CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #134 - hosted by Meg

The pattern I have used is a download purchased from Stitching Cards.  I think the flower under which the fairy is sitting is a Bluebell.  The blue and pink mat layers were cut using my favourite Carnation Crafts 'Shabby Dies'.

The sentiment - in gold - was cut using a die,  - but as usual I can't remember from whom I purchased it.  The stitched image sheet has been attached to the mats using very small pink and blue brads.

I think the fairy has a very pretty face and such a faraway look - and a figure I would die for!!

I hope all are well.  I have had a week of medical tests.  Just normal - including a  COVID 19  booster - and all is OK.  It's like waiting for buses - wait ages and then 3 come along at once. 

I look forward to visiting your blogs - as always and if you feel like leaving me a comment as you pass by, would be much appreciated.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #133 - hosted by Pamela

 

Again I turned to La Pashe for my card for this challenge.  As well as having a 'thing' about butterflies I also love seeing Hot Air Balloons.  Either images or the real thing.  I have this die for a balloon and when I found the stripey 'material' on the internet it seemed to go with the skeleton of my die perfectly.  Having made the 'balloon' I then searched my collection of CD's for a scene and found just the thing - guess where?  Yes - La Pashe.

I wanted something that I could use with space enough for the balloon in which it would look reasonably natural.  This image is called Daffodil Walk and is a decoupage page.

 

There are three layers for the decoupage - including the background.  The three small images to the right are perfect for ATC's. Here below is one I made many moons ago.

 

I plan to use the card in one of our UKSN swop groups and will post it next week.  Here at CD Sunday we have a rule that we do not show/use our team cards before they are published on the Blog, so I have to stick to the rules.

I am looking forward to my visits to your blogs and to choosing my Top 3 for the last challenge.

Take care
