C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 113 - Fairy Tales

This weeks challenge at C.R.A.F.T. is Fairy Tales and our fantastic sponsor this week is Glitterbabe.

 Prize - $10 gift certificate

As soon as I saw the theme for this weeks challenge I knew which image I was going to use I have had this little cutie printed off for a while now and just not got round to colouring her up. She is Kiss A Prince Tia from Some Odd Girl. As usual she is coloured with promarkers and I have used a sakura pen to give her crown some sparkle. The papers are more from the grab box I got from SJ Crafts, I have to say I loving the selection of papers that came in this box there are so many different designs styles and colours to choose from. The sentiment is a freebie from Tazza's blog which you can find here.

Make A Shaker Card at Incy Wincy

This weeks challenge at Incy Wincy is to make a shaker card and we have a fab sponsor for you this week.

Prize 3 images of winners choice.

I have used First Taste of Snow which you can find here (I've linked to Karens blog as her shop link doesn't seem to working as I'm writing this). I've coloured this littel cutie with my promarkers and dug out my snow writer for the snow. I've used a circular card bland to make this easel card by folding the front in half. For the shaker element I made a little circular box into which I've stuck the image, my shaker part is some small pearl beads in white cream, blue grey and pink.

The sentiment is a die cut snowflake which I've stamped a sentiment from Lilli of the Valley. This is mounted onto a circle of mirri card which I have embossed and finished with a couple of swirls cut from whiteglitter card.

The DP is from the free pad of Pink Petticoat papers that came in a magazine a while ago. The image is of course Lili of the Valley which was part of my prize from Karen for winning the last MSE challenge. I have coloured her with promarkers and added some stickles to her wings, pom poms and skirt. The flower is punched with a woodware punch.

Around the box I have used a border punch on some more of the DP and finished it off with some silver ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

The paper is another out of the fab grab box I got from SJ Crafts and the silver ric rac came from Crafty Ribbons.
