A Bewitching Day

“Lips to lips, mouth to mouth,

Comes the speaker of the shrouds,

Suck in the spirit, speak the words,

Let secrets of the dead be heard.” 

Yasmine Galenorn, Witchling

Happy Halloween

u

A fairy Moment

and above all

watch with glittering eyes

the whole world

around you

Because the greatest secrets

 are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

Those who do not believe

 in magic will never find it.

-Roald Dahl

On the  forums we host a mid month challenge of cards/tags and this month I am your hostess. This month it is about fairy dust and everything magical  So come join us this month, get  inspired by the mood board and lets create something magical! 

 I used  sheets of the Crea Diem Collection by Maja Design. What I usually do to begin a card is take 3 to 4 sheets of 12x12 and cut them into 6x6 squares. Even if the base of my card is 5.5" x 5.5" I have that extra 1/2" to punch nip and tuck somewhere in the card  - I never throw out the scraps ..

Lots of Flying Unicorn flowers, that are available in our etsy store and altered flying unicorn adornments. The adornments were painted with 13@rts paints - no gesso required. One coat of the paint covers metal perfectly!  The glitter paints are perfect to add a little shimmer and shine! The image is a digital image is from Sylvia Zet- Sweet Sparkle

I am dreaming of a Pink Christmas

“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.” 

I am hosting a challenge this month using only  your  favorite color and shades of it and one more to compliment or  contrast - so come play along !  

Joy

Christmas magic is here
with your tree all aglow,
snowflakes are gently falling
and children sleding in the snow,
so Merry Christmas to you
with this card comes cheer,
we wish you all the happiness,
today and all next year.

 Love that  I am getting my Christmas  cards so early this year  .... and  here is another  one  using up  some  stash -   See you do not need to use Christmas  paper to make your card festive !  A little  snow  from a bottle, some  glitter and a  perfect  holiday card to bring  someone a little cheer.

Snow in a Bottle - Love this stuff! 

Fine, fine glitter

Of course we needed to make a pink Christmas card!  Digital Stamp by Sylvia Zet  and  colored using  Spectrum Noir Markers.   The  papers, those are from my stash  again - using  things  up-its the  Scrap Cake Collection One Moment in Time   - and  we have a few sheets still left in the store -  they really make  for a pretty shabby soft vintage Christmas look.

Oh ya  it  may be  only September  but thanks to the forum challenge  Christmas Countdown   I am getting a jump start on my Christmas Cards this  year ....

I am also destashing and  using up some of the older papersI still have in my stash, and  I loved and still love the collection by my once upon a time favorite company The Scrap Cake, and their collection  Cozy Christmas
