Yellow mono fairy

I am so very happy to be receiving comments on my blog. I think I have managed to switch the word verification thingy off so please let me know if I haven't. This is all still very new to me. I am still in fairyland today but as I used a sakura stardust pen there isn't too much glitter about. I don't know why this little fairy slipped to the bottom of the box as she is such a sweetie and I enjoyed colouring her. I have made an attempt at keeping to a single colour choice so hopefully it has worked.

Pink fairy

Where did all this pink paper and card come from? In fact I have to own up, it is never far away and just what you need on an overcast Somerset day. Also never far away is my collection of great fairy stamps. My Celtic roots allow me to enjoy every minute of playing with fey items and with Gaelic songs playing in the background this card was all about having fun. The sentiment says it all again.

Feathers

Been very brave today and got the feather box out, I'm not great with feathers as it reminds me of plucking chickens as a kid which was the most hated chore on the croft. Ok I know our chickens weren't purple but even those give me a bit of a shudder. However I felt that feathers was the stuff to use on this card and so I just had to focus on the 'champagne' colour. It has been a funny week for my cardmaking as Monday and Tuesday I was doing some  hand cut decoupage from the "Big One" cd, and as my hands aren't brilliant it was very hard work.All 3 cards are for family so they won't appear on here.
So as a treat today I am playing with my PBs and they always bring a smile.I added a sentiment from Whimsy which I thought very useful with my selection of chicken stamps.

Wish fairy

Sat here very quietly today, my computer threw a wee tizz this morning and didn't start up correctly and then when it did it didn't want to connect to 'hyberspace'. Still all ok now and I'll get on with this little card. The sentiment stamp is very fine and I had a bit of trouble putting down enough ink with it to do the embossing well, I must remember to use a darker ink next time. I used a memory box buckle die behind the greeting which gave it the bit of colour I wanted. I do like to get more than one use from my dies.

Fairies on the Bottle

It has just brightened up here so I will do this quickly and then I'm out. This started of as an attempt at 'Iris folding' but that is never going to be listed under my accomplishments. I do try the Double MM fun challenge on the JS forum but for this month I have to admit I'm really more of a kaleidescope person. The stamps I used today are all very well used. I think the two outline ones were one of the first craft item I bought online and imagine my surprise when they arrived and I realised how wee they were - however they have proved very worthwhile. I should really have called this post "not iris folding" as I am never mean to fairies.

Everything used is from stash,

Same image 2 cards

Not going to mention that weather today but I received my new wellies in the post. I played with one of my favourite stamps twice. I also learned a valuable lesson, diecut your topper before putting the bling on, even with a soft piece of card to protect the bling the bigshot took revenge.  A few days ago a friend put a card on her blog with some lovely nitwit paper and I thought "I like that lots", fortunately I checked what I had already downloaded and there it was, already done. (One up against FM, I have to work very hard at being that logical). Part of these cards is my attempt to use some stash so hopefully they don't look to bitty as a result.

Simple Tractor

A bit of an overcast day here but an early start for me. I kept this card totally simple in the end having had 2 goes at colouring in the image. Got so close to it the first time and then messed up completely, never mind. Don't know where this year is going to but it is hurtling along at a fair pace. The card - This little fella is such a cutie and reminds me so much of my friends little boy. I have messed up my corner rounder cutting thick acetate so the corners aren't quite what they should be, must get hubby to look at it. Please spy my new die which is chat bubble. I'm really taken with these so you will see more of them. I suppose to be honest I'm just addicted to dies.
