Fairy village

A little change from sketching and stuff so I can show you this little fairy village I made with Tando chipboard and images from Lisa's altered art.  The little houses are a cinch to put together and are sturdy enough to take a battering from whatever you throw at it.

I painted the houses with acrylic before doodling with sakura pens and adding little gems and I sprinkled my flaky glittery favourite from the £1 shop on the roofs.  I love the stuff... so cheap but soooo pretty.  The photos don't do it justice cos it really sparkles.

You can't have a fairy village without fairies so these cuties from Lisa's altered art were perfect once I added their wings.  They've got little pieces of wire behind to help them stand up.

Have a great day

Three for the price of one.....

challenges that is :D  I used my pretty lady from below to make a card that fits with The Daring Cardmakers Challenge which is ' Ice and Snow' and  The Shabby Tea Room Challenge  using 'stripes'. I'm also joining in with Gingersnap Creations Challenge for the first time with their 'Shades of Blue'.

I made a round card for a change which reminds me of  a snowball...lol  but also used cold colours to fit in with DCM theme.   There are lots of hand drawn stripes for TSTR theme... I am so into sketching and colouring right now so this was fun.

I drew lots of funny shaped flowers and leaves and coloured those and the striped border with my blue Sakura Glaze pen.  I love these pens because they give a gorgeous shiny embossed look.

Unfortunately this wasn't really picked up well with my photos but I can assure you that the blue bits really shine and glisten.  I used 3d pads under my flowers and the main image cos I love things to be 3d.  It's a long time since I spent this long on a card but it was really therapeutic.  Think I need to be sketching and colouring a lot more :D

Thanks for looking and don't forget you can get your own glam girlie free from the post below.
