Flower Fairy

Morning Crafters,

I am back again with another card using one of the most gorgeous, cutest Whimsy Flower Fairies, these images are just the cutest.  I have also tried out Mariska's paper piecing tutorial, something I have wanted to do for ages.  A word of advice though, I think it would of gone a lot better had I had the correct tools, i.e. the scissors and the correct glue.  I have just used ordinary glue and you don't get quite as much dimension.  The tiny elements on this stamp were rather fiddly but I do love the result.

The little paper bag that is holding the tag was white.  I used my copic airbrush system and BV000 to colour the bag lilac, something I'd be doing more of as I love everything to match.

The Design papers are from Magnolia called Hydrangea.  The flowers are from the Ribbon Girl and BunnyZoe. The gorgeous Emily lace, seam binding and twine  is also from The Ribbon Girl.

The beautiful butterfly is by Magnolia called "Butterfly Kit.  It comes with two different size butterflies and also the butterfly text which I have used just underneath the butterfly here and also can be seen on the left hand side. I have also used a 6x6 brick stencil and snow text to create the brickwall effect and positioned the butterfly onto.

Copic Marker Ingredients:-

Skin E00, E000, E0000, E11

Hair E43, E31, E29, E50

Lilac BV11, BV01, BV000

Cream E44, E42, E40

Morning Crafters,

Can't believe how quickly this comes around, but it's time for another challenge at BunnyZoe.  This time is something quite different...... Be inspired by one of the BunnyZoe DT Members.  So hop on over to the challenge post and chose a DT member who inspires you and enter this month's challenge.

My card today has been made using accetate. I wanted to use the new Kaisercraft Wooden Gates and I thought they would work fabulously with Tilda with corkscrews, but I didn't want to lose the beautiful intricate design of the wooden doors.  I added Fabscrapbs latch set so the card can be closed and opened.

The beautiful butterflies are from from magnolia butterfly kit, link below, and I stamped the butterfly text directly onto the accetate using stazon ink before attaching the butterfly.

Here's a view with the card open, so at all times you can see those fabulous gates and of course the little princess inside.  The terrocota pot on the right hand side is a Marianne Design Die which I cut and out on cryogen cardstock and then coloured with my copic markers.  I added some Flower Spray to the top, love it.  The gorgeous paper is from Magnolia called Japanese garden.

Here's a view of the back of the card.   I have cut two magnolia doohickey tags and will add text later.  The banner is by LaLaLand and oh almost forget the edges are using the Magnolia Doohickey Lacing Coffee die.

More Marianne Design March Release

Morning Everyone,

I have a cute little card today made using the new release Marianne Design Don and Daisy stamps called "Love Is", so sweet.  The edging of the card was made using the gorgeous Laced Coffee Magnolia Doohickey Die, which has fast become one of my favourite dies.  The paper is also from the new Marianne Design Romantic Vintage Pad.

The dusky pink flowers as seen below were made using the Marianne Design Creatables Branch and Flower 2 LR0257, they look like Dahlia's and quite realistic.

The gorgeous Vintage Parasol is another March release from Marianne Designs, isn't it gorgeous.  It can be used for vintage cards and also as a baby shower card. Love this release.

The heart shape at the bottom right is made from Airdry Clay, so easy, light and detailed.

Thanks for popping by.

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend.  Mine came and went as usual, I never seem to have enough hours in the day and speaking of which I still haven't got round to catching up on commenting, I'm so sorry if I haven't visited in a while, I will try my hardest this week, I haven't abandoned you promise.

 It's the start of a new week and a new theme at the Live and Love Crafts and this week the team will be focusing on "Fussy and Fancy".  Well I think all my cards are fussy and fancy so just love it and I know you will all love what the team have for you this week, they are all so very talented, so don't forget to keeping popping by.

Forgive my photo's I just couldn't seem to get a good photo that truly reflected the card so you will just have to take my word for it that it is better in real life.

I have coloured up an older image, but one I think is just soooo cute from Lili of the Valley.  The base of the card was created using a Go Kreate Die, just love these.  The gorgeous Aqua Paper is by Riddersholm and is called Camile, and matched the Aqua Poppies and Aqua PomPoms, all links at the bottom of the post as usual.

Oh have you seen the new Apples and Blackberries in store, they are yum, love them, and thought they would go well with my image, just imagine that the cake is apple and blackberry, now I'm feeling hungry, lol.  You can see a close up of them below and don't those Aqua poppies look fab too and all topped off with an Aqua Heart Pin and a dashing of gesso. Sounds like a recipe, hahaha.

The little tag pulls out to reveal a Friendship Recipe, which I edged in some aged aqua frantage.  The top of the tag is finished off with some seam binding, new pearl cord and pompom trim and finished with a bottlecap metal trinket.  I haven't photographed the pearl cord very well but its quite rigid so will stay where you want it to and it has pearls scattered along the way.  You can just about make out one in the picture below to the right on the tag.

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments that you may leave.
