Don't forget your broomstick!

Hello there,

Welcome to another Challenge over at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog, which as always starts the first Saturday of the month. As usual it lasts for about a month, and I do hope that you'll join us. 

The theme of the Challenge, as always, is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the guidance in the Challenge Rules, and in the side bar on the Challenge blog. 

This month I decided to use a Polkadoodles digi kit, Halloween Gnome.

Magical fairies

Hello there,

This month I decided to use a project pack I've had for ages, which came with Papercraft Essentials Issue 147. It is fairy themed and has a pad of papers, die cut toppers and silhouettes, and I was inspired by one of the cards in the magazine. 


 

Card recipe

White circular card blank cut using dies 
Papers, topper and silhouette fairies from the project pack
Purple card for the mats and sentiment
Crafter's Companion white pearlescent card
Presscut circular dies, plain and stitch dot
John Next Door sentiment die
