Fairy Among The Flowers

Good Evening

This is my second post for today, whatever next? ;)

I've combined a few different challenges to come up with my card, and here it is:

I followed the sketch over at Totally Gorjuss for my layout.  I used the bingo challenge at TotallyPaperCrafts and I selected Blue, Die-cut and Flowers.  I used an image from Pollycraft and coloured her with spectrum noirs.  I made the flowers out of fabric to tie in with the current challenge at Pollycraft Challenge.

The backing paper for the card is from my stash.  The mat she is sat on is a Spellbinders die cut from Core'dinations card.  The decorative strip across the card is also Core'dination, embossed using a Darice Embossing folder available from Crafters Companion.  The flourish behind the flowers is also a Spellbinders die, cut from white card.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:

ABC Challenge - M is for magical

My Time To Craft Challenge - Fairy Nice

Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge - Use lots of shapes

Cute as a Cupcake

Hello

My card for today uses one of the fabulous images from the Pollycraft, Swings and Slides range of digi stamps.

I printed the image onto Neenah cardstock and coloured her with a combination of Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens.  I die cut the oval with a Nellie Snellen die onto Core'dinations cardstock, as a mat for her to sit on.  The backing paper is from Joanna Sheen's Daisy and friends cd-rom, matted onto the same card.

I took a double edge satin ribbon in pink, and placed a narrow red satin ribbon down the centre.  Two red flower buttons were added to finish my card.

My card is for the following challenges:

Fetch A Sketch Challenge - Sketch

ABC DT Challenge - Red, white and pink

Pollycraft Challenge - Ribbons and buttons

My Time To Craft - Cake

My Mum's Craft Shop  - Buttons and Ribbons

Good Evening

The current Pollycraft Monday Challenge is 'Bingo'.  Here is my card:

I chose to use the line - buttons/Pollycraft image/punches.

I coloured my image using promarkers.  The yellow card is core'dinations.  The backing papers are from my stash, and I used a Martha Stewart punch.  The stars are cut using a Die-namics die and buttons with bakers twine threaded through are added to each star.

I've made this card for my nephews birthday, he loves to dress up so this should fit the bill.

My card is also for the following challenges:

Shopping Our Stash - Across the border

Moving Along With The Times - Things with wings

Cards for Men - Boys and their toys

Stamps R Us Challenge - Cards for kids

The Crafty Pad Challenge - Something for the boys

Rose and Sparkle

Good Evening

I'm back with another calendar today.

I used some of my new Christmas goodies to make this one - the Spellbinders die and the embossing folder.  As soon as I saw this embossing folder on Joanna Sheen's website, I knew this is how I would first use it.  The gems are also from Joanna's shop.  I made the roses using Marianne dies, the leaves are punched using a X-cut punch and some gold embossing powder added to the edges.  The tiny butterflies are made using a EK Success border punch.  I added some beads to a hat pin as an extra embellishment.

My calendar is for the following challenges:

Joanna Sheen forum challenge - Bejewelled.

One Stop Craft Challenge - Bingo - I chose Flowers, Die-cuts/Punches and embossing

Good Afternoon

The current challenge over at House Mouse and Friends Challenge is 'Let's Get Fruity' and this is my card for the challenge.

This card, of course, features a Happy Hopper and the card is made using a decoupage sheet from Joanna Sheen.  The backing paper is printed from the House Mouse inserts cd-rom, again from Joanna Sheen, and a lovely warm yellow linen card is used for all the matting.  Green gems in varying sizes are added to complete the card.

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:
