Welcome to the fairy house

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 have a play with stamping and colouring, something I need more practice in! I thought the rather "rough and ready" style of colouring rather suited the image though.

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. 




Card recipe

7 x 7 Kraft card blank
Gold satin mirri card
First Edition Falling Leaves paper pad
Crafter's Companion Neenah Desert Storm stamping card
Woodware Fairy House stamp
Clarity Wee Folk Fairy stamps
Versafine Clair Pinecone ink

I hope you like the card I've made, please leave a comment to let me know what you think if you've got time. I do appreciate them and like to read them.

It's time again for a new Pearly Sparkles challenge, which as always starts on the 1st of the month, over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog. Our theme this month is Anything but a Card, so you've plenty of scope! This is a tag I made at a Zoom workshop recently, organised by Maxine at Maximumcrafts.com, and run by John Lockwood  I thought it would be suitable for a birthday, wedding or any special occasion.
