I have been following the Bah Humbug challange blog but as usual I am three weeks behind everyone else !. The first challange was holly and fairies but I only got round to making a card today although I still wanted to do so because I really liked the theme. I used the lovely distress inks in scattered straw, crushed olive, bundled sage and forest moss for my background. I flicked a mixture of gold perfect pearls mixed with water over the top to give a lovely speckled effect a bit like snowfall. I then stamped my holly wreath in forest moss and coloured the berries in barn door. Glossy accents give them a shiny effect. My faries are also coloured with distress inks with watercolour pencils adding extra shading over the top. I hope this Friday to take part in the challange properly and actually enter Lol. Thanks for looking x Vinny

ReplyDeletewelcome to blogland - be warned, challenge sites get addictive! lovely card though, I like the fairies sitting on the wreath
ReplyDeleteWell done for joining blogland and welcome. This is a really pretty card and better late than never as they say. I found the BH challenge really handy last year as I took part in every one and had loads of cards ready in really good time (unusual for me). I;ve started again this year too.
