How to: make a little magic

OOOOOOK, it's been a long break. I've spent a wonderful summer holiday in Italy and in Germany with a short stop at Austria. Now I am trying to make up everything I left behind. Phew...

Wednesday means it' a brand new challenge at

and it's one of my favourites

SHABBY CHIC

Oooooh, I just love all these laces and torn paper and smudges and pearls and all these elements I still can't use properly LOL

We have a great sponsor

I was trying to do my best, but I am still not sure. After almost 3 weeks of non-crafting my hand are like made of wood.

I can't explain that, but every time I am not sure what color should I use, I always end up with pink LOL Here I used the LOTV stamp 'Birthday Fairy'.  It's colored with promarkers and distressed.

I have used for the first time these FIMO elements - I bought some tiny moulds a couple of weeks ago, and I was dying to use them.

There is no sentiment this time, but this is a 'Birthday Fairy', so the image says it all.

How to: make a little magic for Valentines

Today it's gonna be so sweet that your teeth start to ache LOL

I found this adorable stamp that I received during some GDT, but finally didn't use it. And I decided to use it for creating a Valentine card for girls now. As girly as possible.

The card is made according to a sketch from Sweet Stop challenge blog:

 

Here's my card:

 The stamp is from the LOTV of course and it's called 'Birthday Fairy'. But I am using it for Valentines. It is not forbidden, isn't it? LOL

The fairy is colored with Promarkers.

I added a lot of bling here: a glitter heart and some tiny gems as a fairy dust.

The sentiment is unusual this time, 'cos it's on the charm! Hope it still counts as a sentiment.

I think every little girl would like to receive a Valentine like this. I can see the girls at my class wearing all pink (8 years old).

Thank you for visiting my blog!
