Genie's Birthday Wishes at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's been a weird mix of weather here lately. Sunny daytimes then dark clouds coming by the time school is out. We finally got a couple of thunderstorms, then lots of rain over the weekend. It was very needed with the wildfires in this province.

Anyhoo, it's onto a brand new Anything Goes challenge over at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. This week our optional theme is CUT IT UP!

I have used 'Genie In The Lamp' for an interactive slimline card.

I had to colour him blue as a tribute to Robin Williams' Genie in Aladdin.

He rises out of his lamp to grant your wishes!

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 the movie Mulan. Mushu the dragon is a favourite character of mine.

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.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.
