Naughty Fairy

This is a bit different from my normal cards. I've used an image I choose from Stitchy Bear Stamps after winning a voucher for the store by displaying the digi badge for the 1st brithday badge at Stitchy Bear Stamps.



The papers, sentiment, ribbon and card candy are all from a Craftwork Cards goodie bag. The digi image is coloured in with Promarkers.

Dinosaur on the loose..............

Well it's time for another challenge at CRAFT. We've a fun challenge this week:
Anything but a card
I had to get my thinking cap on for this and decided on a name plaque for my 4 year old.
The papers that I've used are all from our sponsor this week, Toucan Scraps.

Here's my dinosaur plaque:



This started out as a round 6.5" circle of wood that I got from hobbycraft. I've used the dinosaur digi paper pack from Toucan scraps. For the leaves I've used a punch and my Slice machine. The letters are also made using my Slice. There's also a brown distress inks around the image and on the leaves. I've used some black gems and leaf sequins to decorate it. The digi image is from Stitchy bear stamps that I've coloured in with Promarkers.
