Make My Monday - Fairies/Mystical

Its Monday, the start of a new week and time for the new challenge at Make My Monday. The challenge this week is Fairies/Mystical!! After a rummage through my stamps I found some fairy silhouettes which might be Dovecraft or might not!

I masked off the moon then inked over the card with Soft Sky, new Blackberry Bliss and a touch of Wisteria Wonder(about to be retired) to tone it down, the ground was inked with the new  Mossy Meadow. I think this is fast going to become my favourite green! I used brushes but I could have used a brayer or sponges.Then I stamped the leaves and grasses , using first and second generation stamping in black stazon. The fairy was then added and the little sentiment which was lying loose in my stamp box - so no idea what make it is. Hope this looks mystical enough.

Sneak Peak and NBUS#1

When Darnell launched her NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) challenge I was just about to go on holiday so had to wait till I got back before I could take part. For the last week I have been thinking about it and this morning took myself off to the craft room, armed with a cup of coffee, to play. I looked at my VERY tidy desk, looked at my stamps and mountain of NBUS, then I rearranged my ink pads, looked out of the window and finally went back downstairs to see if inspiration would strike while I had lunch!

It must have been something in the pizza 'cos I had an idea! And this is almost what I saw in my head!  The sneak peaks are the gorgeous new Blackberry Bliss card and ink teamed with the new Mossy Meadow ink which you can order from me next week, when the new catty goes live.As the stamp is a two part one I also used Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz (retired) ink. As for my NBUS - the sneak peak schtuff 'cos its new, the sentiment stamp which is from Clarity stamps and the Stippled Blossoms stamp set which had never been opened before.I make that 5! As well as popping in to see Darnell  I'm also going to visit the Playground with a snippet - even though it's quite a big snippet - the piece of white card I stamped on.
