Nobody is perfect!!!

Good morning, windy day here but still warm and sunny - the wind is actually freshening the air so it's welcome! Least we don't have threats of hurricane like my friends in the south - stay safe down there!

I'm here today with my monthly spotlight for Scrap N Dipity. There are times when things just don't go right for us no matter what we do and we all have to accept that nobody is perfect even little fairies. The Digi stamp I am using today is no exception say hi to Hang in there Fairy

She is clinging to that branch for her life!

I have colored the image with alcohol markers. I then die cut the stitched frame around her and before I removed the image from the die I inked it with distress inks. The frame is actually a straight rectangle but I cut around one set of the stitched patterns to create the wavy edge.

I chose hot pink plain and dotty papers to mat my card and layered my image on top of them. 

I typed up the sentiment on my PC and again die cut and inked then cut around the stitched pattern. As I had placed my image at an angle I used foam dots to adhere the sentiment at the opposite angle.

A few liquid pearls just finished the design.

Smile you are on Camera

Good morning! The weather here is hot hot hot! which would be nice however the humidity is also very high so it's difficult to be outside for long   

Today I is my turn to showcase over at Scrap n' Dipity and I have a cute image for you today.

Meet Reid and Rose an adorable couple who are posing to have their photo taken

I have colored them with my alcohol markers and used the colors from their clothes for my card design.

I matted my card blank with purple card and some cute floral design paper. Using a coordinating paper I made 2 small mats and placed these in opposing angles.

I then matted my image with the same purple card and adhered this using foam tape for dimension.

The flowers are a tuck in die again cut from the same card along with the Smile sentiment.

A few pearls made from crystal drops just balance the design.

Good morning it's been a busy few weeks for me but I'm now back to regular blogging and today is no exception

I am spotlighting over at Scrap N' Dipity today showcasing a gorgeous new digital stamp that Alisha has designed

Meet Preg -Nancy:

She will be available in the Scrap N' Dipity store this week but I couldn't wait to color her up

She looks really serene sitting with her hand on her pregnant tummy cradling the baby that is in there.

I colored her up using alcohol markers and of course she had to be in pink! I wanted to keep the card very simple as the image is very powerful so I just added a simple stamped sentiment/ I matted my card base with both pale yellow and pink card before adding my image

A few yellow enamel dots just add a finishing touch to the design.

Mushroom Fairy has some news!!!!

Hello - Today I'm excited to announce that I am joining the Spotlight Team over at Scrap N' Dipity and today is my first posting on their blog!

They have some adorable digital stamps in their store which cover a wide range of themes. Of course I had to pick a fairy for my first make and I loved the cute face on The Mushroom Fairy:

Isn't she sweet!!!

I  couldn't wait to color her up!

I have always been an avid Spectrum Noir marker user but recently I have been having problems with the pens coming apart so as I do so much coloring these days I decided now would be the time to invest in Copics. My wonderful hubby purchased me a collection of 72 for our anniversary and I have been buying the odd singles each week to bolster my collection. I have to say after using them properly for the first time on this little fairy I love them! I still needed to use some Spectrum Noirs to increase my color range.

Once I colored the image I matted Little Miss Mushroom onto green card. I used the same card for the butterfly tuck in die and used the waste from this to add the butterflies around the image. 

I chose some design paper from my stash that coordinated with my coloring and again matted this with green card. 

I added the mats to my card blank placing the die cut under the image and the butterflies around it.

Ingredients Used:

Scrap N' Dipity Mushroom Fairy Digital Stamp

Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth White Card

Copic Markers

Spectrum Noir Markers

Tattered Lace Butterfly Tuck in Die

Green Card

White Card base made from Staples White Cardstock
