A little bit of fairy magic

Hello blogworld,

I really can't believe how quickly this year is going - can you believe that we are nearly at the end of March already??

It's also Tuesday and so a new challenge over at Papertake Weekly and I'm still GDT (still super excited about it as well!) this time it's 'Sketch time'!

So either use the sketch below or pick one from the archives - there is, as always, a fab prize on offer and wonderful DT inspiration.

The sketch:

I used:

Digi Stamp:

coloured with my Copics with DI for the background

Papers:

First Edition - Blank Canvas

Dies:

Memory Box 

Anything else?

Craftwork Cards - sentiment

For once I'm not going to complain about one of my cards - shock horror, on the whole I like it!!!

Right I've gotta run as my exercise class starts in 30mins (am scheduling this post) and I've gotta go get changed!

See y'all soon,

Sarah

A challenge, or two:

Crafting from the Heart: Challenge 11 Anything Goes / Spots or Stripes

Craft your passion challenges: Mother's Day / For the ladies (it's a female card - hope that is OK)

Digi Sketch Challenge: Fantasy

How long does it take to make one card?

In this house?  Nearly a week!  My goodness this has taken me ages, I've not had 5 minutes to myself until the evenings and then there are other things that need doing, plus we had visitors on Monday so lost the evening all together!

Anyway, hello blogland - hope you are keeping well.  Loving the summer that has finally arrived, we live near the coast in windy Lincolnshire and are generally a few degrees lower than inland so although it has been warm, it hasn't been unbearable.  Although I will say that overnight it has been uncomfortable to try and sleep.

Anyway, waffle over - onto card.  Now I warn you this isn't my usual standard of photo, if I get a chance I will take another tomorrow, as I've had to take a pic this evening and it's dull, raining and the light in the dining room isn't ideal.  It really doesn't show how gorgeous these papers are - they have a real shimmer to them. But anyhows, here you go:

Hmmm, that really is quite dark - I will deff try and get it changed tomorrow (if I get time!).  Still the details stand:
Pollycraft Stamp - From the Heart Winter Elves; Devotion.  Coloured with my Promarkers and highlighted with Stickles and Liquid Pearls.
Cut out then mounted onto a Cuttlebug embossed circle die-cut and then mounted with nesties.
The papers are all Craft House - Winter Wonderland.
Ribbon from my box.

There you go, I can't believe I've done a Christmas card in August - normally I refuse to start until October or November.  This is a first for me!

Best wishes all,
Sarah
