A Little Bit of Magic Might Help!

Good evening, all! I hope you're all keeping well and that you've seen a bit of sunshine today. Is Spring finally here? Certainly the weeds think so, they are becoming quite vigorous! I've been pulling them up by the handful this last week but it seems to make little difference!

But I did stop to make a card. This is for a dear friend of my daughter, she hasn't been well so we are sending her a 'care package' to cheer her up. I used this lovely stamp 'A little bit of magic might help' by Norma Fickel from Whiff of Joy's 'Get Well' set. I coloured her with Promarkers (list below) and went over the potion bottles with Glossy Accents.



I distressed the image and the WoJ sentiment with Milled Lavender Distress Ink. The papers are snippets from a Papermania Capsule Collection pad. I now have the Spellbinders' Matting Basics dies A and B which I used to cut out some of the papers. It's very quick!

I used an old piece of broderie anglaise trimming, and also some new yellow flowered ribbon from Hobbycraft. The swirls are made with two Marianne dies and a scrap of bright green paper, and the butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart punch and some ancient multi-coloured card which is very shiny. The butterflies have gems on their bodies.

The fabulous sketch is from Sketch and Stash Challenge and here it is:



I'm entering their challenge - everything I used is at least 18 months old except for the ribbon and the Spellbinder dies.

I'm also entering Pixie's Crafty Snippets Challenge - I'm sorry I haven't visited the Playground in a while, but I'm sorting my snippets and I'm determined to use them, so hopefully I'll be joining in more often!

Ok, chaps, I'll love you and leave you, but I'll be back in the morning with my final GDT post for My Time to Craft Where has April gone?????

Thanks for looking!

love Mags B x
