fairies in the Stamp Attic

Well, that was the plan!
 
It wasn't until I spoke to Wendy yesterday that I realised that the first two cards I 'd made using the fairyland stamp set didn't feature fairies at all!  Duh!!  But stay tuned, as fairies are on their way, I promise!!!

 
This ATC was made using the Radio Times, Adirondack Colour Wash in Stream and a Lake Mist acrylic dabber.  I printed the quote off the computer and stamped the nest on off-white card before cutting it out.  All materials, apart from the Radio Times ;), are available from the Stamp Attic!



I sketched this card design out last week and am really pleased with how it's come out.  EDIT: [The card is against a background of painted Radio Times paper to make the photo look a bit more interesting ;)] I didn't let my lack of nestabilities stop me making an oval with a scalloped border!  I printed an oval shape in Word and used it as a template then drew the scallops by hand with a white gel pen.  The background to the bird was made in the same way as I often do the backgrounds in my journals, and again features the Radio Times :) .   The background paper is a Daisy Bucket design called 'In the Meadow' and I used the swiss dots EF with my cuttlebug for the top section.

I love how vintagey these images are! Don't forget to watch out for the fairies...coming soon :)

i do love journaling


I love cutting and sticking.  I always have!  I used to have a tin of 'scraps' that I loved gluing into a scrapbook.  After adding some glimmer mist and Adirondack colour wash to this page I stamped some of Jennie's flower power images onto the Radio Times pages I'd used to cover the table.


The text looks great with random splatters of ink and paint on it.

a quick card


It was really quick as I'd already made those ATCs yesterday.  I needed a birthday card today so I grabbed one and made this with it.  Do you ever hold the card at a funny angle so you can glance at it, or leave it on the side so you can glance when you're passing?  I do this when I'm not quite sure of it.  Blogging helps too (although it's been sent now so it's too late!);  I think this needed punched fallen leaves around the bottom corner, not flowers!  Pleased with it though.
