Dandelion Fairy

A gorgeous image purchased from Craftsuprint and designed by Lee Jacobs.  I think this wee fairy is so sweet

Have done 3 different sizes so far



Simple card from the Bit Bag

One of the great things about having crafting friends is when you share leftovers lol.  My friend Betty H brought a carrier bag of bits round the other week and this is one of the cards I made.  The bottom mat was one I did with the textile CB embossing folder and the gems and card candy are what I always have to hand.
The tiny gems on the butterfly are nail gems - bought in bulk on Ebay - thanks to Jacqui Q from JS forum for telling us all about them.  They just are spot on for so many things :)
The actual image is like a little tile - it has a foamy type backing.

Venetian Masks

I think that these can be SOOOOOOOOOOO dramatic and was delighted when I found a GSD cutting file for the Craft Robo to purchase on Craftsuprint, designed by Clive Couter

Here are the first two I have made up into cards

They cry out to be 'blinged'

Celtic Style

One of my many happy visits to Kanban resulted in getting a bundle of these card blanks - I was drawn to the Celtic style dragon embossed in gold on the fold.   They really need something with the correct style so finally I thoguht of Celtic Gods and Godesses, so good old GOOGLE did the job.  This image is called Elf Wood .

I matted and layered some 'bits' from a bag of things a friend brought me and printed off the image 3 times, decoupaging it how I wanted - this is how I learnt - over 21 years ago now at night school back in Linlithgow.  The peel off corners are from some bought in Bruges.   When I had finished cutting out the images I used embossing powder for the hair and the 'halo'  I am fairly pleased with the result.  The finishing touches are the tiny gems uses as the headband and the pendant.  .

Now done an insert - with Celtic peel offs

and an image of a waterfall which I felt was in keeping with the front

Welcome

Finally got round to creating a blog for my crafty creations!
