Snow and Ice

Unfortunately, or some may say fortunately here in the South of England we have had no snow (sad face) this year.

However to indulge my love of the cold weather I decided to make a card using the
Aurora Wings Digital stamp - the Ice Queen.

I wanted a mixed media type feel so once I had printed it onto card I used spray inks in a shimmering blue. I then coloured the image using Promarkers and added glitter glue to highlight areas. The sequins, beads,shaved ice and glitter I added at the end to give the suggestion of falling ice.

I am quite pleased with the finished result.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Simply Papercraft - Anything Goes

Dream Factory - The Ice Queen

Boo!

Did I scare you?! With Halloween only a couple of weeks away, I thought I would get into the SPIRIT (LOL) with a spooky tag.

I made this tag initially with the challenge at Our Creative Corner in mind which is to create a Halloween tag with texture. I covered the tag in black tissue paper and then dry brushed it with silver acrylic paint. The Spiders web and spider was diecut with my Cricut machine. I then stamped and cut out the bat. The vial is filled with silver glitter and I added a vintage label. Lastly to hang the tag I created a chain from jump rings.

Look out for more spooky projects coming soon!

Challenges I am entering:

The Grape Fairy

Better late than never this is my entry for Try It On Tuesday which is fairies. I made this card using a Bravura stamp. I stamped and coloured the image with Promarkers, then highlighted the grapes with glossy accents. The wings I highlighted with Stickles and other areas of the card with a gold pen. Simple, but I think quite stunning.

Autumn Fairy

Well you know Autumn is here when the heating comes on in the morning! Its one of my favourite times of the year, so I made a card based on that theme. I used a digi stamp by Michelle Perkett, which is part of a Four Seasons set. The background is from a My Craft Studio CD. I used Promarkers to colour the stamp and then glittered the background. The foliage is from My Craft Studio Flower Expert. There are quite a few challenges this week with this them also so these are the Challenges I am entering :
