You are fabulous...

I just love this fairy image! She is from Whimsy stamps and called 'Silver Fairy'. It's definitely one of my favourites. There are several layers to this card. I used Kaszazz shield die for the craft colour background, the circle punch for the moon and a memory box die for the dandelion type image, which is actually called Chloe Stem. The grass die is also from memory box. They make great dies which come in handy little envelopes to store them in too. I coloured the image in using Tria markers and highlighted certain parts using Ice stickles. I used distress inks to colour the chloe stem and the shield. I then just layered them all together on a white card with the words "you are fabulous" , which is a mini messages stamp from Kaszazz.
Had a lot of fun creating this card. So, my challenge to you is, create a card using several layers which creates a bit of a scene . (and I do mean landscape- not a dramatic event!! )
Hope you are having a creative week.
Take care

Sunset Forest card

I have quite a few stencils and must say, I don't play with them as much as I'd like. I used this tree stencil with distress inks and blenders. The colours used were fired brick, spiced marmalade and mustard. After creating, I cut it out and did a subtle highlight of black soot on the edges. I then tied this kaszazz grosgrain ribbon around it and stamped 'it's your birthday' on a small strip of card, edging it with black soot. I adhered the forest scene to a white card and then mounted it onto a base orange card from the kaszazz range.
All a bit of fun really, now to dig out some more stencils and have even more fun!!!
Take care

Window Flowerbox Card

I"ve had this image for quite a while, but couldn't figure out what to do with it. It's great when you get that sudden burst of inspiration. I'm quite happy with the result! I coloured in the window with coloured pencils and burnished them to give a slightly shiny look. I used the inspiration words from Kaszazz mini messages stamps - love their mini messages. The flower stamp is a Stampin Up one from the set called Bliss. I used Tim Holtz Distress markers to colour in the flowers , huff on them and stamp. The base background is an embossed piece of cardstock - brick design. This has all been put together on an ivory card. Quite a bit of fun really. I feel inspired to try some more with this window- I wonder how else I can adapt this...
Hope you're having a creative time.
