My Mo Manning Fairy Obsession Continues - more practice with my Spectrum Noir Pens

Hello to everyone and Happy Sunday.  I hope this finds you well.  

The weather is forecast to be fine here and we may be bramble picking later today.  

My younger daughter has a fancy for some bramble crumble and we saw some lovely specimens on the local heath the other day.  

We also found a pear tree dripping in fruits, so off we will go.

My obsession with Mo Manning Fairies continues. 

 I had purchased this fabulous image Summer Fairy Finna  recently and have not had time to colour her until now.  

She is a real beauty and has been a joy to colour.

  I am concentrating on colouring using my Spectrum Noir Pens and I am really happy with the results. 

 Coloured on Neenah Classic Crest Card - Solar White with some beautiful Shabby Blue Frantage detail.

Christmas Fairy Needle

Hello and happy day to everyone.  I hope this finds you well.

My post for today features the so sweet image Fairy Needle by Mo Manning.  

I have used this image before and I  think this is one of my favourite Digital Stamps and I have chosen to make a Christmas card with this lovely image.

Wonderful image as detailed above coloured using my Spectrum Noir Pens with glitter detail

Spellbinder die to cut image.

Background is an embossing folder from Crafter's Companion - Seasonal Music and it is lovely. Embossed on my Spellbinder.  My Spellbinder is gradually falling to pieces.  The handle has completly broken and my clever husband has made a replacement handle.  I will be asking Santa for an Ebosser for Christmas.

Card base is Centura Pearl Card.

  I purchased some white Mulberry Paper and have used Roses large and small quilling dies from Crafter's Companion to produce the beautiful roses.  These have been inked with Distress Inks - Tumbled Glass and dusted with glitter and are so twinkly and scrummy.

The image above was taken last evening in an attempt to show you all of the fabulous glitter and sparkle.

Other dies are Ivy and wonderful Snowflakes also from Crafter's Companion and these are  glittered.

Sentiment is computer generated and cut using a label from the Scalloped Tags Dies.

Other flowers and bling are from my stash.
