FAIRY CARD

Hi bloggers, hope your all having a great new year, mines going okay now kids are back at school yessss!!!!!!
well heres a card i have made using a digi i got about 2yrs ago from a friend but never used, which is great for this challenge blog i found over at magicalmondaychallenge.blogspot.com/
As i am new to challenges i am still finding my feet but have found some great ones so far. So heres my card, so love this image shes so magical arrrrr... and heres inside....
I coloured the image with copics and matted onto brown coredinations card, i also used 2 of the magnolia backing papers which i have had for a while, some lace and paper flowers from WOC, a Tim Holtz clock die (i had that for crimbo) and some hat pins.
For the inside i matted the same magnolia paper onto coredinations, and added 2 magnolia doo hickey angel wings, a doo hickey plaque and a prima flower with pearly things and a small rose, and a Thank you stamped sentiment inside,
I am entering this into the following challenges;-
COPIC MARKER EUROPE-HAIR COLOURING- I used E30,E53,E31,E35 Touch of E37
;I also have a little tip for you, i love the glitter card and acetate but i find the designs can be a bit flat, i make lacy glittered card/acetate by  following these simple steps;
1.First stick a sheet of double sided sticky a5 sheets onto your card or acetate.
2.Lay a fancy peice of lace over the top ( you can get cut offs for 50p a bag with about 15 different designs in)
3. Sprinkle one coloured glitter over the top, pat down, shake off access, leave 5 mins.
4.Then peel off lace and sprinkle a co-ordinating colour on top, pat down, shake excess off and tidy with a soft paint brush.
Pink and Silver look gorgeous, and the best thing is it costs about £3.50 to make about 10 sheets, the lace lasts for ages and so does glitter, you can also do this to make borders just use lace ribbon,if you want to die cut then just run thru machine before peeling the back off sticky sheet. Hope you have fun and find this tip useful..

So thats it from me for today, hope u like my card, lots of krafty hugzz, Kenz xx

Another card.

Hiya All,
heres another card i made, sorry about pic quality, i will try take a better one when i get some more batteries as they have ran out half way through taking pictures.
This is a lili of the valley card, made using one of my favourite xmas stamps from last year.

I love lotv stamps, there such great value and so cute, i wish i had them all, please santa,hint,hint,lol.

RECIPE

Bo Bunny distressed xmas papers
Core-dinations olive cardstock
Martha Stewart Holly punch
Nestabilities Wonky Squares
Decorative Tag Die
Red Satin Ribbon
Red Roses
Silver Heart Charm
Rose Leaves
Copic Markers
Tim Holtz Ink
Glitter Glue

So thats what i used to make the card, its a 6x6 easel card and i made a box to accompany it as due to the flowers it wont fit in a envelobox. I am going to enter it into the following challenges-
And as promised to C4C, this card along with 9 others will be donated to our local Dougie Mac hospice, for the residents to send to family members, i usually take them to one of my local charity shops but last month one of my ladies who i have been caring for had to go into the hospice, it was such a sad time but seeing how they care for her is exceptional, i try to visit as much as i can as she loves to make cards too and gets so excited when i take new crafty bits up for her and spend a few hours getting glitter and foam pads everywhere, gosh them things have a mind of their own, the nurses have even found them on themselves when they get home lol.
So Monday when i visit i shall deliver the cards.
hope you like it
love Shaka xoxo
