CoD Lavender Fairy

 

Hello

At the Conjurer of Dreams blog there are several challenges.

Some of the challenges provide an image to work with.

The Tag Challenge this month has a beautiful Lavender Fairy image to use.

This is what I made:

I die cut the fairy image using a set of nesting dies from Crea-nest-lies. I also cut a piece of kraft card using the next size up. The image was adhered and some glitter applied to her wings. I die cut a Sizzix lacy border from distress oxide coloured card and die cut some wild flowers, then dipped them into puddles of oxide inks. Some paint splatters were applied all over (I forgot to cover up her face). I found an adhesive 3D butterfly that sits perfectly on top of the flowers and I added the sentiment and ribbon through a crop-o-dile tag hole.

Here's a close up:

Hope you'll pop over to collect the image and join our tag challenge.

* Heart's Quest Fantasy: Baby Griffin

 

Hello

I am delighted to have been invited to guest design for the 

Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog.

The Heart's West Fantasy Challenge is an open fantasy, mythical or mythical creatures themed challenge blog..

This month the theme is AG Fantasy (see blog for what counts), with the option of Griffins.

Now I searched and searched, but didn't have any images of Griffins, so I decided to let AI create one for me using Bing Image Creator. I didn't like a lot of them, but the two that I did like, I've added below. Please feel free to download them if you wish.

Here is my card featuring a baby griffin in fantasy colours:

I decided to make a shaker card, so I die cut the printed image and with the same set of dies I made 6 frames out of thick,  teal card. I glued the frames together and placed on top of the image with sequins. I die cut a frame from patterned paper and adhered acetate to the back. This was then glued onto the top of the frame to seal the shaker element. The background paper is from an old paper pack and is glittered.

I added a band of patterned paper matted onto teal card with the hand stamped sentiment 'Happy Birthday'.

* Gecko Galz: Dragon's Roar

 

Hello

Every month over at the Gecko Galz blog we have the monthly free image challenges, as well as the main blog challenge, posted on the first day of each month.. 

There is a monthly card challenge, the monthly Christmas Image challenge, the Fantasy challenge, the monthly ATC challenge,  a Gothic Challenge and a Steampunk challenge. These can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog page and you are able to download the FREE image there. 

We also have the quarterly challenge. and 4 Facebook challenges.

Today is a rainy day, so I thought I'd have a go with this month's free Fantasy image challenge which is a gorgeous dragon. I decided to make my project interactive :)

Here is what I made:

I had some left over painted card from a previous project (the 'Ocean Life' shaker booklet) which was in colours suitable for the dragon background, so I used those. I die cut a 3 3/4 inch circle upon which I mounted the dragon. I used a piece of brayered, painted card for the background and added the alpha stickers to spell 'roar' as well as some sparkly, light purple gemstones..

The dragon was fussy cut from it's background and inked around the edges. I made a cut along his jaw line and adhered the two parts to a clothes peg. I tried to camouflage the peg by colouring with Copics, his mouth being coloured in red, and the ends of the peg above his head in mauve..

Here he is roaring:

And finally here's a short video to show how he roars:

We hope you can find some time to join in the fun.
