There’s a Fairies or Mystical Creations challenge at Crafty Cardmakers, so I thought I’d share my Oddball fairy…

For the first one I used Seedless Preserve and Toasted Marmalade Oxides, so I coloured her accordingly. I used the words that came with the stamp.

ODDBALL FAIRY 1B

The second is pretty, bright and sparkly – very simple but with a fair bit of bling Smile

Sparkle and Sprinkle challenge is to use sparkle, glitter or flocking and I think this qualifies…

ODDBALL SPARKLE 2B

Here’s a close up of the bling… I used Nuvo sparkle and some gems, adding Ice Stickles to the hair. It took me ages to find the hearts because I so rarely use them.

ODDBALL SPARKLE 2D

I’ve fallen in love with these stamps from Katzelcraft and had so much fun playing with them.  There’s an Animal Antics challenge on SSS Wednesday challenge.

So here’s my first one… a super colourful Oxide background, but very hard to get the colours accurate either with a scan or a photo!

ANIMAUX 1C

…and my second…

ANIMAUX 2

I’ll make sure the animaux are standing on a line next time – the poor sheepy looks as if he’s floating, lol. It wasn’t deliberate but it does add a little fun to the scene.

Back to Basics and Beyond are looking for Stencils or Masks – I used a stencil for the floor and for the stone wall, though it may not be super clear.

My third…

BE YOURSELF SHEEP

I’ll be back with more Animaux, but that’s all for now.

Thanks for looking

See you soon
