Lavinia Fairies for my magical girl!

It was our Holly's birthday earlier this week and she's such a nature girl, I thought she would love a Lavinia scene - this could be her and Violet!!  

I made the background with Distress Oxides and then coloured in with my Arteza waterbrush pens.  I've then added some Distress Oxides for the ground and edging.

I meant to stamp the blessings words stamp before I added the fairies and flowers etc but forgot but  instead I stamped it on after with Memory Box London Fog so it still has that faded into the background!

I'm also entering my card into this month's Lavinia challenge where the theme is Make It Bright.

Hugs, Juliexx

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge no 5

I needed to make a new home card for my SIL and thought this gorgeous freebie image  from Mo's Digital Pencil would fit the bill perfectly.  What a fabulous artist she is!!

The challenge this week is to use three bits of glitter and sparkle - well, I've got the diamente brad, the paper from My Minds Eye is glittered, and I've added purple stickles to the bracelets the girl is wearing.  Made the sentiment with some mini alphabet stamps and SU punches - this seems to fit both the image and the occasion to a T!  Charms are from Quixotic Paperie - they're shiny too!!   Loved using this easel template again as well.  Used the old faithul promarkers and also Old Paper Distress Ink for the edge of the image.

Finally, hydrangea flowers and card candy from Craftwork Cards to finish up!!

The Old Red, White and Blue!!

This is my card for the Colour Create Challenge this week. I loved the colour scheme this week - Red, White and Blue - and didn't think I'd have any trouble. BUT... I have hardly any navy paper or navy promarkers. It's just added a load of new must haves to my stash wish list!! Card is for my Dad, who was knocked off his bike on Sunday - luckily, just a bit shaken and bruised, but thought it fitted in well with the colour scheme and the optional extra of travel!!
