colours. Additional colouring added with Promarkers.  I then fussy cut around the leaves ignoring the stems etc.  I patted all stamped areas with Versafine and clear embossing poweder, to heat emboss. The leaves were added with foam pads over the original stamped leeaves on the card. Finally the sentiment was added. Happy Autumnal wishes to you all.
