Things with wings at Crafts and Me

******Do you fancy a crafty get away? I am arranging one for October this year and there are still spaces click HERE for details******

It is time for another challenge over at the Crafts and Me challenge and this time is the digi teams turn but I could not resist this gorgeous new stamp any longer :D She is from the brand new release and called Golden guitar fairy.



I have coloured her with the following pro markers and flex markers:
Hair ; Gold, Canary, Lemon

Shorts; Cocoa, Cinnamon, sandstone
Wings;Burgundy, Amaranth Red, Lipstick Red
Outline; Pastel Beige
Guitar; Red gold (metallic marker), Burgundy, Amaranth Red, Lipstick Red, Umber, Henna, Cocoa

Then just for that touch of sparkle I have added some sakura stardust clear pen to her wings. For the back ground I have used something new to me a stampin' up stampin' around roller called music notes. The ink is also from Stampin' up and I have to say I got a whole load of colours so expect to see more of them. This one is soft suede and I have also used it for the distressing rond the edges. If there is anything from stampin' up you would like just drop me an email and I will order it for you and you will only need to pay £1 postage rather than the normal £4.95. Also at the moment if you order £45 worth or over you will get your choice of stamp set free from their sale-a-bration range :D The deal is only available till the 31st of march.
The gems are from my stash and the sentiment is from Crafty Emma's Store.

Hi everyone I have 2 creations for you today the first is a card and I have used the gorgeous stamp from the Crafts and Me Sara Burrier range called "The Leap" available HERE the I have then coloured with promarkers and added sparkle with sakura stardust pens. I have inked all the edges to give a more distressed look. I have added some ribbon (from Papermania), flowers (from Mulberry Crafts UK) and pins (from Crafty Emma's Store) to finish it off. The paper is an old one from Dovecrafts Charcoal Prints pack.

For my second creation I have made a bag charm using a big nappy pin :D For my main image I have used the fun Hannah Lynn "Alice Lost" image. I stamped her in Hydrangea stazon (you can get different colours of Stazon HERE) Then used my heat gun to shrink it down and put it on an eye pin with some beads before attaching it to the pin. I think I will be making some more of these it is a great way to use up odd beads and charms.
