Fantasy Fairy Card

Hello friends and visitors,

Has anyone else noticed the amount of Blog challenges that are closing, it's rather sad, but can totally understand the amount of work that goes into running one! Let's hope new one's pop up.

Anyway, I'm sharing a card that I made a few weeks ago using Arteza watercolour pens and here it is...

I used Arteza watercolour pens and smooshed them onto watercolour card, once dried I added the stamps and sentiment and added it onto a die cut shape, I also used glitter on the fairy wings (sadly this is not very clear!). Another card I really enjoyed making.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I'll see you all soon.

Surfin Santa - Dr Digi for Through the Craft Room Door Design Team

Hello friends and visitors

Today I am sharing my card for Through the Craft Room Door challenge and this week are sponsored by the amazing Dr Digi, where you can win two of his designs, there are so many to choose from. I had trouble choosing an image! So I look forward to seeing all your creations for this Anything Goes challenge.


So here is my card...


I used the following Surfin Santa digi image which you can find here, the papers 'surfs up' were also Dr Digi and you can find them here. I coloured the image with my Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card, the sentiment is a really old Pink Gem stamp and I embossed it with white embossing powder. Everything else from my stash.

I hope to see you all join in with the challenge and see you all soon.

Henry - Mushroom Bear a Crafty Sentiment Design

Hello friends and visitors

So I'm sitting at my desk and it's pitch black at 4.30pm, I so hate these dark autumn nights, crafting is even more difficult! Anyway so before it got too late I made a card for several challenges and here it is...


I was lucky to win the Cutie Pie challenge recently and the prize was 3 Digi images from Crafty Sentiment Designs and this was one of the ones I chose. How cute is Henry sitting on a mushroom? I really enjoyed colouring him up and putting the card together. So to make this card I used the following:

Henry - Mushroom Bear which you can find here
Coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card
The papers are from a very old pad by Basic Grey called Olivia
The flowers are Hunkydory Fabulous Flowers.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and see you all soon.

Fairy House

 Hello friends and visitors

A big thank you for all the kind comments on my last card, they were lovely to read. It's my SIL 50th birthday next week and we're all going out tonight to celebrate - so I'm looking forward to a lovely meal out at Miller and Carter.

I've something different to share with you all today. I've had this blank fairy house from The Works for a good few years and decided to decorate it. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out and now to do the other three I have! Anyway here it is...


So to make this which was a wooden colour, I removed the door and metal bits and painted the door and plinth with white acrylic paint. I cut round some paper from Lili of the Valley which I've had for years. The fairies welcome sign, mushroom, pink bow and the cute little fairy came from a website and I wish I could remember where, as I want to buy more,all the other embellishments came from my stash. Once I put it all together, I placed white felt on the bottom of the plinth and the back of the frame and door to finish it off. Now to do the others for Christmas presents for the four 3 year olds that I buy for.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, have a great weekend and I'll see you all soon.

Whimsy Dreams Clipart - Wildflowers

Hello friends and visitors

I had a lovely few days dog sitting Dora the Dachshund, who is completely mad! I haven't done any cardmaking since I've been home, I've taken up another crafty hobby - I'm into cross stitching, I'm finding it very therapeutic, I've started off doing a few easy things and managed to find a few freebie patterns. I'm going to turn some of them into cards, so watch this space.

Anyhow, I have a card to share that I made a few weeks ago and here it is...


To make this card I used a 7x7 card blank, Whimsy Dream Clipart image called Wildflowers which you can find here, coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic Card, the sentiment is a stamp from Inkylicious which you can find here, sorry not sure where the papers are from and embellishments and ribbon from stash.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and any comments left are lovely to read, have a great week and see you soon.
