Birthday Cake

It is time for the new challenge at Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.  I hope you will play along.

I used Baked You a Cake from Polkadoodles for my project.  I had some technical difficulties and had to fussy cut her by hand.  But it all worked out in the end.  The background paper is from Nitwit Collections' Happy Bornday.  The sentiment is simply one of the word strips cut from a left over scrap

You have a chance to win a gift certificate for £6.75 to use in the shop.  There are so many incredible images, I know you will find one or two...or ten to put on your list!  Click the badge below to check it all out.

Faery Spring

Hello MoonFlower fans!  Thanks for stopping by today.  I have a little inspiration for you using Tumbelina Faery.  She is currently a freebie in the MoonFlower Facebook group.  If you haven't joined us there, you really should!

I colored Tumbelina Faery with Copic markers and used the Silhouette Cameo to cut her out.  She was just a bit too large for my smaller die, so the Cameo allowed me to use the out of the box technique for her wings.  I used clear Wink of Stella on her wings so they are super sparkly.  I created the card by folding my card stock in half and laying my die so that it stuck out over the folded edge.  It is a great way to use any die to create a shaped card.

While you can't find Tumbelina Faery in the shop, you can find all of Andreia's images on sale for 50% off!  She is moving to Etsy and she is having a moving sale on the My Digital Goods site.  Go fill your cart and then join on on Facebook to show off all of your lovely creations.

In the Pink has a pearls challenge (in pink of course!).  Tumbelina Faery is going to look at all of the pink in that challenge.

Crafty Ribbons has a shaped card with ribbon challenge.  Tumbelina Faery wants to see all of the lovely shapes and is going to visit that challenge.

Spring Has Sprung?!

Hello everyone.  I am bringing you some MoonFlower Digital Stamps inspiration today.  I decided to use Elf Maiden for this project, and when I looked at her, these were the colors I saw.  I know it isn't spring, but you have to go with the mojo or risk losing it all together!!

I colored Elf Maiden using Copic markers.  I cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo and a file I made from my Spellbinders Label 4 set.  I usually print several stamps on one sheet and having a digital file of the labels set means I don't have to cut the sheet apart to cut out the image I am using.  That allows me to go back and cut the others using the Silhouette as well.

Elf Maiden was one of the gorgeous newsletter freebies you can receive each month just by signing up for the newsletter on the website.  You can find her in the shop now.  If you would like to receive a gorgeous MoonFlower Digital Stamp each month, just pop over to the website and enter your email address in the form.  Be sure to confirm your subscription or you will not actually be signed up for the newsletter.

You can use your freebie to participate in the monthly challenge we have in the MoonFlower Digital Stamps group on Facebook.  You could win your choice of a stamp for free!

I hope you will join us in the group and show us your lovely creations.

It's an Illusion!

Hello everyone!  It is time for another challenge at the Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.  As always it is anything goes and we have three wonderful sponsors for this challenge.

I had the amazing Blue Sea Illusion from Ching-Chou Kuik to work with.  I think these images are gorgeous, but I have not colored one until now!  They are so intimidating!  I colored her in all blue-green tones with Copics and cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The large blue gem on her forehead started out yellow, but I used a Copic marker to change the color.  I decided on an easel card.  Until recently, I had never made an easel card.  This is my  second one.  They are so easy!  Here is a close up of the bottom part of the easel.  They are a little more difficult to take pictures of.

I had a lot of fun making this project!  Our sponsors for this challenge are:

Ching-Chou Kuik

Prize of 1 image

Flat Friends Boutique

Prize of 5 images

and

Fresh Brewed Designs

Prize of 3 images

I can't wait to see all of your gorgeous makes!  Good luck to you all!
