2nd day of new releases and colourful challenge at crafty sentiments
Good morning all! I hope you are well and happy and ready for day two of the new releases at Crafty Sentiments? Todays new image is so cute - she's called Lily Fairy and here's what I did with her:
I made the background using DI - chipped sapphire and dusty concorde and milled lavendar. I added the Crafty sentiments diecut and then added the image coloured with promarkers and cut with one of my bargain Go Kreate dies from the doncaster show. Then I added the LOTV sentiment and some spellbinders diecuts. Check out what some of the Guest Designers made of her on the craftysentimentsinspirationsInspirational blog.
There's also a new challenge starting over on the Crafty Sentiments Blog. Its all about being colourful. Here's what I did:
I used a stencil and some sparkle medium from Imagination Crafts - the sparkle medium colour is amethyst. The mermaids were stamped and coloured with promarkers then fussy cut. The rock is one of the accessories stamps from Crafty Sentiments too. The sentiment is from Sheena Douglass. Finally I added some sea shells.
I'd like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
OLLCB: ooh-la-la-creationschallengesInspired by a song: Under the Sea (from the little mermaid)
Lexi'slexiscreations: Sparkle and shine
Cutie piescutiepiechallenge: AG

Thanks for dropping by today - just wanted to let you know about my coffee morning - I thought it was going to be a disaster as two very supportive friends texted me an hour before to say they had dodgey tummies - but luckily the local Hornby ladies rallied round and we had a lovely morning and I managed to raise £67 towards my total - plus another £13 on a game I have going where you have to try and guess my race position to the nearest 500! The nearest gets a bottle of champagne. Here's a quick picture of the cakes and my girls before kick off!
Thanks for dropping by today and for your wonderful comments! I do enjoy reading them!
Big Hugs

ReplyDeleteGreat cards and yummy cakes today Rachel. Glad it turned out ok in the end. Well done for raising £67 plus your £18. I know how hard it is to raise money for charity. But as I say it all helps.
