ICSketches#3

Hi all... my apologies first of all for not managing to visit you all over the weekend as I had hoped to do... unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way and at the moment I have some 'stuff' going on and I have decided that it would be better if I take a break from blogging for a couple of weeks until I manage to sort everything out.

So that in mind this will be my last 'proper' post for a while... although I have sorted out some digi freebie kits and some mini card making kits for you to download if you want them and have postdated the posts so there will still be a few goodies for you to see and grab while I am away :D

Before I disappear I wanted to share this with you though.... I should have put it up last week but well...it just didn't happen. This was my card for Dawn's ICSketch#3 challenge there is another sketch up now so if you love sketches pop over and see all the gorgeous DT cards for some inspiration and maybe join in yourself.
Once again the paper and stamps I used are by Crafty Individuals I love this pretty lady 'with love' stamp and you just know I adore wings.

I created her 'tiara' with a corner stamp... cut out and mounted on a 3d pad with a little bit of bling added too and paper pieced her dress and wings.

The purple border is an elegant lace effect stamp and the bottom edging was created with a Fiskars border punch.

Thanks for looking and for continuing to visit and leaving me your lovely comments. I will be back as soon as I can and will look forward to it.

HUGE HUGS

Lovely little Lilly....She's so Tweet...

It seems like a million years ago since I did any Digital stuff but I couldn't resist playing with this gorgeous photo of June's adorable little Grandaughter Lilly.... isn't she just adorable, just love that amazing smile and I believe she's a happy fairy in disguise :)

So I decided to wave my magic wand over her and turn her into a flower fairy who would bring sunshine to anyone's garden...what do you think... isn't she just the sweetest little thing :)

I used a couple of my Photoshop brushes for the flowers and toadstool and borrowed the wings from a photograph I took at Butterfly world a while ago and I think little Lilly wears them all beautifully :)

We couldn't have a photograph without a layout though and as some of the Ct team girls have been busy designing parts of a fab collab kit and June has some fab new freebie stuff too... well what better way to let you see what's up for grabs. Pop over and grab all the free additions to the collab kit from Cen's Loft and you can also get June's part of a massive blog train set of digi freebies and links to many more.
