Hi everyone, it me again, Miranda

Today I have a cute fairy for you, designed by Rick St Dennis and available in the etsyshop here. 

Her name is STAR FAIRY, isn't she gorgeous. I really love her. 

The background is made in the same way as in my tutorial from yesterday, which you can find on my blog or in the AIRLESS CHAMBERS BLOG. If you want to have a look just click here.

I found the ELVEN saying on the internet and it's by the GREY COMPANY

"aa 'lasser en lle coia orn n'omenta gurtha..." 

and it means 

"may the leaves of your lifetree never turn brown...."

the name of this blog, Sparkle and Glitter

the huge selection of rhinestones, trims, sequins and beads in my stash from creating bellydance costumes, esp the bras:

613 Avenue Create Challenge Blog and RSD

I hope that all Mothers everywhere are having a fantastic Mother’s Day. We all deserve it.  At least that’s my opinion.

Rick St. Dennis MFA is the sponsor over at 613 Avenue Create challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes with a Twist. That twist is no squares or rectangles allowed, but you can create an easel type project. I have the honor of being their Guest Designer for this challenge.

I took the easel route and created a Steampunk themed easel card. The image I used is Victoria McSteeme, from Rick’sEtsy Shop. Take a peek at all the other lovely ladies that he has created.

This was a fairly easy easel card to create. After my image coloring with Copics was complete I used a Spellbinder’s Grand Decorative Oval One die on that image. I cut out the center part of that die with the image and accented with Frayed Burlap Distress ink.  I used the same die for the copper frame and attached the center part. The cogs on that section are from a chipboard collection by Make It Crafty. I used Viva Décor Inka Gold in copper and lava green to try and make them look a little more like metal. This new Viva Décor Inka Gold is a dream to use. It is a beeswax base which allows you to buff for a wonderful shine.

The bottom of the easel card was created with Spellbinder’s ovals and a smaller die from the Grand Decorative Oval One set. My collection of metal embellishments came in handy for this project. You can never have too many metal embellishments, right?

I hope you join us at 613 Avenue Create. Wait until you see what their design team comes up with using Rick’s images.

Last minute announcements…don’t forget about the contest that is going on right now here at Sparkle and Glitter. For this contest, you must use the freebie Rick gave us. You can still pick it up here. After you have completed your little piece of art, link your project and blog to ourcontest page.

Fantasy and Mythical creations with Rhedd and Rosie Challenge Blog.

Today Rick St. Dennis MFA is the sponsor over at Rhedd and Rosie Challenge Blog. 

The Challenge this week is to use the theme Fantasy/Mythical on your project. It was my honour to Guest DT for this challenge, here's what I created;

I used the beautiful Sea Sprite Two image which can be found in the Fairy Tales Section of Rick's Etsy Store.  I coloured the Sea Sprite with a mix of Letraset Tria and Promarkers before die cutting the image and some coordinating card stock with some nestabilities dies.  I added some patterned paper and my die cuts to the card blank, along with a stamped sentiment.  I added some pearl stems behind my image to give the impression of underwater plants.  To finish my card I added some red pearls to inject a little contrasting red into my layout.

I hope i've inspired you to play along with the Rhedd and Rosie Challenge Blog, want more inspiration, then hop over there now to see the beautiful projects the Design Team have created using Rick's Fantastical Images.

Bye for now

Suzi
