My wish for you is every good thing



Hello, how are you? Today I am playing with a new stamp which I received as a birthday gift from a friend - MFT Fairy Best Friend Stamp. It is a lovely set with little fairies and flowers, and the most lovely sentiment. As they are small I immediately thought of using them on artist trading coins, as I make a lot of coins to swap. 


If anyone is new to the coins, I thought I would write the details on how to make them, or at least how I make them!


Artist trading coins are always a 2.5 inch circle. You can choose what to cut it from, a lot of people recycle  food packaging which is a wonderful idea. I usually like to watercolour mine so I cut them from watercolour  paper. I am hopeless at keeping the backs clean so I use regular card to cut another circle to go on the back. 


On the back of the stamps you write your name, date, the title of your coin and the number of how many you have made. If you made 3 you would write 1 of 3, 2 of 3 etc. There are several stamps available which are made especially to stamp on the back of coins, but you can easily write all the information  yourself.



I began by water colouring a background, but of course you could use any medium. I love the sentiment “My Wish For You Is Every Good Thing” I stamped and then embossed it. 


I then stamped some of the flowers from the set around the edges of the coin, and used glitter gelly pens to colour them. 


After stamping and water colouring, I fussy cut the cute fairies, not forgetting to add magical glitter their wings. I adhered them to the coins using  3D sticky pads.You can use any theme to create your coins, the possibilities are endless. 

They are now all ready for me to swap, I have made some inchies using this stamp set too.




I hope these little details have been helpful to anyone new to making coins. 
Thank you so much for visiitng. Take care and stay safe xx

Fairy Bells


Hello, thank you for stopping by. We are enjoying lovely sunny weather at the moment, and it is about time after weeks of rain. 

Today I am being visited by this lovely Fairy, who is enjoying the magical sounds from the fairy bells.The background, fairy and flowers are all water coloured. There is lots of glitter, on the wings, but of course it does not show up in the photo. 

I created this for a Facebook challenge, but I am also entering it into the following blog challenges.

Inspiration Station  the picture of the music score reminds me of the impromptu music created from wind chimes.

Fairy Flowers


Hello, I hope all is well with you. I’m continuing to stay home apart from attending medical appointments. It is very worrying times isn’t it. Thank goodness for crafting, it has always helped me with my health and disability problems, and it is keeping me going now. 

I was thrilled to see that Chocolate Baroque are running a new challenge, they have taken over from the Penny Black Challenge. This months challenge theme is Wings.I have a lovely hanging flowers CB stamp, so I decided to use it along with a gorgeous fairy stamp and butterflies. I used my favourite watercolours, and lots of glitter for my card. Glitter just never seems to show in photos, no matter what contortions you do! 

Thank you so much for visiting, and please stay safe xx

Fairy Friend



Hello, how are you today? I’m continuing to stay safe and staying home. I am really missing going out, and it is sometimes difficult to work out what day it is!

For my birthday last month I received a new Fairy stamp, and this was my first play with it. I used watercolours, brushos, and added some beads in her hair. There is also oodles of glitter on this picture, but of course it doesn’t show up in the photo.

I am thinking about starting Christmas cards next, but I’ve no idea what I am going to do yet.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Please stay safe xx

Fairy Playing To The Mushrooms


Oh my goodness isn’t it cold ! Did somebody forget to tell the weather it’s March ! To take my mind of the weather I have created with this lovely Lavinia Fairy I received her for Christmas, but I have only had time to use her now. I have been busy designing with wonderful stamps. and I am of course very happy and grateful for that. 

 I have at last also got around to using the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxides, Only 3 colours to start with Picked Raspberry, Broken China, and Bundled Sage.I used all three to create the background for this card.I dabbed them onto my ink blending mat, and spritzed over them with water. I laid my card into the inks, and lifted it up to reveal the results, it looked like a watercoloured background. I kept dipping the card into the inky puddle until it was covered.

I stamped the fairy using a Versafine black inkpad, and coloured the flowers and mushroom die cuts with watercolours. Thank you for visiting me today, let’s hope the snow stops and it gets above freezing soon xx

Magical Fairy Book

 
Inside the magical Fairy world!

 
I used a Tando Creative Mini Printer Tray for my Magical Fairy book. As I was going to use Watercolours,I put a coating of gesso onto the pieces first.

 
I stamped Lavinia Stamps onto shrink plastic and shrunk them down, so they would be just the right size to sit happily in the printer tray.

 
The front cover, the fairies are happily sitting in the Enchanted Forest.They are wondering where all the other fairies are.....

 
The inside front cover.

 
Here are the fairies!

 
And the deers, and horses, and don't forget the hare..

 
Or the unicorn,

 


 
I added glass beads on the sides of the book and painted over them with Indigoblu  Iced Gem Paint


Thank you Fairy much for visiting me today xx

I was wheeling through the forest yesterday and I saw some little bubbles sparkling in the distance.I wonder where they were coming from.....

 
I added lots of glitter, and glossy accents on the bubbles, not sure if they show up very well in the photo.

 
I used Lavinia Stamps and Die cuts to create this card and lots of watercolours!
