And Yet Another Glittery Fairy Christmas Card

Hi! Here's another moon fairy card. For this one, I masked the moon and wings, and added the background with ink dusters, but I only coloured around the moon, rather than the whole card. I used promarkers for the moon and wings. I used a Wink of Stella pen to add sparkle to the moon, and Glamour Dust on the wings.

Glittery Fairy Christmas Card

Hi! I've made a few versions of the same card in different colours, and added some subtle embossed snowflakes to one of them, which I think is my favourite. I find it really hard to get my Christmas cards finished in time for Christmas, so making a few of the same card really helps to combat my poor organisational skills...

For this card, I masked the moon and wings, and added the background with ink dusters. I used promarkers to colour the moon and wings, and used a Wink of Stella pen to add sparkle.

Christmas Cat

Hi! Here's another Christmas card. It's only 4x4 inches and fairly quick to make with a simple sky and a couple of snow banks. I'm trying to come up with quicker designs so that my Christmas cards get made BEFORE Christmas. Mine are usually late, and are still being made during the Christmas holidays...

Christmas Moon Fairy

Hi! Here's a Christmas card I made with one of my favourite Lavinia stamps! I masked the moon and fairy wings, and then used ink dusters to create the sky. I used a watercolour brush to colour the moon and wings, and then add the shimmer to the wings with a Wink of Stella brush.

Paper Trees

Hi! I have been trying to make quick, smallish Christmas cards, because I'm always late with making my cards, and have to send them in the New Year :-s. Here are a couple of designs I've been trying out. They're just 4x4 inches.

These first one is made by folding a scalloped semi-circle to make the tree. I added 'baubles' with Nuvo Glitter Drops.

I used paper piecing with a digi stamp for this one, and used the same patterned paper as a frame.
 I added a bit of glitter with Nuvo Glitter Drops.

Another Snowflake Tree...

Hi! I made another card with the same stencil, but I clear embossed the snowflakes before adding the green ink, which has worked better - much brighter snowflakes!

Snowflake Tree

Hi! For this card, I used ink dusters over a stencil colour the tree, and then added snowflakes with white ink and embossed them with clear. The white ended up a little muddy, but I quite like the texture.
