Tilda in Enchanted Hollow!

Good Friday morning to you all!

Yeah - it's Friday!  I hope you're all enjoying that Friday feeling and looking forward to the weekend!

This is another card I've put together for my Magnolia class at Heather's on June 20th.  The Tilda is a new stamp to my collection and is the sweet Tilda picking flowers - but on this card I cut out the flowers and had her picking mushrooms from Heather's own line of stamps - the beautiful new collection named Enchanted Hollow.  Now, I don't want you thinking I have Tilda picking magic mushrooms or anything, but rather that she is an 'angel' herself and is picking these for the magical unicorn on Enchanted Hollow - Morning Star (she's in a previous post). That's my story anyway and I'm sticking to it, lol!!!  

The 'stars' are a fab little stamp from The Stamp Barn which work so brilliantly as a 'filler' image - snowflakes, stars, fairy dust - whatever your creativity wants it to be!!  I sponged the background with pale blue chalk ink and soft pink.  I wanted to create a very ethereal feel to the card and added lots of stickles and gemstones to help achieve this look.  What do you think ? Some ribbon off to the side of the card and it is finished.  It's a very simple design but I wanted to scene to speak for itself.

Well, thanks for your visit today and your much appreciated comments.  I love reading them so thank  you!  I wish you all a wonderful day!

I have a quick posting just to share some of the other altered notebooks I finished.  I have had people interested in buying these for their teacher gifts so I guess I will be making more for my own sons' teachers!  It's a good thing they're fun to do!

Morning Star Unicorn

Good Morning all!

Well, this is a new stamp from Heather's new line called Enchanted Hollow and this gorgeous unicorn is Morning Star.  Isn't she just the most beautiful unicorn you've seen!!  I fell in love straight away, lol!!  Now, this stamp is perfect for really any colour but I thought I would go with the lovely turquoises and sea greens, leaving the main body a neutral ecru colour.   I used my silver sakura gel pen to highlight some parts of her mane and tail.  

The layout of the card is pretty simple, using two square panels of dp with the stamped image being the focal panel in the middle.  I used my 2 sizes of retro flower punches and added 2 plain white prima flowers in each corner.  Small adhesive pearls were used in the flower centers and then I dotted them around the card to give it an extra magical feel.

I have to say I really love this card and it just makes me smile every time I look at it!  This will be a tough one to part with!!

I hope you are all enjoying a fabulous day and thanks so much for your blog visit today!  I love reading your comments so I thank you!

Friday Sketchers Challenge - Fairy Beautiful!

Hi all!

I had hoped to be back again today and here I am!  I had a fabulous morning browsing around The Paper Passion with Rosa - what incredible product - I was in heaven I tell ya!!  I was there for 2 hours and came away with some fabulous stuff and not breaking the bank account either! One thing I got, which I've been meaning to for ages, is a distressing tool.  As you can see I put it to work straight away on this card!  I started my colouring on the fairy last night and choosing papers too so it was great that it worked for the Friday Sketchers challenge today!

The stamp is a new image from Heather's Stamping Haven line by The Stamp Barn.  Isn't she adorable?  I love the delicate lines of the artist's drawing making the image very whimsical.  I chose aquamarine and beige as my colour combo which I really love together.  I coloured the fairy in with my Tombow markers and highlighted areas with my Sakura gel pens.  The flower is Prima and the beaded flower is K&Co - isn't it fab!!  I used a new Fiskars apron border punch and the MS branch punch finishes off the flower.

Well, the boys are out on play dates so I will take this 'quiet time' to sit down with a cup of tea and do some blog hopping and check out what you've all been doing!

Have a fabulous start to the weekend and hopefully see you back again soon!

Hugs,
