Whoooooo loves ya baby

I have been making this card for almost a week where I had to keep leaving it to let the glitter dry. Unfortunately I really cant get a good photo of it this is the best of a dozen or so that I took, so your just gonna have to believe me when I say it looks better IRL.

This is one of the digi images by Nana Vic and I soo love that predatory look on the male owls face.

I printed the image onto printable acetate and then used  every colour of glitter I possess. And yes I managed to get glitter everywhere even the cats are walking around glittering at the moment lol.

Nana Vic

Do you ever have one of those days when it doesnt matter what you do it dopesnt go right? (and just to prove a point I am going to leave the typo I have just noticed cause it does kinda sum me up. LOL.

Well I have had one of those days today! I've dropped things, spilt things and lost things. But after a lot of frustration I did finally manage to make my first official DT card using one of Nana Vic's new digis.

This is called Adoption and comes with some gorgeous sentiments for adoptive and foster parents. There is also a boys version and they can be found at Nana Vic's Digitals



I coloured the image with Copics the papers are Forever Friends from Docrafts. The sketch is from Creatalicious Challenges. Not too sure if it shows in the piccie but there is faux pas stitching on the card in sakura glitter pen.
I used the rest of the papers inside and one of Nana Vic's sentiments which I think is just perfect and can be used for so many occassions. I took the little rag doll from the image and once I had enlarged it I copied it and flipped the image for the inside.

Make It Crafty meets Seraphina




I have been playing with this card for a few days now and finally finished it sorry photos are not too great today, I think my camera is dying!

The fairy house is from Zoe at Make It Crafty and the mice are Seraphina form the digi image disc. By the way Zoe has some freebie scenes on her blog at the moment.

Not sure if you can see but I have added stickles for the bubbles the mouse on the boot is blowing and some glaze for water coming out of the watering can.

I coloured the images with Derwent pencils and gamsol for a change.

I made this card for the Dotties World Challenge No Designer Papers, but being a bit of a dimlow I just found out that was last weeks challenge and this week its paper piecing!!!!!!!!!!!

These pixies are soo adorable and I really dont use them enough.

I decoupaged the pixie and flower pot so she really stands out not sure if that really shows on the photo though, never thought to take a side view duh!

Anyway hope you like.

Today I want to share with you a card I made using the Check Fairy.


I just love this little cutie she is so versatile and easy to colour LOL. Today she is living in Fantasy Land and I do hope the weather is better there (It's another miserable Summers day here in London, no sun in sight!).
These gorgeous papers are from Raspberry Road Designs. I printed the papers onto glossy paper to give them their best effect and coloured Check Fairy with Copics and Shimmerz for her wings I then covered all of her in Glossy Accents. This made the Shimmerz crack on the wings but I have left it cos its made a great effect.


I just couldnt resist using more of these lovely papers so made this an Easel card. I punched Check Fairy and made a stop with her for the easel.


Quick look at the bottom papers in full, arent they just fabby, so am going to have to make some more fairy cards to use the rest of these papers!

Anyhoo I think I have probably held you up for long enough now so you need to be on your way to Claire of Claire's Crafty Creations Next. Don't forget to leave some love in order to win the prizes!
