Happy Halloween

Hello there,
time for another Fairy and Unicorn Challenge, this month being October I went with the theme of Halloween with witches, spells and ghosts! The challenge theme as always is anything goes so long as it's fantasy.



What I used

White A5 Landscape card
CraftArtist2 with the Spooktacular digikit for backgrounds and embellishing
Oddball Art Book of Spells image for the main topper
Black ribbon bow

I designed the overall card, then split it into 3 layers, printed them separately and layered them up with foam pads to give some dimension.

I made an insert from the middle layer of the card and some of the same embellishments. The verse is from the Craftsuprint website, which has a very good selection of cards you can buy and make, plus verses to use in them.

I hope you like the card, please leave a comment if you've got time. Why not also check out the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge and join us there this month.

Unicorn in the clouds

Hello,
it's been a long time between posts again as I've been dealing with quite a few family issues. Fortunately I've managed to make my design team card for the Fairy and Unicorn challenge for September. The challenge is returning to its original status as a Fantasy challenge, and theme this month is anything goes but it must be a fantasy creation. I decided to use a new die I bought at a recent craft show for it, which is the Joy Crafts Magic Unicorn die.


What I used

White A4 landscape stepper card
White stamping card
Limetree Crafts Peacock Blue card
Pale blue cloud patterned paper which was free with a magazine
Joy Crafts Magic Unicorn die
Sue Wilson Double Pierced Circles dies
Tonic plain circle die
Spectrum Noir markers: IG1, IG2 and IG3; TB1, TB3 and TB5
Blue ribbon and blue and white pearls from my stash

I hope you like my card, please come and join us at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge this month.

Under the sea

Hello,
this is my card for the July Fairy and Unicorn Challenge, the theme as usual is anything goes with the optional theme of under the sea. There's no sponsor this month so I thought I'd have a play again with my Craft Artist 2 as I knew I had a digikit with a mermaid in it.


What I used

Craft Artist Fantasy collection 1 and Myth and Legends to create the background and the mermaid topper
8 x 8 white card blank
Rainbow miri card for a mat
White card for a mat
Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to add a bit of sparkle to the mermaid's tail
Papermania ink to edge the card and stamping the sentiment which is a magazine freebie
Spellbinders die to cut the sentiment out
Blue American Crafts sparkly brads which looked a bit like the colour of the sea
White net ribbon

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