Fairytales!

Hello blogworld

Firstly I wanted to say thank you for all the lovely comments you left on my snowy pictures!  I'm glad to know that I'm not entirely biased and other people think Emily is a bit on the cute side ;-)

Also yes we do have a bit of a large garden - all told our land runs to 3/4 of an acre, large garden for non-gardeners, eh!!

And so onto business - it feels like it's been ages since I did a Divas by Design DT card, but here I am with my card for the new challenge.  Which explains the post title - the challenge theme this week is 'Fairytales', now all say ahhhh!  Who doesn't like imagining that life as a fairytale princess would be lovely - and there  doesn't even have to be pink at all either on the image or card - take mine, not an ounce of pink in sight!!

Our sponsor this week is:

with a fab prize on offer for one lucky person.

So onto my card:

The arty farty:

Close up of glitter on her crown and wings:

 I used:

Stamp:
Kraftin Kimmie - Swan Princess
coloured with my Promarkers

Papers:
First Edition - Love Letters

Anything else?
Gems, ribbon and heart from my stuff
Glamour Dust for crown and wings
Craftwork Cards - sentiment

Boy I sweated over this colouring, really, really tried hard with all the folds on her dress, I'm not sure it worked but on the whole I think I'm improving!

I'm really looking forward to this challenge seeing all variations there can be on the theme - my Teamies cards aren't half bad either!!!

Cheerio
Sarah

Your colouring is fabulous on this Sarah, it doesn't come natural to me and I work so hard on my colouring too, I've just started adding a bit of shade with pencils on top of markers to get a bit more depth.
Love your image too KK are really cute

Your pleats look fantastic. Loving the colours you've used. And that blingy thingy in the corner is gorgeous. Really enjoyed hearing from you today. You made me smile. Have a great weekend. X

I think it looks perfect but keep in mind I am hopeless at shading so I drool over seeing shadows and highlights on others work!
Looks great!
