Faery Ink Little Princess

I have another cute image to share with you all today for Faery Ink. This cutie is called Little Princess and is one of Amanda's Earth Day themed images. As I'm not overly confident as even attempting to colour the planet in different colours, I went with a bright orange and blue combo.

I added the image to a page in my quotes journal with this great quote I found on Pinterest. Looking at it now thought I wish I had used different colours for it - that's a lot of orange! LOL

Alicia Bel's Smug Little Mermaid

Good evening everyone! I thought I would make another card for the team challenge over at Alicia's Bel's Facebook group today using some of the clay pieces I have moulded. I bought some coloured air dry clay from Amazon in one of those lightning deals, not really expecting it to be very good as it was fairly cheap, but it's not bad at all and dried really well and kept the shape and imprint of the moulds too.

I used the adorable Smug Little Mermaid for this card and made a cute scene with the clay pieces after cutting her and the crab out and using my distress oxide inks for my a background. I think I need more of these to be honest as 2 colours don't really give enough depth!

Good Morning and welcome to my inspiration post for Faery Ink today! I have used the gorgeous Demera Spring Breeze Fae, which was the One Day Fae Giveaway for last month. If you didn't manage to get her for free, you will be able to buy her here in the store shortly.

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Inspiration Post - Fialka

Good morning and welcome to my inspiration post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps. This week I have used the gorgeous Polka Dot Pals Fiakla for my card and coloured her with my Copics. I actually forgot to use the add on faces so attempted to follow Barbara's cheeks and nose tutorial for creating the nose and mouth.

I will admit the first attempt was awful, so I re-did just her face after botching it over and over, cut it out and glued it on the top of this one. I had coloured the hair and everything else to see if it would make the original face better, but it didn't :(  I didn't have E30 as it has run out and I haven't bought the reinker for it yet, so used YR30 which was the closest on my hex chart and I think it made the skin too yellowy. But this is how you learn I guess!

I definitely need some practice on doing this as I just couldn't get it to look right! The nose is still a bit wonky!

Ching-Chou Kuik Challenge Favourite Colours

Good Morning and welcome to my post for the new challenge from the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This month or challenge is for you to use your favourite colours. I have lots of colours I love, but tend to use lots of pink and purple in my cards, so I went for a pink, purple and grey combo using the gorgeous Misty Moon Grayscale image.

I bought a silver frame for this A4 sized colouring which goes really well with it. I will admit it took me hours to do especially all the sky using little dots, but I love how it came out! This one is going on my bedroom wall once I find some nails!

Faery Ink Inspiration Post - Top Of The World Maggie

Good afternoon and welcome to my inspiration post for Faery Ink for today. This year on April 22nd it is Earth Day and Amanda asked me to use this gorgeous digi stamp, Top of the World Maggie, to help celebrate it and bring awareness to its cause, which this year focuses on plastic use reduction.

Anyway here's Maggie....I loved this image and she was such fun to colour! I went with a golden blonde hair combo as I wanted her to have a bit of sunlight in her as she is on top of the world!

I had to find a sentiment for her and managed to add several short ones together to create this one and I think it really fits this image!
