Let's Celebrate - Masked Fairy card (Faery Ink Designs image)

Hi crafty friends,

How lovely is this beautiful image from Faery Ink Designs? They were giving it away free (may still be doing so, click on their name to find out more). I used a background paper from The Paper Shelter and added her (in black & white) to the background before printing it (using a PNG format). I added some Wink of Stella and also some Glossy Accents to her wings. I made the background patterned papers with a new stencil and some Distress Oxide Inks. 

My flourish is from Flourish with a Bling - which is my company that is sadly closing down very soon - great news is that we're selling everything off as cheap as it can get! Some items are only $1! This flourish is called the Luke flourish, we have very unique items that we designed ourselves so I hope you'll go check the store out, we ship worldwide.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments - anything goes plus a sentiment

Copic Marker Norge - moodboard - inspired by the purple, blue and yellow

Crafting from the Heart - anything goes  

Creative Craft Cottage - Eileen's challenge - anything goes

Water fairy card (Faery Ink Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's the International Comedy Festival in Melbourne (Australia) and we've got tickets to see 2 comedians tonight, I'm very excited, I think it will be a great night! So I'm going to rush through these 2 cards as quick as I can, I didn't rush the cards though so I hope you like them.

I've been trying a few mixed media backgrounds lately, it's still new to me so sometimes it's a hit sometimes a bit of a miss but that's the only way to learn by keep trying isn't it? You can find this beautiful fairy at Faery Ink Designs and the water drops are from Flourish with a Bling. I added a little glitter to the water drops but I shouldn't have because they have a much nicer glimmer to them without it. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

CCC Digi Creations - add some glitter 

Come and Get it - it's a girl thing

Creatalicious - anything goes with option of Birthday

Creative Inspirations - one for the girls

Fairy and dragon Birthday card (Faery Ink Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've just changed my blog up a bit so it's easier for you to see the challenge details below, they were red but now I've managed to change them to white.

I printed this Faery Ink Designs image in grey tone rather than black to create a no lines image. I'm still very much practicing this technique so please don't look too closely hehe. After I'd coloured the image I realised I had a couple of colour smudges in the background so that's when I decided to add the blue liquid pearls to hide them and I think it worked really well. As they say, there's no errors with crafting :)

I used some gorgeous Flourish with a Bling - the Chloe pearl flourish and Elise flower. We only need 3 more followers on our blog before we giveaway a lovely prize pack, click HERE to see the prize pack and follow our blog. We also have a DT call.
