Holly Wreath Fairy - Crafts and me - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning and welcome to a new challenge at Winter Wonderland, where our theme 'Non-traditional Christmas colours was chosen by Christine.  I always love this theme because we get so many colour options to view. I have used a fabulous image by Hannah Lynn which is available from Teresa's shop at Craft's and me. It can be found here.


And here she is. Not my usual gallery of photos today as my camera did a nose dive and I couldn't get it to work after taking a couple of pictures of this image.

I fussy cut her and then created the background using matt silver mirror board, which I embossed with a darice snowflake folder. I also cut two of the decorative edges for the  concertina cards. (Shame I hadn't waited another day as I got the snowflake one on Tuesday.
I added lots of gems and pearls for extra bling Then added Flower soft to her furs and glitter to her wings and the stars in the wreath. Ribbon, dazzler, and charms from my stash.


A close up of the image. Doesn't she have amazing eyes??
She is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers.  It's great how the ultra fine nibs allow colouring of tiny spaces.

So what about getting started on your Chyristmas cards and join us in our challenge

The lovely Teresa at Crafts and Me has a voucher for £8 to spend in store for the lucky winner

Art Deco Melody - Lemon Shortbread - Crafts and Me - Fussy and Fancy DT


Hello again.  I am back with a card for the Fussy and Fancy DT, where our theme this week is 'Fashion' and was chosen by Tone.  This is an image that can be purchased at 'Crafts and Me' and is Art Deco Melody from Lemon Shortbread.  I bought this image ages ago and never got around to using it.


She is cut using a TL oval with a nestie behind her.  The deco style flourishes are from Tonic.  The dp is a DCWV and I layered with card from CC.  


I coloured her with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers, added a little distress ink around the edges and added gems from my stash.  It doesn't show in the photos but I used Sakura pens to her neckline and hipline.


A view of the inside but this time I used a tonic oval and deckled oval, and the sentiment is a magazine freebie.




We are  being sponsored this week by Sweet Lilac Flowers, and they are offering the winner a special prize.

I have to admit to being in awe of the talent of the ladies on the Fussy and Fancy team and you can find your inspiration here, I really hope you click on the link and take a look.

Thanks for looking today

Love Balloon - LOTV - Crafts and Me - PFP DT

Good morning everyone. Today I am sharing a card I made for a work colleague who's son is taking his girlfriend to Paris for Valentines day and is going to propose while he is there. It's safe to tell you as they don't blog.  It just so happens that it fits perfectly with this weeks challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Shelly has chosen the theme of 'Have a Heart' (include hearts).

My main image is from LOTV 'Love Balloon' and is from last year but getting it's first outing by me. The Paris skyline is also one I bought ages ago from Crafts and Me.


Flowers from WOC, Large heart is Joy Crafts and small one I think is also from Joy Crafts. Crystal Sprays, ribbon and charms from my stash. 


They are of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and Prisma pencils.


The inside does match the front.


We are very lucky to have two sponsors this week:

Letraset are offering a set of 6 Flexmarkers and a pack of Safmat 


and Angel Crafts are offering an embellishment kit


I do hope you will take the time to enter and also to have a look at the fabulous cards the girls have made this week for your inspiration.
Don't forget to enter you must use Letraset products, Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers, Neon markers or Aquamarkers.

Forever Rose - Hannah Lynn

Good afternoon everyone. Hope your weekend is going well. I thought I would try something a little different today with a dark card. Not sure if I got it right.
I have used one of Hannah Lynn's beautiful images from Crafts and Me, 'Forever Rose'.


Isn't she gorgeous. She looks so deep in thought.  She is straight cut and then I have added a SB romantic rectangle of one of the new Dlites. I actually remembered to get out my sewing machine for a change (usually I have the card made then remember I was going to stitch it ).
Backing paper is from the 'Once upon a time' stack. Flowers from WOC and Hobby House. Butterfly is a Cheery Lynn and ribbon and pearls from my stash.


She is totally coloured with promarkers and just for a change I will list the colours :)
skin = Oatmeal, Saffron, Vanilla, Pastel Pink and Antique pink
hair = Petrol Blue, Twilight, Polar Blue and Icicle
rose = Antique Pink, Cocktail Pink and Pink Mittens


I added glossy accents to the flower dome, her lips and eye and distressed her mount with a mixture of walnut stain and tattered rose.


The inside reflects the front.

Aliah - Hannah Lynn for Crafts and Me



Good morning everyone and welcome to my new followers, I really appreciate your support, and thank you all for the lovely comments you have been leaving.

Today's card is something new for me a fairly monochrome card. I bought this Hannah Lynn image at Crafts and Me a few weeks ago as I think she is gorgeous.


The backing papers are from Lucy Cromwell and I also embossed some Bazzill basic (not that a lot of it eventually shows). I added a Cottage Cutz doily, Whimsy corner, Cheery Lynn butterfly and leaves. Ribbon and buckle from Mei Flower. Flowers from WOC and pears and gems from my stash. 


She is coloured as always with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and I added purple glitter, Glamour Dust and Stickles. I also used a little distress ink around the edges.



The inside reflects the front.
