Good morning everyone I hope your all fit and well...my sniffles are ok not too bad must just be a summer head cold, I don’t feel really sick or anything, go figure...well it tiddled down all day yesterday and I felt so sorry for my poor Dad coming from Cyprus to this horrible weather...he had a good time but got a bit of a tummy upset and had to take drinks for dehydration, his poor tum is still a bit upset yet but fingers crossed he won’t need any more medication...well we had coffee and never shut up for about 2 hours, we nattered and gossiped and put the whole world to right...you know given enough paper work I think my Dad could bring world peace and a total end to poverty and stupid politicians all in a fortnight lol...its fab to have him back and I did only a half shop so we had an excuse to go out tomorrow again...I smell more coffee brewing lol...anyway onto my card for today which is for the Crafts and Me DT, I used this stunning Forest Friend which is one of the newest Sara Burrier digi’s, I love this images and those wings are so unusual not your normal fairy is she, maybe that’s why I like her so much...I coloured her with distress inks and of course those wings just cried out for glitter didn’t they...I teamed her up with this gorgeous paper from Basicgrey’s Wisteria collection, it’s called French Topiary, I finished with a gorgeous ribbon bow, some pins and a sentiment from my stash...those colours were just perfect for this fairy don’t you think...the sketch is from the Totally Gorjuss challenge and I made it for the Basicgrey Shabby Chic challenge too, but I always struggle with shabby chic as I’m never quite sure what it is, so I don’t think I managed to get the theme but will enter it anyway, if one of the BG team will let me know I will take it off if it doesn’t fit, I'm also entering it for the Papertake Weekly anything goes challenge too...right that’s me for today I’m off to take some card piccy’s then off out with my wonderful Dad...whatever your up to today have a brilliant oneMina xxx

ReplyDeleteHi sweetie this is gorgeous I dont know what to drool over more the image or the gorgeous bow. I soooo love this image tho.
ReplyDeleteI adore shabby chic my bedroom & bathroom are in it altho my bedroom needs redoing & I'm thinking of going more for the french chic this time. Shabby chic is basically vintage with a cottage type feel to it....you know florals & old distressed stuff & bits of white paint here & there lol.
Bet its soooooo good to have your dad back I miss my dads daily chats & cuppa's & shopping trips

A gorgeous image, Mina and I love the colours! Can't hep with the shabby chic thing though because I don't think I know what it is either!
ReplyDeleteDiane x
Oh this is sooo pretty Mina, well done ...love that coluring too :O) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteIt is - at least I think so. If you research Shabby Chic it nearly always refers to furniture, pale, often grey and white, slightly distressed often with a vingage or bohemian look.
ReplyDeleteI'm full of useless knowledge LOL!!
So yes Mina I think you card classifies as Shabby Chic and it is beautiful, lovely papers, beautiful image and stunning bow!!!
So thanks so much for joining us at BG.
hugs

Hi Mina,

Definitely shabby chic, Muted distressed colors and you distressed the edges of your paper. Makes it shabby chic in my book!
ReplyDeleteHello there Mina, Hope you're feeling better this evening and glad you've had the chance to put the world to rights with your dad:0) Your card is beautiful, love these fairies you've been colouring lately so realistic (I know fairies aren't real, shhh) and like you I love their wings, great drawings. Gay xx
ReplyDeleteI love the way you talk about your dad - it's obvious you've got a fantastic relationship. This is a gorgeous card - that image is beautiful!! Hugs, Marie xxx
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty! I love the wings on her & your coloring is awesome as always. I don't think you could color something Ordinary if you tried! They are all gorgeous! Glad you are feeling a tad better!
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful card! I love the glittered wings, look so magical :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could share which ink colors you used for her :)
