Last post as Guest Designer for Quirky Craft Challenges

Hi All!!!

It's time for a reminder post for the Quirky Craft Challenge #12  - It's a Quirky Fairy World (Recipe Challenge)

I have thoroughly enjoyed being a Guest Designer for the last four challenges at Quirky Craft Challenges!  I will miss it!  Thanks for the fantastic opportunity!

I chose Sleeping Fairy Dreama as my final fairy image!  She has been spreading her fairy dust all night and she is taking a well-deserved nap in the warm sunshine, under the Happy Sun.

These awesome digital images are from our wonderful sponsor, Crackerbox Palace!  I designed the scene and printed in on colored cardstock.  Then, I printed the images on Xpress paper.  Dreama and Happy Sun were colored with Copics and for Dreama's wings I used G00 and covered them with Crystal Stickles.  The sentiment was printed using the free font, The Blue Cabin.

I used Sun, Sentiment, and Sparkles from the Fairy Ring to complete my card!  We invite you to leave the real world and invent you own Fairy World. Build up your own enchanted world, using at least three of the following items from the fairy ring (and a fairy of course). We want to know your dreams!

I hope you enjoy my card!  Don't forget to enter in the Quirky Crafts Challenge #12-Fairies-It's a Quirky Fairy World...you still have time!  The challenge runs until midday on Saturday, June 21st - UK time or 6:00 am CDT.

Quiry Crafts Guest Designer -Springy Spring Sheep

Hi All!

This is my second post as Guest Designer for Quirky Crafts and a reminder to enter the Quirky Crafts Challenge #9 - Something beginning with S!  You have until midday on Saturday, May 9th - UK time or 6:00 am CDT.

 

I just love the Springy Sheep image from Bugaboo's Scene it - Happy Spring to Ewe.  I printed the Springy Sheep image on X-Press paper and colored them with Copics.  The flowers, bumblebee and butterfly where highlighted with a Clear Glitter Spica pen.  It's difficult to photograph the cool Shimmer effect! The patterned paper is Daphane's Closet - Petite from Lawn Fawn.   I added a ribbon and a frog eyelet from Eyelet Outlet since frogs are very Springy in Spring.  The creek near my house is full of Springy Spring Frogs who are Serenading me every night.  I love it!  The Springy Sheep are enjoying, or at least I think so, their Springtime fun.  I hope you are enjoying your Spring!


Remember to enter your project for Quirky Crafts Challenge #9 - Something beginning with S by midday on Saturday, May 9th - UK time or 6:00 am CDT.

The prizes you could win are:

Welcome All!

This is my first post of a two month stint as Guest Designer for Quirky Crafts Challenges!  

Challenge #9 is Starts with "S"  My card is full of a lot of "S"!

Stella is full of Sunshine and Snark!  Stella, along with her dogs (from left to right) Stenton, Stewart, and Steffi are having a Sunshiny day...or are they?  Well, anyone who's anyone knows Stella and Stella is no Slouch!  She won't let you get away with S@*#...unless it's her dog's S@*#!  Obviously Someone did Something to send Stella in to a Stellar S@*# fit!  I hope it wasn't you!!! 

I love everything Stella, especially her Snarkiness!  Stella Tidbits - Ray of Sunshine is from Bugaboo, our generous sponsor for this challenge! She was printed on Xpress Paper, colored with Copics, and fussy cut.  I used Tim Holtz's Rays Layering Stencil and inked it with Mustard Seed Distress Ink to make the background.   A strip of green washi tape was added to the bottom.  The adorable Puppy brads are from Eyelet Outlet.

Thanks so much for visiting,
Karen
