Happy anniversary

Hello there,

Our theme this month is Pink, Pearls and/or Sparkle, and I've gone for all three with this anniversary card. I also made a box for it as it had some dimension to it with the roses.

Mythical mermaid

Hello,

Welcome to another Challenge over at the Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog.  As always it starts the first Saturday of the month, and as usual it lasts for about a month. I do hope that you'll join us. 

The theme of the Challenge 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. 

We also now have optional monthly themes and this month it's Mermaids. I decided to use a new mermaid die I bought at a craft show I went to quite recently. The die is a very large one, so I've made a piece of home decor from it and put it in a 10 x 12 inch frame. It's now hanging on the wall in my craft room. 

Back in October 2023 I won a prize from LeighSBDesigns for my Magical Fairies card, which I entered into the Creative Inspiration Challenge. I was featured as her Fan Feature Guest for March with that card. For this picture I have used papers from Leigh's Mermaze Digi Paper Pack. I have used Caribbean Depths for the mat behind the mermaid die, and Caribbean Bubbles for the main backing paper . I am thrilled to be Leigh's Fan Feature Guest again, for July, on the LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog. 

Card recipe

10 x 12 picture frame with a white mount
Creative Expressions Papercuts Mythical Mermaid die
LeighSBDesigns Caribbean Depths from the Mermaze Digi Paper Pack
LeighSBDesigns Caribbean Bubbles from the Mermaze Digi Paper Pack
Press Cut plain oval and stitch dot oval dies
Create and Craft Sea Siren die set for the ferns, shells and starfish
Cut and Make mini die for the large sea shell
Sentiment from the Polkadoodles Mermazing Winnie set
Craft Artist Mica Magic to colour the mermaid's face
Spectrum Noir Colour Blend pencils 014 Bumble bee, 015 Canary, 018 Honey

I hope you like the picture I've made, it looks really great on my craft room wall. 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.
