Squashed Fairy!

-

This card using a wonderful digi image from Bugaboo, called Stella.  She has been printed onto Kraft card and then coloured something I have not really tried before, I struggled with the skin tones but think it has turned out ok.  To make the image stand out a bit I also used my white  gel pen and draw an outline around her.  The sentiment reads:

Many years ago the youth fairy flew into your bedroom, landed on your pillow and waving her wand said
 " This child shall forever be young"

inside it says

but you rolled over and squashed her and now look what's happened

Happy Birthday

I have entered this card into the following challenges

1 - Ribbon - the pink and white dotty ribbon across the middle
2 - Embossing Folders - Dotty Cuttlebug Folder and Swirls and Stars Sizzix folder
3 - Die Cuts - Spellbinder Curved Rectangles two different sizes for mats, spellbinders mega ovals for the sentiment - which I then trimmed to make look like a label.

Thanks for looking

I love dear old Stella. I've never seen that sentiment and will have to file it away...too funny. I think you did a grand job printing out on Kraft paper. I've not challenged myself to do it...at some point I will need to take the plunge. Again...great card and also love the white outline around her.

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
