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 :

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

Autumn

Its very unseasonal weather here in the South of England. yesterday we reached 25c! Although Autumn mist was definetly evident this morning on the Downs as well as lots of pheasants!

I love this season and used the InkyDoodles Stamp set Woodland Walk to create this card.

I used Promarkers to colour them in and my new Spectrum Noir pencils I treated myself to! They really give great definition to a alcohol marker coloured image. The sky was created using chalk and torn paper to make the clouds.

I hope to be back later in the week with more Autumn makes.

Challenges I am entering with this card:

Autumn Twinchie

It may be Autumn but we are expecting temperatures of 70F tomorrow here in the South! I think I have said before that Autumn is my favourite time of the year. I love the colours and the cooler days and evenings when you snuggle indoors with your crafting!

I made this Twinchie for Show Us Your Twinchies Challenge which is Autumn and Autumn Colours. I used Distress Inks to colour a piece of gloss card. I then stamped and embossed a Kaisercraft Toadstool stamp with Ebony WOW! Embossing Powder. I used my new bargain Distress Pens (courtesy of ebay!) and my mica paints to colour.

Have a great weekend!
