A Fairy Bluebell Birthday

Well it's been a very long time since I posted. A mixture of physical health problems and emotional wobbliness has meant I've hardly done any crafting at all this year. Mojo seems to be on a very extended break. I know it will come back, but I do miss that itch to create. The recent beautiful display of bluebells in my garden encouraged me to get my pens out and colour lovely Bluebell Fairy

I'm really lucky as my Mum is a keen gardener so I'm surrounded by a beautiful garden. This year we had bluebells in the traditional blue, but also in white & purple. Really pretty especially with the yellow pop of cowslip too. The joys of an English Country Garden.

I decided to stick with the classic blue for Fairy Bluebell.

Here's a few close ups.

A little quirky thing but I love the effect of her wing popping over the edge of the card.

Here's a close up of her bluebell skirt. I added a bit of glow from her lantern.

I used Happy Script Word and Birthday Brush Script Word chippies from Make it Crafty and coloured them with a few layers of Platinum Brilliance Ink pad to give a good shine.

A final bit of shimmer with some Clear Wink of Stella on her wings and I was finished.

Well what fairy is complete without a little shimmer & shine?

I do hope you like her & I hope it won't be nearly as long until I'm sharing creations with you again x

Lets Go Dotty! Challenge with Tiddly Inks Stamps

It's challenge time over at Tiddly Inks Challenge and the theme is Lets Go Dotty..... I'm worried I may have taken the title a little too seriously! Sooooo many dots! I decided to use Eat More Cake as I knew she'd look super cute in polka dots.

I'm still in a major crafting funk at the moment due to health etc so it was nice to get my pens out and have a play.  I added all the dottyness with my Sakura Glaze White Gel Pen. It goes on clear, but then gives really bright white spots once it dries. A magic that Zoe from Make it Crafty introduced me to. Here's her close up.

I used some chipboard from Make it Crafty for the sentiment and continued the dottyness on those. I told you I got a bit carried away with dots!
