Bluebell fairy

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. This month I decided to use images from the flower fairies by Cicely Mary Barker. They are from a kit which came with an issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft a few years ago. I made a card with the Rose fairy image a couple of years ago. 

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.

Hello, 

It's time for our new Pearly Sparkles challenge which starts today, as always on the 1st of the month, over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog. Our theme this month is Include a sentiment or verse. I've made a birthday card  for a friend who really appreciates handmade cards. I've used a mix of some embossed card and foiled vellum which has been in my stash for years, plus a new sentiment die I've bought.

I do hope you'll join us over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog this month and share your makes with us.
