Little girl on the moon

Hello crafty friends and happy July!!! I'm here with the first inspirational project for the July challenge of the Country View Challenges. Our theme was chosen by the lovely Sue: Do more of what makes you happy.

For my first card, I chose Tim Holtz products, his dies, inks, stamp and baseboard doll. Because these are my favourites. I have nearly 400 Tim Holtz related blogposts so I think it's enough proof that these are the things that make me happy.

For making this card, I had an inspirational project, one of my earlier card, a crazy dog on the moon. But later I have seen a quite similar project of the talented Emma Williams. You have to see that too because it's so beautiful (link is here). Her works always inspire me. 

To begin, I cut a rectangle panel and I blended all the blue Distress Oxide inks that I have (it means all) onto the surface. I started with the darker colours and continued with the lighter colours. Then I spattered my panel with Brushed Pewter Spray Stain.

For the text, I used the Tiny Text stamp set (CMS394) and Ranger silver embossing powder.

For the stars and moon, I used two Sizzix dies, the Crescent Moon&Stars Bigz die and the Swirling Stars Thinlits die. 

Then I used two Idea-Ology pieces. One from the Baseboard Dolls and the other from the Transparent Wings. I coloured both with Distress embossing glazes (Tattered Rose, Fossilized Amber).

So if you have a project with things you love, please don't hesitate to join our July challenge where you can win a £20 voucher. I think this is a real anything goes challenge.

Card with fairy godmother

I'm here again with a brief  post and with a birthday card that I made for the Art Impressions challenge: Winged things. 

I really love this fairy godmother image! This is really fun!

I hope you like it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Penny Black Pine Sprite

I nearly missed the Penny Black challenge at the Penny Black and More blog where the theme is: Close to nature. But in the very last minute I made this card with this cute forest fairy.

And what is interesting that I'm learning to colour with Copic Sketch marker, so this time I coloured the image with Copic markers.

Tag with PaperArtsy Zinski stamp ZA13

For this tag, I got the inspiration from one of my cards for what I already used this creature from the Zinski stamp set (ZA13). 

I really love this girl/creature. Frankly, I had no idea what it is actually but I've always thought that this could be a fairy. So this time I gave her wings as well.

I cut out a tag from a heavy cardstock (more than 300g). I painted pink both sides (DecoArt Poodleskirt Pink). Then I added one layer of Rayher-DecoArt Pearl Shimmer. Here, in my pictures, you can see the colours before and after the shimmer was applied.

I stamped the circles from another PaperArtsy stamp set (Emma Godfrey EEG24) with Ranger Archival Watering Can ink.

I also added Ranger Perfect Pearls (Biscotti) to the wings to make it more fairy wings :-)

And because none of my pictures give back the shine of the pink background, I took some more photos and luckily in one of them you can see some shimmer on the surface.

But anyway, I put half pearls on my tag, so it fits perfectly the Pearlescent challenge over at the PaperArtsy blog :-D

With my tag, I also would like to join the October TIMI challenge of the Craft Stamper blog.
