Fairy Wishes

Good morning crafty friends, I hope you are having a good week so far. Today's card uses some new to me supplies along with the My Monthly Hero December 2018 Kit from Hero Arts.

I started by using the Altenew Sunburst Stencil with some Altenew Crisp Dye Inks, from the Sweet Dreams collection. I applied the inks through the stencil with a soft brush working from lightest at the top to darkest towards the bottom.

The little fairy is from the MMH kit, and was stamped with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with a Silver Glitter embossing powder from Wow, onto white Vellum.

Then I coloured her from the back with Copic Markers. As she was a little too see-through when I put her against the card, I decided to cut her a few more times from white card, and stack these behind, to give her some dimension.

I added her to my background panel with foam tape, and then added a sentiment from the kit. Then to finish off I added lots of dots with a silver pen and some silver sequins, before I put it all on to a teal note card.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

  Good morning folks, hope you have all had a good weekend. We have had a snowy one here in Sheffield but it's all going now, just very cold still. 

Today's card is one I made to send to a crafty friend last month. 

I used the Lavinia stamp set again to stamp the images and then heat embossed them with gold and silver embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the set with Jet Black Archival ink, and then used two different colours of Memento ink for the mushrooms, Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa.

Then I just layered the panel with gold card and put it all on to a 7 x 5 card blank.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Happy Saturday my lovelies.  Hope you've got some crafting time scheduled for this weekend - I know I have ;)

One of the crafting magazines gave away a Lavinia stamp set on the latest issue and I had to try it out.  What do you think?

I stamped the image on hammered card in a very pale pink using momento ink in Tuxedo Black.  Ilove how crisp the image is even on textured card.

I couldn't reseist adding some rock candy distress glitter to the fairy dust and her wings.  It shines really nicely but doesn't show too well  in my pictures.

The sentiment was included and I think it's sweet.

I matted the image onto black card and added it to an 8 x 8 card blank, along with some more Grace Taylor paper.

That's all for me folks.  TTFN Jude xx

Happy Birthday Staci

Good morning all, it's Jen back today. I've had a few days off as I haven't had the chance to get in the craft room, so Jude has very kindly been covering for me. But today I can share the card that I made for my son to send to his girlfriend who's birthday it is today. 

They are currently having a few days break in Barcelona, lucky things, so we won't see them today but we will speak to Staci and wish her a very happy birthday from all of us. 

I started with the stamp on this one which is a freebie from one of my latest crafty mags. Isn't she lovely?

I coloured her with Promarkers and cut her out with Spellbinders Labels 29.

I used papers from the stash, matted with coredinations purple card, together with a round and a heart shaped doily for the layers. 

Then I added two different sized mulberry paper hearts which Staci brought me back from Thailand last year. 

I added a mixture of flowers and a punched butterfly and then some rose ribbon down the left side. 

Then I finished the card with a couple of sentiments, one ready made and the other I did on the PC and cut out with Spellbinders Framed Tags one. 

I hope you like it, see you soon, take care.
