Hey all! So here we are half way through March already and just wanted to remind you to enter into the challenge where as usual it is anything goes, to enter and for more information  click here . Absolutely loving the images I've been able to play with this month on the design team, so much I've made another 2 cards.   So starting with the card on the left the more complex of the two I would say. Firstly I downloaded the digi stamps and printed four images onto a sheet of A4  Color copy 160gsm pape r, which I then cut up to individual toppers.  Using Spectrum Noir Triblend brush pens I coloured in the one of the images, deciding to give the fairy a tanned colour to her skin along with a orange dress and accessories.  I used a spectrum noir clear sparkle pen to go over the fairies wings to give them a sparkle and coloured the bug's wings with a spectrum noir sandstone sparkle pen.   I cut down an A4 piece of super smooth card suitable for alcohol markers to...

Hey all! Hope you are well. Today I’m sharing a card I made for a crafty friend who has hurt her arm and unable to currently craft. Firstly I got a plain white A6 size of card stock and with my distress oxide mowed lawn, medium beautiful blender brush and the stencil a sunny side up again using the grass edge I created a grass layer on the bottom section of the card blank. Once the grass was completed I took my stormy sky distress oxide and the relevant blender brush and this time using the cloud edge of the stencil I created two layers of clouds.

As always it is anything goes, for more information  click here.  So here is my inspiration for the start of this new challenge month, using Sherri Baldy's My Besties Forest Fairy Doll 2 , which can be purchased from  here.

I would say the smaller card is the most simplistic with only involving matting and layering paper/ card along with stamping for the sentiment and colouring the image.  The other card the larger one involved colouring and stamping like the first but also involved using stencils and paste. So for this first card I downloaded my digi image and printed four of the same images on to a sheet of A4 paper, suitable for using alcohol markers on; once printed I then cut the paper up into four so had four individual ...
