Sparkles Challenge #11 - Recipe

Good morning everyone. Hope all is well.

We have another challenge over at Sparkles Forum Challenge - this month the theme is a Recipe - Two papers, one ribbon or bow & two embellishments. Of course you can use more but we could like to see the recipe on the card somewhere. I have to say I am LOVING being on the DT. Its so much fun :)

Here is my card

I have used a lot of things from my stash here so not sure where a lot of it has come from! The decoupage I have had for ages but never found anything suitable for her to go on. I love the way she is perched on the flower. I have used a Brad for the middle of the big flower, this is from a fairy pack but thought the colours went well, and have a used  a  little metal flower also.

This month the winner will recieve $10 to spend at  Stitchy Bear Stamps

Friends are like flowers....

Evening everyone :) hope you are all well!

The card below has been created using a digi stamp from the wonderfull Emerald Faerie Garden.

I adore these little creatures, the image I have used is called the Larakins. A proper cheeky pair!

For the background I tried a different method of gluing on some fabric - because of the colours more than anything, but I wont be doing that again - too messy!!!

I distressed the background of the image and the sentiment using promarkers and a sponge. The sentiment is pink, and the image is pink and yellow (the yellow doesnt come up well in the photo).

The sentiment reads:

Friends are like flowers.

They blossom & grow

and brighten the darkest moments

The papers behind the image & flowers are from my stash.

WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED????

Afternoon everyone. Hope you are all having a wonderfull bank holiday weekend!!

I have been using the excellent images at The Octopode Factory again!! This time using the Queen of Hearts from Alice In Wonderland. She is adorable in a crazy way hehe.

The image I coloured with Pro Markers, using some little sequins for the lining of the cape. and a little bit of glitter on her earings and head. Everything else is from my stash.

The sentiment I distressed with a sponge and my promarkers, along with a black ink pad & says:

Who's been painting my roses red?

WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED?

Who dares to taint, with vulgar paint, the royal flower bed.

For painting my roses red, someone will lose his head!

Purple and Lace

Yep, I know I said I was banning myself from using the Gorjuss girls..... but I couldn't help myself..... and I only had one decoupage image left.... I couldn't leave her on her own now could I?? hehehe

Just a quick post for now, Not sure I'm that happy with the card at the moment... seems there is something missing but can't figure out what at the moment. May have a tinker with it later.

The pink paper in the background isn't part of the card - I didn't have time to clear my space so just put a piece of paper down for the background hehe.

The image is from a decoupage pack, the lace I brought from my local Haberdasheries for 50p a meter!! bargain. The ribbon, brad and flowers are from my stash. I have also added a little lilac bow to her hair.

Fairies & Glitter.... 2 of my favourite things

Good evening! Hope you all had a lovely Easter bank holiday weekend.

Below is a make from today.

The glue and glitter is still drying so had to be a bit carefull taking these pics :) The glue will dry clear.

The image is from a decoupage sheet (sorry not sure where I got it from)

The saying I found off of the internet:

The trees are alive!

The river overflows with them

See how they dip and dive

What funny little fellows

What dainty little dears

They dance and leap and prance and peep

And utter fairy cheers

The backing paper is from a set i brough off of ebay, along with the butterfly brad on the ribbon. The ribbon and flowers are from my stash.

I have highlighted certain areas with glitter glue including the flowers in her hand, hair and parts of her wing - along with the edges of the flowers.
