Easter bunny

Hello there,
Here's my April card for the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge, as usual it's anything goes with the option of Easter bunny. This month we're sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy, I've used the Cute Toy 1 stamp as theme is Easter bunny. It's a very simple card as I was pushed for time and having messed up my colouring attempt I've used the pre-coloured version.

What I've used

White A5 landscape card Mont Blanc from Anna Marie Designs
Lilac card from Lime Tree Crafts for the mats
Anna Marie Designs super smooth printing card for the image
Background papers from Cardmaking & Papercraft Issue 194
Lilac gingham ribbon and pearls from my stash

I hope you like the card and will leave a comment if you have time.

The Queen of hearts

Hello there,
This  is my March card for the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge, the theme this month is anything goes with the option of Alice in Wonderland. I'd nothing in my stash I could turn into Alice so thought outside the box a bit and have come up with this.

What I've used

8x8 Anna Marie Designs white card blank
Red card and black card for the matting and layering, white for stamping on
Black card for the "Drink me" bottle
Tonic dies for the perfume bottle and frame, and the tag
Pebeo silver gilding wax to highlight the embossing on the bottle - doesn't really show in the picture which is a shame.
Card stamp free gift with Creative Stamping magazine
Poppy Promarker to spot colour the hearts
Barn Door Distress ink used to brush the edges of the
Queen of Hearts cards from a mini card set free with a Christmas cracker

The ribbon was a last minute addition as I stabbed my finger with a poky tool when inserting the brad! So the ribbon was to cover the blood smudge, I also had to redo the tag as I'd bled over that too. Still all ok in the end.

I hope you like my card, please leave a comment if you've time, and please do come over and join us at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge this month

Love is in the air

Hello,
Valentine's Day this month so love is definitely in the air.

Here's my card for the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge for February where the theme is a bit of loving. This month we're very kindly sponsored by the fabulous Ike's Art, and my card is made using the Athena image. As you may know Athena is the Greek goddess of Wisdom, Handicrafts and War  - so unfortunately not of love!

I've tried something I've not done before and made it 2 tone using cream and red - the colour of love - and just spot coloured the image using red.

What I've used

8x8 cream card blank
Lime Tree Berry Red card,
Lime Tree Ivory Cream card
Promarker's Poppy Red for the spot colour
Sizzix hearts die for the small hearts and border
Tonic Will's Hand Love die

I hope you like the card, please leave a comment if you've time.

Also please do join us this month at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge, and thanks again to Ike's Art for sponsoring us this month.
