Gothic Fairy with Delicious Doodles

It's that Friday and my turn (amid very talented ladies) to make something for the Delicious Doodles Challenges.
Well my first attempt, which I will show you at the bottom of this post, went slightly awry. I wrote down the wrong recipe, doohhhhhh. So had to go back to the craft table and make another project. Better late than never? You choose

So - take two - A recipe of 1 x Image, 2 x Different Embellishments, 3 x Designer Papers

A birthday card featuring that lovely Gothic fairy. The papers used include on of the luscious Rose and Thistle papers available in the shop as well. The other two are a digi from Crafty Chaos and one from the DCWV Immortal Love stack.

I used the sketch over at Stamp With Fun as the source of inspiration. I'm not used to using so many patterned papers. The sentiment stamped in white on brown and a spellbinders die used to cut out. The lace and skull from stash.
The fairy, I decided to get out my water colours for a change with some gorgeous translucent metallic copper  paint for her wings

My first attempt was just an ATC - meant as a quick stop gap before making this. I had printed the images at the same time.

See - wrong recipe - 2 papers and 3 embellishments lol
This is using the new Lotus Silhouette that is in the shop now.

OK guys and gals - your turn to get those papers and embellishments out and show us what you can do.

I would like to enter the card into the challenge at

Pale Red, Pale Red and More Pale Red

Well I didn't want to scare all my regulars, did I?

Those of you with an aversion to the fluffy side of crafting might want to avert their eyes.


I've gone and done it. Made a pink card!!! Ok - I teamed it with chocolate brown, but it is nearly all Pale Red - Pink!

I used a Rick St Dennis image called Valentyna Valentine. The new sweetheart in the Lovely Ladies range.

As you can see - not my normal style at all hahaha.
There're papers there from Basic Grey (with the brown swirls with pinks flowers), Authentique - Lovely collection - Both papers matted onto chocolate brown card, and a digi paper base from Bearly Mine Designs, who just happen to be sponsoring the challenge over at the Sparkle and Glitter with Rick this fortnight.
I have used the sketch over at Stamp with Fun for my inspiration.
We have a pink chiffon ribbon pleated onto a pale pink gold edged satin ribbon. Three pink rose buds gathered with some pink lace to form a doily under them. A home made pin with an ivory pearl, red heart and a clear sparkly bead. A spray of ivory pearls and in the top corner some more pearls ranging from chocolate brown through to pale pink.
The image was coloured with promarkers with just a touch here and there of glitter gel pens.

.I stamped in the top corner with a "real" stamp "All my Love". A set that came free with Card Making and Papercraft. Just the right size for this.

Normal service will be resumed within a day or so. I promise.
