Cutie Pie Challenge Blog – Bring on the Bling! (Don’t mind if I do!)

Hello, hope you and yours are well?

Now who doesn’t love a bit of blingage? I’m a bit of a magpie myself and love anything glittery and shiny! Diamonds being a particular favourite of course!! J

So, to satisfy the gem addict in all of us the new challenge over at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog this fortnight is Bring on the Bling! 

This time we are sponsored by Pink Gem Designs
We were very fortunate to be able to pick an image from their amazing range to work with and I chose the gorgeous Fairy Grace available here
I was asked by a colleague to make a card for her fairy mad, pink obsessed, glitter fanatic 6 year old daughter so I thought Fairy Grace was the perfect image.  Now this sweet little lady is sitting crossed legged and as all good fairy aficionados know fairies tend to sit on toadstools. Problem! No toadstool stamps! Cue hopeless hand drawing! Oh ‘eck! Hopefully I remembered to rub out all the pencil lines!

I embossed the Centura Pearl background then inked randomly (I am a bit random) with Distress Inks.  I used one of my all time fav colour combos, pink & blue, but the pink is a lot brighter IRL. The Bright Pink Spectrum Noir markers totally live up to their name!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Pink Gem Fairy Grace - sentiment (threw away the packaging so can't remember)
Dies/Punches:  Tonic ‘Nesting Ovals’ - X-Cut mini butterfly Palm Punch & corner rounder– SB Die D-Lites ‘Flower Border’- WRMK corner 'Chomper'
Paper/Card: Neenah Solar White - Centura Pearl – American crafts
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir Markers – ‘Peacock Feathers’ & ‘Picked Raspberry’ DI
Others: 'Crystal' Stickles – WOW 'Metallic Silver Sparkle' embossing powder - Gems from my stash
Hopeless Hand drawings: Toadstool!!

Pop over to the Cutie Pies blog to see the amazing shiny creations made by my teamies.

Thanks so much for looking!
See ya!

Colourful hugs
Jane xx
