I'm so loving these Morgan Fitzsimons Fairies - had a real colouring fest this week!

Hi all

I had several special birthday cards to make this week and couldn't decide what to do

I know I'm talking to those who know here -when I say sometimes it just doesn't happen!!

I have lost a whole set of stamps that I had in mind to use so was totally clueless!

Then I remembered I had a pile of fairies I had stamped out but not coloured

and they totally fit the bill - I'm sharing the first one here

I made this one for my daughter's birthday - so it's a very special card for me

This is Morgan Fitzsimons Erin from the Flights of Fantasy range at Crafter's Companion

I just love her

and what a dream to colour

She is coloured with Spectrum Noir blendable pencils and Sparkle Pens

there is actually quite a bit of sparkle but it was hard to get both the colour and the sparkle together - so I went for the colour option!

This is what I did

Good morning all

and we even have Sunshine!!

And today we have a new challenge starting at

Easter

I used this lovely image that I've have for ages but never used 

I think it has a very vintage feel to it and I tried to reflect that in my card

the image is called My Sweet Mommy and is available HERE

I coloured the image to get a very soft feel with Spectrum Noir blendable pencils

as always we have a fabulous prize at TPS

This is what I did....
