Fairy Tale

Over at Rosie-D's this week they challenged us to make an item with a fairy tale theme. What better fairytale has been written (well Elf tale really) than the awesome "Lord of the Rings"?. OK it's for adults, but we have to have some fantasy in our lives sometimes. Using a couple of the images from the fantasy range from Tanda Stamps, I hope I have depicted Gandalf the Grey and Galadrial as recognisable. I apologise to the purists out there for giving Galadrial a crystal ball and not a bowl, but it was the nearest I had. She is in her little arbour of flowers ( mostly from Crafty Feelings). I stamped Gandalf in grey and coloured with promarkers, Galadrial is heat embossed in silver with just a touch of PM's for added colour. The trees have just a light dusting of glimmer mist for that magical touch. All mounted on pearlised green paper. Added some more rings round the edge just for good measure.





I am also entering this into Pear Tree Designs challenge as the request there is for flowers. There are just a few on here.

Butterflies

This Started off as a card for the Burtonesque dolls blog challenge and Haunted Design House with black flowers and skulls and beastly butterflies. This week has not gone quite to plan and going back to work after 6 weeks sick leave has left me more than a bit tired. Anyway, I missed the deadline for the dolls challenge. Nevermind. They have a corpse bride theme this week by the way.
I still have time for the Macabre Mondays of HDH. Also for Rosie-D's challenge of an easel card.
The Butterflies are a mixture of real and digi stamps. The digis I have added little red horns in place of the antenae and the real are feeding on any left over detris on the skulls. The flowers are a mixture of deep blood red, black and grey with little skulls stamped on the petals.
Paper is from a selection given to me so I have no idea on the origin I'm afraid. All put together on orange card stock. It was all coloured in using promarkers. Another for the Passion for Promarkers blog mega anniversay challenge
