Astrid the Fairy

Here is the card I made for the challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge 286 Anything Goes. One of our sponsors this week is Oddball Art, I used the image Astrid the Fairy. My son was after a thank you card for one of his lecturers. When he seen me colouring this image, he asked if I could make him something as she was an avid reader. I have to say he was a very demanding customer lol,

 I just love this image she is so cute, coloured her with pro markers and added glitter to her wings.
The dies are from Crafters Companion, Thank You on the inside and the front is the Snowflake Fancy Edge ables. I thought the fantasy look about it went with the fairy but added the flowers to tie it all together. Left it blank inside for the message to be wrote. 

Would like to enter my card into the following challenges

Happy Birthday 'Frisky Florence'

Morning, I just love Thursdays always my favourite day, no work. Also the start of a new challenge over at CRAFT, this week our challenge 371 is to follow a sketch.





  The image I have used is Frisky Florence from one of our sponsors D.R.S Designs. This image so much reminded me of my next door neighbour, in her eighties and always in the yard singing.

Coloured with Pro Markers, embossed using an embossing folder from Crafters Companion, then rubbed an ink pad over to highlight embossing. Made the Happy Birthday on the computer.
