Well folks - here we go again.......... only just taken the Christmas cards down and Bah! Humbug! has started up their challenges again!
The first one is Holly and Fairies and whilst I was clearing my table (!!!) I found this card that I had started last year and the white card had already been die cut using a Nellie Snellen frame die and mounted onto red card - so I thought that was a good place to start. I decoupaged all the layers of the die cut up using Pinflair glue gel and then stamped this image of a Christmas fairy praying from Lili of the Valley which I coloured in with Promarkers. The wings are made from Angelina Fibres although it doesn't show up very well in the photo. I used Stickles on the holly berries in her hair and used glue gel to add her to the top of the decoupaged die cuts. I then stamped a corner holly leaf image at each corner and added more Stickles to the berries. It's a very simple card but hopefully will ease me into crafting for next Christmas!! lol
Thanks for stopping by.
I like this one but as you say it does seem strange to start seasonal cards already. Quite lucky though that we had a few bits ready on our desks!!
