Faery Ink New Release~ Peace Fairy

Good Morning Crafty Friends, I'm here to share a card I made for the New Release over at

I got to work with PEACE FAIRY and what a cutie!

I used CS from American Crafts and DP from Recollections. Memory Box Flower and Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly Dies were used. Finished with a Sentiment Sticker from Michael's and Button and Twine from my stash. 

I colored the image with SN Markers and Prismacolor Pencils- added some Wink of Stella on the Wings:

 Added some clouds in the background with Pebbles Inc. Pastel Chalk.

Here's the inside of the card which I haven't put a sentiment in, as I'm not sure what I'm using it for as it's so versatile, could be "Miss You", "Thinking of You" or even "Happy Birthday". :o)

I hope you've been inspired to create!

Don't Forget there is still time to participate in our FB CHALLENGE- SCENERY!

Happy Craftin'!

MWLW New Release- Lil' Miss Grumpy

Good Morning Crafty Friends!

I'm here to share a card I made for 

This week's New Digital Release includes "Little Miss Grumpy", "Sympathy" & "Cherry on Top".

 So here's some inspiration for you using

 Little Miss Grumpy.

 This lil' gal is just too cute for words even...reminds me of me...I didn't wanna dress up...I wanted to run and play with the boys! lol!

I used CS From American Crafts and Pierced a border around the edge and used a white Gellyroll Pen for some faux stitching. Added a layer with an EF from We R Memory Keepers.  Cut out a tag around the image free hand and inked with Distress ink. Then added some Ribbon and Twine from Recollections. The button and Enamel Dots are from my stash. For added  dimension, I added Liquid Pearls in White.

Mother's Day in Portuguese!

Hello my crafty Friends! 

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Sparkles Monthly Challenges. 

Our theme this month is:

IT'S SPRING- Use 5 flowers on your project!

Our lovely sponsors this month are:

 Prize - £10 Goody Bag
(UK only due to postage)

I had a card request for a Mother's Day card with a Portuguese sentiment and she enjoys gardening...so here's my take on it.

 I used the Arched Window Die from La-La Land Crafts and layered that onto an Embossed CS using "Bricks in the Wall" by Couture Creations to make it like her own cottage window with flowers. I went over with White Staz On Ink to get definition in the bricks. The Flower Dies are from MFT and La-La Land Crafts. I cut out the window and used acetate for the "Glass". CS is Recollections.

Here's a Closer look at the flowers:

Here's the Inside flap "Window":

and the other side:

I made the sentiment using Pic Monkey and made a border with "Fantasy Phlox" stamps by Rubber Stamp Tapestry in a variety of memento Dew Drop Inks.

I hope I've inspired you to play along this month and I look forward to your beautiful Creations.

Happy Craftin'!

Supergirl!

Morning crafty Friends!

I'm here to share a little card I made for my mother for Mother's day.

Now that's it passed, I can post it! LOL!

I used Superhero- Girl from My Whimsical Little World. 

Now my mother's my best friend and we share the same quirky sense of humor so of course I had to THANK HER FOR MAKING ME SO AWESOME!! As in SUPERGIRL!! Yup, I am my mother's daughter. LOL!

I used Distress Inks to create the "Sunset" Background using - Broken Chine, Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet and Spiced Marmalade.  I then used Moondust Gellyroll pen to dot some faint stars. CS is from Recollections and the Sentiment is from Hero Arts- OWH- Year Round Sentiments. "Mom" is also from Hero Arts,but I got it at a swap, so don't know the name of the set. 

Here's a closer look at the image

The Inside has "And thank you for making me so awesome Mom!" and then some mushy stuff!

BUT alas, I wrote her message inside BEFORE managing to take a picture. DOH!

But I hope you've enjoyed my make today!

Happy Craftin'!

Amy's Fairytale Inspiration- Rose Red & Snow White Digital Stamp

Good morning crafty friends!

It's my turn to host over at 

And today I have a card using Snow White & Rose Red from this month's new Releases! It's such a beautiful image and when I looked up the story, it's quite whimsical too!

I went with one of my favorite color combos: RED, BLACK & WHITE. 
CS is American Crafts and DP is from DCWV. I used my Petite dots embossing folder from Emossalicious - Crafter's Companion and finished with Twine, Bling and Roses from my stash. 

When I researched the story, I saw that Snow White had Hair so fair and Rose Red had darker tresses. 
I colored this sweet image with SN Markers and Prismacolor Pencils. 

 For the bear, I went over with my blender pen in a dotted fashion to get a fur like pattern...still need to work on that technique. LOL. 


Here's the inside with the same design as the front and what I thought was a perfect sentiment from Stampin' Up!

Be sure to stayed tuned for the other amazing makes from the DT Gals with this month's New Releases as they are FAB-U-LOUS!
