Autumn blessings

Hello there,

Today's post is to let you know that we've a new challenge starting today over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog, the theme this month is Autumn and/or Halloween. I've chosen the Autumn theme, and will probably send the card to friends in the US for Thanksgiving. I made most of the card using a kit called Sweater Weather which came with issue 202 of Papercraft Essentials. I love Autumn and was really drawn to the colours and the images.

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

Magic unicorn in the flowers

Hello there,

It's time for a new challenge over at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog which starts today. As usual it last for about a month so I do hope that you'll join us.

The theme 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 side bar on the blog. 

This month I've used a unicorn die Dawn Bibby Creations Magic Unicorn die and coloured it with Craft Artist Mica Magic as a bit of an experiment. The jury is still out on that one - as they say! Although it does look better in real life than it does in the photo.

Card recipe 

8 x 8 white card blank

White card for the die cut and sentiment

Purple and black card for the mats

Clarity Groove Designer Paper

Dawn Bibby Creations Magic Unicorn die

Craft Artist Mica Magic greens, grey, pink and lilac to colour the unicorn

Tonic, Spellbinders and John Next Door Stitch Dot Dies 

Sentiment from my stash probably free with a magazine

Purple net ribbon, purple roses and black pearls to finish it off

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.
