My Fantasy Pet at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another challenge over at The Paper Shelter Blog and this week our optional theme is INSPIRED BY A BOOK OR MOVIE.

I chose "My Fantasy Pet" as I love dragons, and this image makes me think of Mulan.

I used the included paper and merged it with the blank image but accidentally printed without colour, so the background came out as greyscale. Oops. I used pencil to colour it, giving it a more muted tone and I think it actually works well.

The lantern/sentiment are cut/drawn using Cricut and ended up being a little small, so it's hard to read. I chose a quote from Mulan -

"The Flower That Blooms In Adversity Is The Most Rare And Beautiful Of All."  ~

The Emperor

Fairy Garden Thoughts at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Time is just flying by this year (and it seems every year since Covid, honestly. I'm still not sure where 2023 went!).

It's time for another challenge over at The Paper Shelter and this week our optional theme is ENJOY THE OUTDOORS, so hopefully you've had nice enough weather to do that. We've had lots of rain and wind lately, but it's finally getting nicer.

I have used Page 14 from the Fairytale Ladies colouring book to make an easel card. This fairy is enjoying some relaxation time among the garden flowers.

The easel part sits back further than I would normally do, to account for the sentiment.

I like to go over the wings with white pen to give them a more transparent look.

Enchanted MerMay Shadowbox at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another challenge over at The Paper Shelter, and this week our optional theme is MERMAIDS for MerMay.

I decided to make a shadow box as these are so much quicker for me now I have a Cricut, and I already had a frame made that I hadn't used.

I used Enchanted Ocean and cut the image parts separately so I could arrange them on different layers of my shadowbox.

I used shadowbox layers that I found on Cricut Design Space and added a couple more to complete the scene.

I kept the project to mostly cardstock but added a few embellishments.
