It's a very special day here in Fantasy world as when I logged on this morning I realised my followers had passed the 1,000 mark, so welcome to my new followers and a great big thank you to each and every one of you, old and new.
Now a quick heads up that we are having a Blog Hop at Stampalot Challenge on 1st January, a perfect start to the New Year and a bit of activity to dust off all those overindulgence cobwebs. As you would expect, we have some great prizes lined up and hope you will all join in the fun. Please grab the logo above to help us spread the word. And there is still plenty of time to enter this months challenge 'Travel the World'.
My first share at the top of this post is another one using Sweet Pea Fairy of the Night which I stamped onto a doily circle cut with a Magnolia die, then did some paper piecing for her dress and crystal ball and coloured her hair and skin with Copics. The DP is from stash and I cut the easel card on the Cricut welding the circles on the DS. I have no idea the make of the sentiments, they are some unmounted ones I came across the other day, still unused but minus the packaging. I added gems, flowers, stickles and glitter to embellish. This card is for the following challenges:
OSAAT - Anything goes
Totally Papercrafts - Paper piecing
Paper Sundaes - Anything but square or rectangle
Bunny Zoe - Sparkle and Shine
And some quick and easy cards were the order of the day with these ones which are a couple from a collection I made using Penny Black 3880K Fantasy which I simply stamped with versafine back and embossed with detail clear. The back panels are embossed through the Cuttlebug, a Nestie label threaded with ribbon, mirri card mats and stickles to match. These cards are for the following challenges:
Crafty Pad - Embossing (I used both dry and heat)
Tip Top Tuesday - Christmas inspired

Gorgeous cards Brenda. I love the clean and simple look of the tree cards.
Thank for your help about the mini Magnolias. I might look at Magnolia themselves. I'm just not too keen on the shipping prices though. Aren't I a skinflint!!!!

Hi Brenda, sorry not to have been around recently. I've just had a quick browse at the gorgeous cards I've missed already. The fairy one here is beautiful and the tree ones are so elegant. I'm trying to make quick cards just now but stopped to try and do some DT work and have a quick browse on my favourite blogs. I couldn't believe it when I saw the tree cards - I've got a very similar Hobby Art stamp on my table waiting to be used and I have the PB one in my Christmas stamp drawer!
Take care,
Kat
BTW I've got some pics of my pups that I need to upload. My daughter's been asking me to email some to her.
Hi Brenda, lovely easel card, I love the different shapes you use in your cards. The quick and easy Christmas cards are very elegant and lovely colours! Take care - Linda x
