Fifi's Get Well Message

This wee cutie is one of the images I won in a recent Digistamp Boutique Challenge and this is the first time she has been out to play! I coloured her with Promarkers and layered her into gold mirriboard embossed using my Ultimate Pro; following Sketch Saturday's current sketch I used backing paper which was a magazine freebie some time ago and added coral card (one of which is embossed with Get Well sentment in Copper), brown linen card which I shaped using my Pro and then added ribbon and a bow. I am entering this into the following challenges:~

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge

Over at Crafty Cardmakers this week, we are looking for you to Step Away From The Square - simples - create anything other than a square card. Do go along and see my fellow DT fabulous work - they are a very talented bunch of girls who I am very proud to be associated with.





My creation this week is using the fabulous 'Inspire' image from Jenni. I folded the front of a DL card in half, matted and layered the beautiful image (after I had altered the colour using My Craft Studio), inked the edges with Black Archival ink from Whispers, added a lovely charm and sentiment, and stuck on some blingy thingys! I am a bit disappointed with my creation this week as I have had a stinker of a cold and wanted to do Jenni's digi image more justice than I have. Sorry Jenni!


I am entering this into Polka Doodles Fancy Folding Challenge - haven't the energy to find any others it will fit!!



Do go along to see Jenni's fabulous digi images!

Freebie Fairy

Well folks, I am still full of the cold, my head is thumping so hard and my ears are throbbing so yes I still have the cold. I haven't been outside the door today - isn't that disgusting? Still find time but not much energy to craft though.

This fairy was a freebie in a magazine last month and I have coloured her in Promarkers of various colours, and using Sketch Saturday's current sketch, matted and layered onto various colours of card from stash, added some ribbon (like how I knotted it in between each slit?), CG Sentiment using Carolinga font, added some rather dull blingy thingys and a photo corner in bottom left.
See how dull these cheap blingy thingys are in the above pic? Will not be buying them again from that cheap shop!!

Ingredients:~
All from stash.

Sorry not sure I am well enough to sit here and blog today, but you never know I may feel better later tonight. Apologies if I don't visit you....
Nearly forgot to say this is going into 3 challenges:~
Really appreciate your comments folks,
Happy Crafting over the weekend!
