 The Fairies set was the clue to get out glitter etc.  My first card uses some fancy Spellbinders dies, a stencil and dragonflies along with today's set.  The sentiment Well Wishes was the closest I could get to Wishing You Well.
 

My second card also uses glitter and gilding flakes. I also added girlie pink ribbon.

My first card uses the medallion with three different coloured embossing powders and a simple Thank you sentiment.

My second card uses the medallion again with embossing powder (white) but this time stamped after I had coloured and masked the rosebud from Love Remains.  The sponging was done with Old Paper Distress Ink and I also stamped Cracked Hello over my sponging.  My last touch was the little embossed pieces made using Spellbinders dies.

For today's card I pulled out my gilding flakes which I used with the cage.  I sponged the background through a stencil (Memory Box - thanks for asking Anne) and stamped the sentiment from today's set directly onto my background.  The bird was cut with my Cricut and coloured with some ink on a cotton bud.

FOSTV111 - Grey and Green

For the blog hop please check next post down. Thanks

This week at FOSTV we are having a colour challenge and the colours this time around are

 Grey and Green. 

I decided to add to my Christmas card stash and make 6 cards using these colours.  I cut the grey panels with my Grand Calibur, the baubles with my Cricut and then stamped them with the tree from Bow Hunting which I embossed.  I then added bows in co-ordinating colours.

 

The prize this week for one lucky player on our challenge is the set called Gullible.  This set always reminds me of a day off in Hastings with friends over from the states.  One of the local sea gulls decided to bless me with good luck all over the shoulder of my top - yuck!

 

 

Have a great week and don't forget to play along.
