Dreams and Wishes

Good Morning Everyone
It's time for another challenge at As You Like It. This fortnight our theme is...

Digi or Stamped

(Don't forget to tell us why)

I've used an old rubber stamp -  'Dreams and Wishes' from Sugar Nellie for today's card.

I love both digital and rubber stamps but when push comes to shove I do prefer a rubber stamp. It's so good to be able to do a bit of crafting with out putting the computer on!

This is an older stamp from Sugar Nellie - I'm always happy to stamp up a fairy! I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings. I've added my favourite mushroom border die from CC designs, and Hunkydory Moonstone flowers. The papers are from Anna Marie Designs.

Wish Upon a Star - Sugar Nellie

Good Morning Everyone,
It's been hectic yet again. Most of you know that I went back to work full time, and as I was feeling a bit more tired Mr Mojo did a bunk! Then last week, Emma managed to break her foot in PE at school, which meant a 6 hour visit to A and E! She has a foot brace and crutches and the Doctors have said everything should heal fine. I just have one very frustrated 12 year old who can't do cricket practice! 

I have had this stamp coloured for a while, I just hadn't done anything with it....so eventually here it is! It's an old image from sugar Nellie called 'Wish Upon a Star'.

I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings. The background paper id from Lili of the Valley. I've used a die namics picket fence die and a spellbinders snowflake die.

Passion for Promarkers - Add Sparkle
