Stamp it Crazy Challenge #2 - Fairyland here we come

This is the second challenge of the year at Stamp It Crazy (some fab rubber and digi stamps there, have to get me some and soon).  Anyway this challenge is to incorporate a fairy, pink, purple, ribbon and glitter.  I decided to make a little ornament for my girls.

I think I hardly used any of my own stash on this most of it was from kind blogging buddies.  I used a diecut birdcage and feathers from the fabulously talented artist Netty.  The spider stamp at the bottom (which is super cool) and the pink ribbon were from another very talented lady Barb from Haunted Design House and the sparkle at the bottom was stickles that the crazy but extremely talented Gloria aka creepy glowbugg sent to me.  (I am a total skadge!).  I used pink and purple ribbon and beads.  A polymer fairy stamp I purchased a couple of years ago.  There are three faerie charms at the bottom and I used a lot of stickles in a few colours.  The spider has purple glitter on his body and his web is stickled up.  Oh the paper at the back is Magnolia (very very cute).

Anyway the pictures are pretty cruddy it does look better in real life but you have to take my word for it and I wouldn't trust me if my life depended on it!!

HDH052 - Stamp It Crazy!

Stamp it crazy this week over at Haunted Design House.  I am not very good at stamping wait swipe that I am terrible at stamping.  No matter how hard I try to get an even coverage when pressing down there is always an important part of that stamp blank.  I tried the foam backing a roller acrylic block etc etc but to no avail the stamping demons have made it their goal in life to make my stamped images turn out just horrible haha.  So when this challenge came up I thought oh no here we go haha.  So I stamped lots of different images and sifted through them to find the ones that looked halfway decent of the many many images I stamped a few turned out okay.  So here is my card made from three of the stamped images that turned out not to bad. 

I used a sugar nellie stamp from Funky Kits a little Scottish stamp company that sells some very cute images from some great artists.  Anyway the one I used I tried to make it look like a statue headstone and did a couple of gravestones beside it.  I put 52 weeks to symbolise the challenges and Anniversary well that is rather obvious haha.  I used to little fabric roses and a cross charm with a little bow tied.  The background was a 12x12 sheet that I stamped some stars and embossed them with a powder (can't remember which one as I have quite a few now)  I also embossed the main stamped image and the anniversary stamp is embossed also (not very clear on my terrible pic).  A very simple card but believe you me when I try to fancy it up like the rest of you ladies it looks like a dog's dinner.

Coloured it with various greys from promarkers and copics.  I also used a gelly roll pen (white).
