Precious Little One...

Lucky me! I was chosen for the Guest Designer spot at Crafts 4 Eternity, for the month of September, and here is my very first card.

This is the lovely sketch for this week's challenge, and the theme (lucky me!) is Angels and Fairies. It is always a treat to make girlie cards. You have until next Friday to enter your card in the challenge, so be sure to give it a go.

The image is Wish Pickle from Bella Digi Studio, which I have coloured with Prismas and odorless mineral spirits. Stickles have then been added to the wings, to add some fairy sparkle!

The paper is all from my never-ending stash, and all layers have been sponged with blue ink. I have used my embossing folder to create the blue layer, and my MS punch to create the lace edging. Both the image and the sentiment have been cut with my Nestibilities dies. Then, with just a few brads and tiny gem flowers, my card is complete.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
One Stitch At A time - Girlie or Colour Scheme
Scrap It With a Song - Isn't She Lovely
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Let's Get Digital
A Crafty Little Place - Anything Goes
Crafts and Me - Gems and Sparkle
Daisy Doodles - Anything Goes

Wish Pickle

This little image was provided as a freebie for Bella Studio's First Digi Challenge! Water colours and ink were used for painting the image, and stickles were used to accentuate the wings and flowers. Embellishments were made using my Silouette cutting machine, then inked or coloured with more glitter. The flower petals were punched to give them a different look, and finally a shimmery ribbon was added and tied into a bow. The background uses a vellum print that I have had around for ages...

This was also entered into these challenges:
