Christmas Tree Fairy

I told you I was in Christmas card mode and this is my 3rd Christmas card in as many days. I'll be making a start on next years cards at this rate lol. Today's card features another gorgeous image from the Prairie Fairy, she is called 'Christmas Tree Fairy' and she comes with some beautiful christmas tree ornaments too.

I've coloured her with promarkers and tria markers, she is a real joy to colour with that beautiful dress. I've added loads of glamour dust to her wings and to make the bauble pop i've triple embossed it with clear EP and added a sprinkle of holographic ep to the final layer.

I made the bp using white card stamped with Stampers Anonymous snowflake stamps, embossed with clear holographic ep. It has a lovely shimmer but its a bit camera shy lol

I've also added a layer of vellum embossed with a cuttlebug script folder, pale pink and white feathers and lots of flowers (mainly from Wild Orchid Crafts) and all liberally glamour dusted. There are also a few wired pearls, a few dew drops, some seam binding ribbon, a little Christmas tree charm, stickles (and probably a few dog hairs too lol) thrown in to the mix.

Here's another pic to catch the detail

The sentiment is also from the Prairie Fairy. I've used smooth white card from Crafty Emma's store  and its wonderful stuff for blending with promarkers, love it!!

Another one for the Christmas box :-)

Hi there, I'm definitely in Christmas card mode at the minute lol, no wonder with the weather we've been having here in the UK. we've had torrential rain  today so it doesn't look as if summer is coming back yet. It may not be sunbathing weather but its perfect crafting weather and as I was the lucky winner of the first Prairie Fairy weekly gift certificate winner I have some gorgeous new images to colour :-). Pop over to the Prairie Fairy blog, here to join in the weekly candy

I'm pretty new to Praire Fairy images but I was blown away by the choice of designs, todays card features Gilly's Carolling, she's such a cute character i couldn't resist her. I've coloured Gillian with promarkers and cut out with nesties and then used tapestry stamps for the border. I drew round the nestie to create the shaped easel card and added a tapestry stamped mat on the bottom of the card. I used the sentiment that comes with Gilly to prop the easel up and added some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and a scrap of red organza ribbon.
