Fairy Magic

This week is our lovely Brenda's turn to host and she would like to see 'There's Magic In The Air'

Here is what I did, I used a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, and decided to make an easel card as the image is quite big, I also wanted to get quite a big sentiment on.  I adore this stamp and love colouring it, it's so pretty.  I used some Lavinia stamps for the background and also to put a pattern onto my flower.  This is for my Daughter Jodie who will be 18 on the 1st of June.

Pink Piggies

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Helene's turn to host and she would like to see 'Bring Your Bling' so that's lots of sparkle.
Here is what I did, I used cute and fun stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie, I did stamp it twice so I could do a practice run at colouring them and getting my colours right.  I needed to go with pinks because of the sentiment but then wanted to use papers that pulled the greens in too, I love this colour combo as I love the burgandy.  Adding gems and stickles gave me my sparkle for this weeks challenge theme, but then I always love to use some sparkle on my girlie cards.

Secret Gardens

Hi all,

And welcome, it's a new month for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenge this could be the one for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Things with Wings' So get out your Birdie stamps, fairy stamps or any other stamp you may have with wings. There's lots of scope with this one, I used a Kraftin' Kimmie fairy stamp called Bird Fairy, I love these stamps.  I have tried something different, as you know apart from distressing I'm not an inky person, but my best friend Brenda does some fabulous inking, and I'm always saying to her I wish I could do some of that.  So I took the plunge and tried to give this stamp some dimension by stamping vines around the image, maybe she's sat in a secret garden cloaked in vines.  Hope Brenda approves LOL!  We all have to step out of our comfort zone sometime.
