Holly and/or Ivy over at Crafty Little Fairies

Hello

Before I show my card  I must beg the forgiveness of my fellow design team members over at Crafty Little Fairies for being so late with my DT card this month.  Life and work pressures have meant that I haven't had any time for crafting.  

I also have some sad news to share with you - this month will be our last ever challenge over at 

Crafty Little Fairies.  I would just like to say that it has been a privilege to be part of this wonderful design team.  Thank you very much for having me.  

The theme this month is Holly and/or Ivy and here is my take on the theme:

The image is 'Hats Off' by LOTV and I've coloured it with Copic pens and I've had a go at adding Frantage.

The papers are also from LOTV 'Twas the Night'.  The Ivy is a Marianne Die and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This month we have prizes on offer from the following fabulous sponsors...

The Ribbon Girl (prize = £10 voucher)

Marianne Design (prize = to be confirmed)

Delicious Doodles (prize = 4 digis of winner's choice)

Vintage / Shabby Chic at Crafty Little Fairies

Hi there

I'm back again, this time with my DT card for the new challenge starting over at Crafty Little Fairies.  This week the theme is:

Vintage/Shabby Chic

I was totally out of my comfort zone this week, and I have to warn you that my attempts at Vintage/Shabby Chic never seem to turn out any good, but here's my effort:

The image is "James - Decorations" from LOTV and has been coloured with Copic pens. 

The papers are "It's Christmas Time" by Maja Design and the sentiment is "Festive Baubles" by Craftwork Cards.  I used Vintage Photo around the edges (although you can't see that very well in the photo!). Embellishments include flowers from Wild Orchid Craft and lace, ribbon and pearls are from my craft box.
