Knight card

There's a fabulous challenge over at CRAFT challenge, this week

.... Fairy tale.....

 Our sponsor is Glitterbabe and the generous prize is $10 for her online shop which you can find here

The knight image is one of giltterbabes digi images

The knight image I've used for my DT card is one of Giltterbabes digi images

Reciepe: I used one of my favourite paper packs, I'm sure we all have one, I hate to use the papers from it though as I love to look at the papers. Anyway I finally gave in and used a sheet as I thought it fitted the theme. So the paper is from a DCWV paper pack. I've added glitter on the edges and glitter onto the image so that it matched the glitter dots already on the paper. I've then added a ribbon (SU).

Shaped card

Here's my card

I used one of the Trio of Ballerina images designed by Lexis which you can find as a digi at Fairy dust crafts of Stitchy bear stamps

I made the card using the largest heart die from Nellie Shellen on white card to made a Easel card.

I inked the edges with pink to make them stand out. I used another of the heatr dies to cut out shapes from some pink Magnolia paper. I added the image which I coloured in with Promarkers. I then decorated with flowers (Hobbyhouse), punched leaves (punch from Hobyhouse), charm, (Meiflower crafts) and pearl gems and added a 'with love' stamp.

Inked Fairy Card

I went to the Artstamps show at Newbury last weekend and finally i've been inspired to use the Lavina stamps that I bought 18 months ago. I've always loved the inked cards but they look so hard to do. After watching a demo at the show I decided to have a go when I got home. It's not perfect, I think the colours in the sky could be stronger but I'm pleased with it as a first attempt. I'll keep practicing.

The background is inked using distress inks, I used bit of torn paper to get the hills and masked out a circle for the moon. I stamped the tree and Lavina fairy using Versafine black ink and then added the leaves (another Lavina stamp) using distress inks . I then added the cute fairy message (Lavina again) and mounted the while thing onto some silver paper, added bling in the corners and Stickles glitter to the fairydust before mounting onto a card blank.

I'd like to enter this into the
