Here's this weeks Christmas card using a Holly Fairy stamp from Crafters Companion.
The photo has somehow really faded the bps which are from Season's Greetings CD by Artyicious and Raspberry Road designs and are much richer IRL. The image is coloured with promarkers with sakura stardust highlights on his wings and the holly berries. To finish off I added some ribbon, a little bell and a magnolia sentiment.
I'm entering this little chap in the following challenges:
Bah Humbug: Use a charm (having tidied my craft room I can't find my charms anywhere so I hope my lttle bell counts)
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge: Make a start on Christmas
Lots to do: angels and fairies
Die cut dreams Christmas - Elves (I haven't got a single 'elf' stamp so I hope my little holly fairy will count)
Paper Sundaes: Christmas in August
CD Sunday: Jingle Bells
Thanks for looking,
Claire xx
This is a very cute fairy! What a great non-traditional Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteHello Claire
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card, it's just gorgeous. I love the backing papers and image. The papers give your card a Vintage feel to it. Of course your little bell counts it's the perfect finish to a beautiful card.
