Christmas Pixie

While searching for the dreaming pixie of course I found a whole sleuth of Pixies and what girl doesn't like pixies and fairies. After all we are all still little girls at heart. Heck I still watch Tinker Bell on the Disney Channel. Of course I have to with my granddaughters (at least that is what I tell people)!!!!!! Traditional coloring on this one but don't you just dig her long eye lashes. Oh to have lashes like that. I guess I will have to go buy myself some. Since I have already told you how much I love Pixies and Fairies I have entered her into the challenge at Creative Card Crew favorite things. I hope you like her as much as I do!!!!

Dreaming of a White Christmas

I was busy this weekend working on cards and fell in love with this pixie. I saw it on another blog and had to hunt it down. She just looks so sweet and made it into a Dreaming of a White Christmas card. She was just begging to be pastel so no red and green for her. I also am entering her in the Etsy Inspired Challenge. If you look at the picture of the item I picked the colors top side left are just what the doctor ordered. I hope you agree. I also entered her in a few other challenges, All Sorts Challenge Blog Christmas Song. Whimsy Stamp Challenge show your Christmas card. Papertake Weekly Challenge Christmas Crackers - show us your Christmas Cards. Ildi's Co's Creative Challenges Inspiration From A Christmas Song!

Thinking of you

Another challenge at Simon Says Challenge. This week it is a Thinking of You challenge. My card was colored with copics and glittered a bit for sparkle. I used a corner punch I had in my stash. Stitched a bit and a purple ribbon and ended up with a pretty simple yet meaningful card. I like to keep these on hand for those times when you just happen to need one.

A Digi Christmas Holly!!!

I am using another Mo's image which you can get here. I think she is beautiful!!!! I am entering two challenges with this one. The first is at Stamp with fun. The theme is Christmas. The second challenge is Cupcake Craft Challenges , the theme there is the use of a digi stamp. Using this lovely image is per say killing two birds with one stone. I colored her with chalks this time. I thought the softness was needed. I only used copics as highlights. The ruffles on her dress and poinsettia has glitter on it and the snow globe is glazed to appear like glass. The holly berries are liquid pearls and I also added some red dew drops on the corners and crystal beads in the center of the flower for some more sparkle. I really liked the way she turned out!!!

Glitter, Glitter, Sparkle Fairy Tabia

Another image from Mo. I love her images!!!!!! The challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday was Glitter Me Silly and the challenge at Creative Inspirations was sparkle. Well you can not do this image with out ton's of glitter to sparkle her up! Not that this was not difficult for me since I put glitter on almost everything!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love that sparkle. I colored her mostly with chalk this time, gave her that soft look, accented only with copics. A lot of glitter all over her wings, bubbles and stars, a few jewels on the corners and in the middle of the flower. a organza ribbon and a small flower and she was ready to make all your dreams come true. I have to keep her out of my granddaughters sight or she will be gone in a second.

Just You and Me

When I saw this wonderful image by Mo I just fell in love with it. I then saw the Etsy Inspired Challenge for this week and after looking at the different items to get inspired by I saw the sachets and the nostalgia of them just meshed and here is what I came up with. I asked my husband what sentiment should I put on it and he said after all of those years together "Just You and Me" was fitting so as a tribute to him, that is what it says. I could only hope we make it together that long!!!!! I colored the image with copics and chalk and glazed a few parts, the shoes and purse. Flower soft on the bouquet of flowers and the flowers on her hat. I didn't have a flower or ribbon to match so I also colored them with my copics. Martha Stewart double loops punch and this is what I ended up with. I hope you like it as much as I do.
