Crafty Ctz DT - Fairies or Something Enchanting

Morning all

Well what a week! or should I say weeks - I've just finished a gruelling run of 18 days without a break - which is why I'm late with my post this morning. I hope you don't mind but I took the chance to lie in. 

Anyway, I'm here now and this weeks challenge has been set by the lovely Nick and she wants to see cards and projects with Fairies or Something Enchanting on them. We are sponsored this week by Stamping Boutique  who are offering our lucky winner 3 images of their choice

  

Now, I've been a naughty DT member this week and not used one of our lovely sponsors images, but I'm firmly blaming microsoft for my misbehaviour! I set my laptop to update to Window's 10 and it crashed the laptop - having recovered it and managed to get it to upgrade properly it's now removed the drivers which allow me to print to my wireless printer! it's just been a nightmare, so it's been back to physical stamps for me. 

So I've used this cute image from Lili of the Valley and one of their sentiment stamps too. She's coloured with promarkers in Blush, Mustard, Buttercup, Apricot, Spice, Dusky Rose, Lavender, Lilac, Amythest and Cool Aqua

The papers are all old one's from 12x12 sheet's that I've been using and abusing for about 2 years so I can't recall which make they are I'm afraid. The butterflies are a MS punch and the gems are from stash. 

I hope you like it and do come over and play with us. Until next time though, happy crafting! 

Crafty Catz DT - Sparkle and Shine

Hello and welcome to the final challenge of Crafty Catz 2015! 

I'm delighted to say that this week's challenge is my theme and I want to see cards with lots of Sparkle and Shine. 

After the mass production of Christmas cards it was nice to get back to something CAS this week

So I used the cute LOTV image which just screams glitter to me. I coloured it with Promarkers in Blush, Eggnog, Gold, Saffron, Polar Blue, Cool Aqua, Frosted Leaf, Icicle, Duck Egg and used the glorious gold hot pressed paper in the back. The butterflies are memory box and lots of stickles to make it all shine. 

So there we have it. Last challenge of the year and a reason to get the glitter out. Hope you can join us and we look forward to seeing you over at the blog.

Until next time, happy crafting
