A Little Midnight Fairy for Allsorts

Hi I'm back again....I had a nice messy afternoon in the craft room today....thought I'd have a go at some tags....

 
 
 
I punched 2" rounds of white card....applied some Victorian Velvet and Chipped Sapphire distress inks...added a scrolly stamp with Pumice Stone and a sweet little fairy stamp in Black Soot.  I then sprayed the tag with Cosmic Shimmer Mist - Angel Mist..masked the moon and added a bit more Chipped Sapphire...then added a little embossing in gold to the flower... some teeny gems..and navy blue satin ribbon.....you cant see it in the pic but they really shimmer.....lovely!!
 
I'm really pleased with them so I'm entering them for this weeks Allsorts Challenge - It's a Gift.
 
I'm off to get inky again!!!
Have Fun!

Dont Faint!!!

Hi Guys...yes I've made a card...not just one but two!!!...lol..I have my niece to thank for the activity in the craft room this morning...two of her friends have baby's due at the end of the month and good old Auntie Jan is the one to ask for that extra special card...well these should stand out from the rest...lol...especially the first one....as we don't know what babies are due the colour was a bit of an issue...but then I found a DP pad by Simple Stories in my stash called Baby Steps and as you can see it isn't your normal kind of colouring..so it did the trick...
the expectant Mum love elephants so this sweet LOTV one fits the bill perfectly....I just hope it's  what my niece had in mind....
and the next one.......

just kept it simple and as I used another LOTV image..I thought I would keep the beige theme with the bear...but tried to keep it light...the DP is just a scrappy bit I found in my stash....I used a new Memory box die for the corner bow..but trimmed it a little to fit.  The expectant Mum for this one is Canadian and my niece ask if I could put a nod to this in the shape of a maple leaf..well not sure the punch I used is a maple leaf but it looks a lot like one...lol....it was a bit of a problem as to where I put it so I have just glue it underneath the image mat so if my niece doesn't like it she can just tug it off without damage to the rest of the card.

Well I don't know about you but I have withdrawal symptoms...lol...there is no Olympics to watch on the TV!!!...lol.....just want to say Well done Team GB....amazing achievements....I loved the rowing and cycling..so exciting...and as for the dancing horses...it made me cry to watch them...lol...I hope that the feel good factor lasts a while...Its about time we felt proud to be British.

Thanks for popping by..your comments are always appreciated..
Have a great week
Hugs

I'm Still Here....

Hi Guys...yes I'm still here...but just been doing other things.  Mr Mojo has been a bit hit and miss again...think its the weather..lol...and having to deal with a major moan with the home where mum is hasnt really improved my productivity..but its all sorted now so I hope to get cardmaking again soon.  All this hasnt stopped my stash buying though...lol...so I have lots of new stuff to work with...but in the meantime I have found a spot of crocheting and needlework quite restful so have come up with some sweet little brooches which I have just put on my Etsy shop this afternoon here....


Hope to be back soon with a card!!!!
have a great weekend
