Hi everyone on a nice cold Monday morning. This is my first ever commission and it came about after my last wordbook that I made for no 2 Dragon daughter. I took it into work to show some of my colleagues and someone said they would love one for their daughter - and here it is.
I have used My Craft Studio to get the letters sorted out on the background paper which also came from one of their CDs Walk into Wonderland. I have used the Fairy Friends Stamps from Pink Cat Studio for all the images and most of the sentiments.
The animals are coloured in using watercolour pencils and I have glittered their wings using Glitz it Sparkles. I also used my Quickie glue pen around the letters to add crystal glitter to the edges.
I have also used a lot of punched flowers and put brads in the centres - mainly Papermania ones I think. On this sentiment above I shaded the edges with my chalks - purple and pink.
I have also used gems in the centres on this letter. The rabbit is on a scallop punched shape as was the owl and the sentiment is from a Crafters Companion CD Rom - Boys and Girls. I have mounted it on glitter card. The rabbit is on glitter card too.
Finally I had to make the box and here it is -
I am also entering this card in the following challenges :-
My Time to Craft - So many scallops,
Creative Card Crew - Ribbons and gems,
Flutterby Wednesday - Butterflies or fairies,
Allsorts Challenge Blog - Bring out your Bling,
Sophisticat Challenges - Wings and
One Stop Craft Challenge - A childs card (mine loved hers!)
Please let me know what you think, I really do love looking through all my comments. Also if some of you have had trouble getting onto my blog it should now be sorted - I had a virus from my count down to Christmas blinkie!!!
Hugs
