Garden of Wishes Fairy

Bingo on the The Stamping Boutique blog this week.

I have chosen the top line Flowers, Bling, Image and Sentiment.  My bling is glitter on her wings.

The fairy is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with Copic's.  I think the backing paper is from one of the Crafter's Companion CD's not sure which one as I have loads that I printed of over the years and I am trying hard to use them all up before I print more.

I have used another of the digi stamps from Wee stamps, this one is called Silver Fairy.

I have coloured her with my new Copics.  The little dragonflies are made from a Quickutz die, I cut them in white pearlescent card and coloured the body of the dragonflies with a black pen.  I brought three more digi stamps from Wee Stamps  today, they are so cute so you will be seeing them soon.

Summer in my Garden

Click here to take you to my blog giveaway

I have been playing with my new Copics and I love them.  I coloured this Sarah Kay image and I am very pleased with the way the jeans have turned out.

Actually I am pleased with most of it but especially the jeans.

Here is the completed card

I am going to enter this into the following challenges

Cute Card Thursday  Here Comes Summer

Raise the Bar   There challenge is Summer


The sun was shining in my garden today although you would not know it was Summer, the wind was blowing a gale and it was cold.  I did have a visitor today, it's not often I see butterflies these days but one came in today, I think he was sheltering from the wind and he stayed still long enough for me to get my camera and take a photo.

To celebrate my new card blog I will be having a giveaway soon.  I have three of Jayne Nestorenko's Cute Companion stamp plates to giveaway to one of my follower's.  I will post the Candy post in a day or two so make sure you pop back to enter.

 

I found a new digi stamp company, well new to me Wee Stamps  the stamps are very cute and of course I had to buy some and I know I will be buying more of them very soon.  I also found a new challenge blog     

 

 J and C Creations

 

Their first challenge is 'All that Glitters' and as I was just finishing this card I just had to enter.  Her wings and the flower centre's have glitter on them.

Battery has gone in my camera and the scanner did not want to scan this card properly as the base card is white so I had to put my A4 cutting mat behind it.  Never mind it's finally scanned.

I coloured the image with Copics and wanted to give the clothing a frabricy (is that a word LOL) look so once I had coloured it I covered the outfit with the blender pen and it does make a difference although it is not really noticeable in the scan and neither is the glitter   : (      Lots of different Spellbinder dies, a Marianne die and some punches.

Happy Birthday Tom

Today's card is for an X-Box fans.  It is going to be entered into the Lexi's Creations Challenge # 66   

 The challenge is 'For the man/boy in your life'.

As you can see from today's card it was specially made for Tom

I wanted an unusual shape to the card so just cut it at an angle along the bottom.  The digi stamp is from Mo's digital pencil and is called  'Game On'. I coloured it with Copic's still not 100% sure if I like Copic's or Sprtrum Noir pen's best yet.  I think the paper is from a Joanna Sheen CD but I cannot remember which one.

Copic pens

Copic challenge

I love colouring in with alcohol pens and I have just brought some Copic Ciao pens.  I do have the Spectrum Noir pens already but loved how Mel Heaton used the Copics on TV the other day.  I coloured an image in with both just to see how each looked.

This card is for the Copic challenge blog
 

I used the Copic image to make the card mainly because it looked better on the card I had already coloured with Spun Sugar distress ink.

The little girl image is from the Sugar Plum Daisy CD from Polkadoodles.  The first time I have used digi stamps but I love them and will be using them more.  I used 3D pads to fix the image to the card.  The Cheery Lynn swirl die and the Joy card stand die also came this week so used both of them as well.  The card does stand on it's own but because of the shape it is a bit wobbly so used the card stand.  I did cut the stand twice and glued both pieces together as the card was a bit heavy for just one layer.

Here is the same image coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.

I added the little flowers because one of the green pens 'pooled' ink and rather then throw it away I popped the flowers on with a little pearl in the centre of each one.  All ready for another card.
