Octavia Moonfly - Unicorn Dreams Pop Up Box Card

Just a quickie from me today. I wanted show you my latest card using the new Octavia Moonfly Collection from Polka Doodles which is available not only as a CD and full digital download but also as individual digital downloads. I'm going to apologise in advance for the picture overload, but this card was so tricky to photograph and I'm still not sure that my pictures do it justice!

Anyway, I've made a little pop up box (the template for which can be found on the new Work & Play 9 Collection). I think I'm officially addicted to making these and actually can't think that I'm going to bored of making them as everyone is so completely different - I just hope you guys don't get bored of seeing them!

I coloured the image with Prisma Pencils (go gentle with me I'm still learning and experimenting with them) and used a selection of die cuts.

All of the papers were from the collection and as I needed a lemon paper and there wasn't one, I simply changed the colour in word. To finish, everything has been given a generous sprinkling of glitter to add to the magical, dreamy effect.

For those of you who have ever wondered whether or not I have any help with my projects, well I can confirm that I do! Luckily this one passed Lillie's stringent quality check!

Oh just one more thing before I go. Polka Doodles is having a DT call and we need talented people for our Challenge Blog and Facebook Team. If you're interested in applying please pop over and read our requirements ( the closing date says the 7/2/2015 but we still have a few places so please do apply) http://polkadoodle.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/design-team-call.html

Right that's me done for today. So thanks for dropping by.

There's a fairy at the bottom of my garden.....

and her name is Wendy Woo...... OK so I know the words to song are really "there's a worm at the bottom of my garden and his name is Wiggly Woo..." but for some reason I couldn't stop singing my version of it whilst making this card. I drove myself and everyone else in the house nuts with it :/ but hey it got the job done! So can you guess what this weeks challenge over at Polka Doodles is? Yep it's Fairies, Flitter & Fantasy. I do hope that you'll come and play with us, remember you don't need to use a Polka Doodles image, but we'd love it you did! Also you could win yourself some new stash.

This is what I've come up with this week - it's a stepper card with masses of cut out images (I sooo need to treat myself to a Craft Robo, there was way too much hand cutting involved in this card!) 

I started out by printing out the fairy and foliage from the All Around & Everywhere CD and the watering can, window & door (which is the window with the shutters chopped off) from the new Studio 12 Picknix Heavenly Garden Kit. I then coloured the images with Promarkers. Because I needed masses of foliage and believe it or not I do have something that resembles a life outside of crafting, I cheated and scanned the coloured image in and then printed out several flipped and resized copies. I then set about the gargantuan task of cutting everything out :/

The images are assembled onto a simple stepper card base using glue and pop dots (yes I really needed to add more dimension to the piece!). I'm not sure that my pictures show the Stickles on the wings or the Glossy Accents on the glass window - so you'll have to use your imagination.

Right that's me done for this week, so thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend. I'm off to the Craft Barn on Sunday and I'm hoping to catch up albeit it briefly with the lovely Nikky Hall. If you spot me there, come and say "Hi".
