Magical Dandelions

Back to fairies! This is a simple little card, using some fairy and dandelion stamps from Lavinia. I have stamped the dandelion heads at different heights, some using white ink and some using a starlight silver (both Dewdrop pads). I have added some stickles to the flower heads to add some dimension and interest. The fairies have been embossed in silver with silver ribbon and a matching sentiment to finish (a Crafter's Companion Fairyopolis sentiment).

Dragons by Lavinia

This is a card back to my roots...I have been accused recently of concentrating too much on myth, magic and fairies. What can I say? I love them! Their world is much more interesting than ours...Anyway a friend of mine took 50 cards for people to look at and the overwhelming reply was that my cards are not generic enough. The most popular seemed to be those which are simple ones.  I can't help it though, the card opposite is the kind of card I love doing. I have used Lavinia stamps for the dragons and the wording behind. There is a script stamp on the vertical panel from Rubbernecker stamps and the sentiment is from Crafter's Companion Fairyopolis!! The paper is from a stack from DCWV which is rather magical and fairylike; the kind of paper you like to stroke... I have also used Distress Inks (Vintage Photo and Scattered Straw) as well as a gold Dewdrop ink pad. I am sure there are others out there who will love it...or so I tell myself!!

Lili of the Valley Fairy - Going Sepia!

As you may have gathered from my blog so far, I love this fairy! I decided to try something new with her and try using only sepia tones to colour her in. The sentiment is from the Crafter's Companion Fairyopolis I have also used raffia to add to some random buttons I had, and some funky textured brown wrapping type stuff! I am still experimenting with texture, please add your comments if you have any suggestions! Her wings are outlined with dark pink glitter which you can't really see here, but it gives a nice sparkle to her! Thanks for looking x

Fairyopolis Fairy Card

I have just made this card for my daughter's 7th birthday - she loves fairies so much! This is another of those gorgeous stamps from the Fairyopolis range, I think she is called Harebell, but please correct me if I'm wrong! She looks so adorable and I love the butterflies that come on the stamp sheets to.

Again I have used Promarkers, along with a Cricut Storybook border, phrase and background shape.

Perhaps some more glitter is needed? Although the mint card is glittered (I know the photo's not great!).

Fairyopolis Flower Fairies - Daisy

This is Daisy, one of my favourite fairies from the new Crafter's Companion Fairyopolis range. I have coloured her with Promarkers and then lightly glittered her wings. I have also distressed the edges of the background shape, which is cut using the Cricut Storybook cartridge - my favourite and the most useful cartridge. I have used some flowers and Pinflair glue to help me keep them on - I'm learning!

Hope you like her, I think I need to practise blending the Promarkers a little more and also try some more colours; I have just been bought some more for my birthday!

Lovely fairies...

This is a card made using a Lili of the Valley fairy stamp, one of the Crafter's Companion Fairyopolis stamp sentiments and some punched flowers.

The edges were inked with Distress Ink and the flowers were punched out of coordinating cardstock.

The fairy herself was coloured using Promarkers.

Hope you like her!
