Royal Welcome

A quick share today of a sweet fairy from Penny Black celebrating the arrival of a baby girl.  This was inspired by the arrival of the princess Charlotte and the Mojo Monday Sketch #400. 

I love these little fairies and had fun coloring her with my STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell watercolor pencils.  I decided to frame her out on the inside of my card. 

I flipped the sketch and left a little room for my sentiment.  I cut a partial circle to show her off and then used the Simon Says Stamp Stencil to add the circles on the front sponged with fossilized amber and vintage photo.

The sketch:

Have a happy Thursday!

Queen Bee

This week the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge challenge is regal or royal.  This had all kinds of ideas buzzing around in my head. :)

I started thinking about the new princess charlotte and the royal family.  This had me thinking about how pleased the queen must be with another grandbaby.  So my card is inspired by the Queen Bee.

I started with a mix of honeycomb embossed background with a lovely overcoat of the Fossilized Amber spritzed over the background.  I hit the background with a splatter of a red spray.  I drew in the lines to make it look like a giant card.

I die cut the bee and embossed with a floral embossing folder.  I added a few chit chat stickers and a crown to my Queen.   Hopefully this has you thinking of different ideas for the royal challenge!
