EAC No. 139 - Believe in Fairies

It's Tuesday and time for our "Fairies" challenge over at Everybody Art Challenge.

For once I am really pleased with the finished card, partly because it came together really quickly and the cute image was a dream to colour. I have used my two favourite papers within the Jack & Jill paper pad by Prima. You can purchase this from Stamps and Memories Here is a close up of the image coloured with Prisma Pencils.

Materials Used: Card - Bazzill brown and pinky brown Paper - Prima - Jack & Jill Image - Pink Gem - Sprinkles Fairy Colouring Medium - Prisma Pencils Embellishments - Lace, Ribbon, Flowers, Butterflies using a Martha Stewart punch, Heart Button from K&CO Sentiment - Lili of the Valley Stickles glue to add sparkle to the flowers, butterflies and fairy. The inside is decorated in a similar way to the front of the card. I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

It's Tuesday again so that means another challenge from Everybody Art Challenge and this week we have a sketch for you to follow. I have used a very cute stamp from Pink Gem Designs and coloured it using copics. The papers are from DCWV - Nana's Nursery. Sorry for the short post, time is very short at the moment and 5 ducks are calling for their breakfast! Thanks for looking. Jenny

Fit for a Queen - Card Competition

This week I have been busy working on a card to enter into a competition being run by Quick Cards. To enter you had to make a birthday card for the Queen who will be 83yrs in June and send a birthday message. The closing date is Tuesday 5th May and true to form I have left until the last minute to get my entry in. The beautiful fairy is a stamp by Pink Gem Designs, named Sprinkles Fairy. I ordered it off the website and it arrived the next day. I coloured her in using copic caio markers set B. The papers are from K&Co, Basic Grey, Bazill, Glitter card and some red handmade paper with sparkles on. Not sure where this came from. I made the larger leaves using a spellbinders die. The other leaves I made using a cheap small oak leaf punch and attached a number of them to a branch shape I cut out. I know a lot of people have bought the Martha Stewart branch punch but it is pricey at £10.95 so I improvised and used what I already have in my stash. It's going to be a busy weekend as I have a wedding invitation order to complete and various cards that need to be made. This card was made using a sketch found on Tiets blog. I didn't use the exact measurements given. http://simplyscrapcards.blogspot.com/2009/04/1-sketch-3-cards.html
