Two Cards I Made

Decorated Pot of Sugar Scrub

This was made for a challenge over on the Crafts Beautiful website.
I remember the days when I use to be able to have pampering bubble baths, this is no longer the case any more as i’m busy busy busy. I do sometimes sneak in the odd skin treat such as my sugar scrub. This is my sugar scrub decorated as it was rather plain but it is very pretty now and looks lovely in my bathroom.
I used doodlebug paper, margaret sherry stamps (coloured in with watercolour pencils), doodlbug pearl clam brad and my of course my nestabilities.
Oh I also had to paint part of the lid with paint acrylic paint. :0)

Oriental ATCs

I made these two cute China Doll Atc's for an oriental themed swap over at Crafts Beautiful forum - hope you like!

Vintage Flower Fairy

My friend Natalie (Sequin) from the Crafts Beautiful forum had sent me a gorgeous RAK (of which I'll post here shortly) which included this piece of Papermania Blueberry Hill paper and Flower Fairy Topper. I’ve changed the look of the paper by making it look old - I used an brown ink pad all around it, then rubbed my nail file over it to try and make it look old. When I first started adding the ink I thought “Oh my god it’s gonna look awful”. I added some pink glitter to the roses as well. I also added clear glitter to the fairy topper, on her wings, the rose and dress edge. I then added some rustic eyelets to the four corners - I’m hoping I’ve got a vintage look to this card.
