A Sleigh and a Fairy

It's a busy time of year but I've been fitting in a bit of crafting.  First I have a card for Sparkles Christmas Challenge "Include a Sleigh":

I stamped the image and coloured it with coloured pencils. I carefully sponged around it with two shades of blue Distress ink, being careful to leave the pale yellow glow of the lantern. I flicked a bit of water on it for more interest. I went along the ground with a glue pen and then sprinkled glitter on it (hard to photograph, but in real life it's sparkly).

And for Stamping Sensations, the challenge is to add a stencil to a stamped card.

 

This card was inspired by a video by Eileen Godwin.

I masked a circle on white cs and then stencilled around it in light blue. I removed the mask and stamped around the circle with the garland stamp. I then stamped the fairy in black directly on the card and again on a scrap of cs but only the wings. I went over the wings with a Versamarker pen and heat embossed them with Kaleidocolor embossing powder. I fussy cut the wings and glued them over the plain stamped wings. I trimmed the panel with a square stitched die and popped it up on fun foam on the card base. Finished off with blue Stickles and a white Pearl Pen on the berries.
