The cute Anya Faeries have been coloured with sakura stardust pens so they sparkle and promarkers. The backing paper is from vol 1 of designer extreme by bearly mine.

I have used this little fisher Ian and coloured him with promarkers and sakura gel pens so the fishes look shiny. The papers are again from bearly mines designer extreme vol 1 disc the charm is from my stash and the backing stamp is from magnolia. I coloured the backing with water colour pencils and sakura stardust pens to make the dragonflies sparkle.

I have used my brad new paper cellar papers and sentiment that I got in their incredible sale. The cute fairy is again from the greetings farm and has been decoupaged so she is more 3d. Icoloured her with promarkers and sakura pens to give bit of sparkle.

Cupcake craft challenge # 36


This weeks challenge is a brilliant sketch. I am going to be using this sketch again for sure. I have used my cute digi geisha Anya and coloured her in photoshop then I have decoupaged her so she stands out a bit more and added a flower gem to her hair for extra sparkle. The papers are from papermania's oriental spice stack and the black that I backed it on actually has a sparkle to it not that you can see from the picture. The coins are from my stash.

Club Anya blog hop!!

I am so excited I have had to set this to self post so I hope it has worked. I just love Anya and all her friends at the Greetings farm so much as you will see if you look at the rest of my blog as well. I have made a few cards and bits and pieces for you to look at......
















For the first card I have used the beautiful Geisha Anya download. I have made her massive so she fits on an A5 page. Then I have coloured her with a mix of twinkling h2o's and promarkers. I have also added micro beads to the flowers on her kimono and the band around her middle and a gem to the flower in her hair. She is also decoupaged so that she looks much more 3D. I had great fun doing this card and will be making more with the other downloads.




The second card I had great fun playing with colours. This is the digi stamp of the cutes unicorn I know I have coloured him with pro markers and sakura pens so he sparkles and added a couple of gems to the flowers.




For the next cards I decided to really play. I have used the wedding topper set and stamped it out then scanned them into my computer and flipped the image so I could mix and match the partners and even the clothes. These are just perfect for my gay freinds and it is so hard to get toppers that will work for a gay blessing or union. I am really happy with how they turned out :) The keyring was just a quick little thing I have made again using a downloadable image of Anya this time Alice. I put her on one of the papers from The Anya digi kit "Return to wonderland" and then put the sentiment on the back. These digi kits do not get used enough they are truely amazing.

Wish I could join in the chat but it is really late here in the UK and I have to be up at 0500 am for work so you all have fun and I will just have to try and catch up later.

Thank you all so much for visiting my little blog.

On each tiny flower I have then added a tiny gem so they sparkle. Tink herself again flies free over the card on a strip of acetate.
