Sweet November Stamps Fae-bruary Week 4

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the final week the theme is Moon & Stars.

I'm not going to lie, this one threw me and I had decided that I wasn't going to do it but then I decided to give it a try, LOL! I'm not the most pleased with my background but I tried. LOL! I have a new paintbrush coming for splattering so maybe that will help in the future.

I pictured the sweet Fairwee Twirl fairies having a fun spring party dancing in the purple moon! 




Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Enchanted Spring Flowers

I am trying to work on using stencils more and also ink blending. One of the things I wanted to figure out was how to emboss a stencil in my Big Shot and voila' I did it! I ink blended over it and love how pretty it turned out! 


Once I had the embossed/inked panel I needed to add an image. I looked at my notes and realized I can enter one more time in the Sweet November Stamps FB group monthly challenge so I went that route.

I don't think I've ever used the Enchanted Spring Flowers stamp set or if I have, not much so I thought it would be fun to color up some of the flowers and fairies/butterflies. I left off a sentiment since I don't know exactly who I'm sending it to.




I think it just turned out so pretty! Yay! I'm looking forward to playing more with stencils and ink blending!!

Have a magical day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Just To Make You Smile

I found this sweet dragon, Sweetie from TLC Designs (I don't think they are in business any more)  in an envelope only partially colored so I had to correct that! I finished coloring him and got him on a card. I really like how this turned out with some beloved Basic Grey paper!!

Bring On The Happy

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 17~
I just got an order from Scrappy Boy Stamps and couldn't wait to color up the Cute Capybara stamp set! I think this card turned out so adorable and I love this capy's little turtle backpack. 




Have a happy day!! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
