Super Duper Sparkly Christmas tree!

Today I have a sample card made for Meiflower once again using the gorgeous Crystal blossom sequins. This was one of those cards that seemed like a good idea at the start, but after an hour of painstakingly adding each sequin to a triangle of green card, it didn't seem like such a good idea after all LOL!

I have to admit though that I loved the way it turned out and it looks fabulous when the light catches it and the sequins all twinkle. Next time around I may just cover the triangle with tacky glue, throw a load of blossoms at it and then push them all into place hehe!

Wee Winter Fairy

I've been MIA for the last week as I have had such a lot going on, but I am back now and to make up for neglecting the blog I am going to be posting something every day for the next week. 

There is also some fab news for any Teddy Bo fans out there as he will be back on Tuesday with some new images, so keep a look out for them.

I love this sweet little Winter Fairy digital stamp from Wee Stamps, which has been in my collection for quite a while now. A couple of weeks ago I found some time to colour her up and have finally got around to making up a card with her. I have a lot on at the moment, so have found myself mostly making quick cards - on this one the layout is quite simple, and I spent about 15 minutes adding the crystal blossom sequins around the edge of the circle. It really didn't take too long to put together, and I love the sparkle from the sequin frame as it catches the light.
