Good morning all

Well I think spring is finally in the air and the days are a little warmer

and we even have Sunshine!!

And today we have a new challenge starting at

The Paper Shelter

 our theme is a very seasonal one

Easter

I used this lovely image that I've have for ages but never used 

I think it has a very vintage feel to it and I tried to reflect that in my card

the image is called My Sweet Mommy and is available HERE

I coloured the image to get a very soft feel with Spectrum Noir blendable pencils

as always we have a fabulous prize at TPS

This is what I did....

Sadly - it's the last ever challenge at Wags'n Whiskers

Hi all

I'm here to share my last ever card for

Wags'n'Whiskers Challenge

Sadly the blog is closing after this challenge

 but to go out with a smile we have a lovely challenge for you

the theme is 

Wings

I used the cute Fairy Angelica 

I love the fairies at Wags'n Whiskers

 - just the right amount of cute but also girly and pretty

I coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Watercolour pencils and sparkle pens

I also used my (now very favourite!) new Pretty Petals flowers and leafy flourish dies from the floral delight range that accidentally fell into my basket when I went shopping at Crafter's Companion last week, I've liked them for a while but in real life they are gorgeous - the embossing makes the most beautifully shaped flowers

There's lots of sparkle on this card (just as a fairy should be!) using the Sparkle pens and also the green glitter card that I came across in my stash no idea where I got it and I definitely won't be buying it again - a nightmare to work with but looks very pretty!! 

This is what I did....
