A Peek at Fairyland

Last week I treated myself to a new set of stamps from Crafters Companion as demonstrated on Hochanda by the fabulous Sheena Douglass.

And this is the result...

To create the card I first applied Distress Crayons onto Watercolour card, adding water to create a wash. I then overstamped the toadstools and foliage. I used Distress Ink and water to colour in. I also applied a wash of Clear Sparkle Pen to add a touch of magic. Finally added some white pen highlights.

I wonder who lives in those toadstools?!

Challenges I am entering :

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Anything Goes

The Fairy and the Unicorn - Anything Goes (optional fairies)

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Magical Fairy Garden

DIY Postcard Swap

Well what glorious weather we have in the South of England today. Apparently we are heading for a heatwave!

I've just been to the post office to post my 10 postcards as part of iHanna's DIY Postcard Swap. It was the first one I have taken part in and its been great fun. I even got my Gelli Plate out which I have had for nearly a year and not used!!

Here are some of the post cards I will be sending out

Made using my first ever Gelli print!

Stamps, stencil and Distress Ink.
