Friends & Fairies

Hello - Today is the start of a new challenge at I Love Promarkers and the theme this fortnight is Angels & Fairies. The sponsor offering the prize digis is Bugaboo  and I have used an image called Kidz fairy sitter.
I reverted to type this week and went bold and bright with a bit of quirky edge with a circular base card.

 I covered the base card with Doodlebug papers called Colorwheel and cut the greetings panel from the same collection. I mounted this onto black card and used a corner punch to round the edges. I added some co-ordinating flowers from my stash and attached black gems into the middle of them. I covered the wings in clear Wink of Stella and attached a little black Onxy liquid pearls into the middle of the flower on the greeting.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image-
Skin - Usual
Hair - Buttercup, Summer Sun & Gold
Tights - Bright orange & Mandarin, Wild Orchid & Red Violet.
Top - Pink Lobster & Vermillion
Wings - Pastel Green & Frosted Jade
Skirt - Lime Zest, Lime Green, Grass & Emerald.

I hope you like her and I would love to see all your entries into the challenge for a chance to win these ace digis!
Take care,

Away with the Fairies.

Morning -
Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme is "Away with the Fairies". I have used this fab image called Pure Innocence and tried to keep it muted tones rather than my usual style of all out bright but it was so difficult!!

The patterned papers I have used are from My Minds Eye Cut & Paste pad and I used some navy Bazzill to mount the image and also to die cut some scalloped edges using a My Favourite Things die. I also used a double stitched die to cut the image out in the oval shape.
I used a greeting panel from Craftworks Card and used a matching promarker to colour the greeting before also mounting this on to the Navy. I added a Petaloo Sweet Petites flower to a small hand cut flag in the top corner that I attached with 3d foam to give some depth. 
I have put a side view in to show the Wink Of Stella clear pen that I have used over the Fairy Wings and also on the butterflies. This angle makes it shimmer a little more.

I u. sed these promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Usual
Hair - Blue Grey 1,2 & 4, powder blue & cloud blue.
Dress, wings & butterflies - Fresh Bloom, Pastel Pink & Heatwave

The challenge at The Paper Shelter is on now and just look at the prizes available...

Luxurious Fairy from The Paper Shelter.

Morning - There is a new challenge starting today over at The Paper Shelter and the theme is a real favourite that you all love... Fairies! And there are some fabulous fairy images to pick from like this one I've used called Exotic Enchantment. 

I was  asked to make this card for a friend at work to give his wife for there Wedding anniversary - which when we looked was celebrated with wood - hence the little wooden hearts from Studio Calico that I have used. I also die cut the letters from Balsa Wood - This took a few goes through my sizzix with letters from Die-namics to cut right though but it worked pretty well. 

The background paper is from My Minds Eye On Trend 2 collection and is a lovely navy colour with gold foil. I used a corner rounder punch on the base layer. I used the greeting from the same collections 6x6 pad and mounted this on pink satin to make it stand out. I also used this to make the little flag in the top corner. 

I used some Diamond stickles on the wings of the fairy and a little Gold pen on the hair clip. Finally I added a few gems and dots of stickles to look like she was sprinkling fairy dust.

I used these Promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.

Hair - Buttercup, Pineapple Crush, Sleigh Bells & Raw Sienna.

Dress & Bow - Pink Mittens, Pink Carnation, Cerise, Magenta & Hot Pink.
