Abi and Pony

Hello Everyone,
I was hoping to get to GNPE at Harrogate today but unfortunately Hubby had to work, and I didn't really want to drag the two munchkins around the show!! I would have spent more time keeping an 'eye' on them than on all the crafty stash on show!! Anyway, fingers crossed I might get the chance to go for a couple of hours in the morning!!

I've got a very quick card to share today. This is 'Abi and Pony' from Digi Stamp Boutique. Sorry for the poor photo but it's been very grey here today! It looks much better and brighter in RL!

I've coloured her with promarkers and the background papers are from Dovecraft - garden party.

I've used a MB cloud die, a Marianne creatables fence die and a Marianne Creatables button flower die.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Digi Stamp boutique - October Challenge
Passion for Promarkers - Lots of legs

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog today and for all your lovely comments. I hope you have a fab weekend.

A Little Bit Shabby at A Little Bit Crafty!

Good Morning Everyone,
Firstly I'd like to say a big 'hello' to my new followers - I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my little blog, and secondly....It's October...what happened to the last 9 months???!!
It's time for a brand new challenge over at A Little Bit Crafty and this month the theme is...
A LITTLE BIT SHABBY
Now, I'm not too good with the whole shabby/chic type of thing, but I had a go and here's my effort!

The image is one of the gorgeous fairies from the 'Return to Fairy Glen' collection. I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings.

The background papers are from Melissa Frances - C'est la Vie.
I tried to give the card a bit of a distressed look but after a few attempts with sandpaper, I was the one distressed so I turned to the cheese grater! Then I thought I'd do a bit of stitching around the edges, but the sewing machine stitched it's last and I had to resort to a promarker fine liner pen! At least I had all the pretty flowers from the Ribbon Girl to fall back on.
I also used a MB cloud die, a MB Pippi butterfly die and the pearls and ribbon are from my stash.

This month we are sponsored by The Octopode Factory with a $10 gift certificate.
