Fairy Wishes

It's challenge time, at Hobbycutz and we have a fun one for you, today! This round, our challenge is all about Fairies! Get your fairy on and show us what you got! We'd love to see your Fairy creation! Remember, our challenges last for two weeks, so that gives you plenty of time to play along and maybe even win a prize!

My card uses the image Pip, from A and  T Digital Stamps. All papers are from my stash. I used blue gemstones to embellish all the layers. The branch and butterfly are woodcuts from Hobbycutz. I painted them with Twinkling H20's. The butterfly is two different butterflies, double stacked. I used a solid cut butterfly, covered with patterned paper and fussy cut, then stacked another, fancier butterly, on top and added gemstones to the center.

For my card, I chose an image from Lauretta's Digital Stamps. I love this fairy. She looks like she is blowing kisses. I went with a blue color theme this time, with a sprinkle of other colors, here and there. I used the sketch at 2 sisters. The cardstock and DP are scraps from my stash. I colored the image with Promarkers. The DP and the ribbon are all from my stash. My flowers were made by punching blue cardstock with the 5 petal flower punch from Stampin up, then I folded the flowers in half and added foam mounting tape under the fold, to make them stand out, before attaching them to my card. I used a white opaque pen by Inksentials to add the lines and centers to the flowers. (I know I know.. I could have done a better job. The lighting wasn't very bright and i miseed some spots, not to mention got a little crooked. I wasn't drinking, I swear! LOL

Fairies From The Dark Side and Challenge #6

It's time for a new challenge over at Stamping With The Dragon. This time, it's all about distressing. Hope on over to the challenge here, for challenge #6, and play along. You could win three digi's of your choice from our sponsor for this round... Lil Diva Stamps. She has some awesome images! You definitely don't want to miss out on your chance to win! While you're there, check out the wonderful photos of inspiration from the rest of our awesome Design Team!

This was my first attempt at distressing.... And Ive decided that I'm not very good at it! LOL I guess it's not bad for a first attempt, and hopefully I'll get better as I go along.


For the background, I used black Coordinations paper and then embossed it with the spots and dots cuttlebug folder, then distressed it with sandpaper so the pink core would show through. I also embossed another piece of the Coordinations with a flower pattered cuttlebug folder, and distressed that, as well. I bought the DP specifically for this card, but then once I started putting the card together, I wasn't sure I liked the paper LOL. I used a pink bow with pearl center as an embellishment.

The image is colored with Promarkers
