Fab ‘n’ Funky #437

Okay, so I'm no good at time keeping when I'm not working - it seems to give you a much better sense of where you are in the day and so this week I've been having a week off work and time really seems to have run away with me, I'm so sorry, I'm really late posting my make for the Fab 'n' Funky Challenge, which this week is vehicles.


I made this card using the Sara Signature range Parisian, which I LOVE almost as much as my all time favourite which is Shabby Chic, they are very similar in style.  This girl on the bicycle is just fab, I love the stamp of the eiffel tower in the background, the paper, well, just everything.  This isn't the sort of card I normally make, but perhaps I should!

Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you all make of our theme this week.

Fab 'n' Funky #435

Hi all, well here we are, another week and another challenge, this time it's Fantasy: fairies, dragons, mermaids.

Well, my original thoughts were to use the fabulous new Pink Ink stamp I bought at the Craft4Crafters show at Exeter in February, however, as you will see, I only got to the point of stamping and colouring and have not yet turned this into a card.

I wracked my brain and remembered a card I made a little while ago while I was playing with inky backgrounds, which absolutely fits the bill!


The background was created using harmony inks, then the Sara Signature Enchanted Forest Droplets stencil over the top and versafine ink through, some sparkle medium in Amethyst over the top and voila! background. The fairy and wording is also from Sara Signature Enchanted Forest range, the border is from the Parisian collection, and further sparkle (on the fairy wings, wording and border) is added with Starlights paint in Heather.

I really love this card and can't believe I hadn't shared it before now, well, now I have!  I hope you like it as much I do, and can't wait to see what you all come up with for our latest challenge.
