Halloween Treats...

Morning all :0)
It's not just Monday today...it's 'Half Term Monday' ...Yip!!! So I'm posting at a leisurely pace...can you tell?? Mind you, it won't last long as I'm dashing off in a while and before I know it, it'll be dark outside!! lol
I'd better get on to this weeks Cute Daisy May challenge before my coffee is finished...and it is..... 'Happy Halloween' !!
Now, not being a great Halloween fan, I don't tend to make many cards...and being a meany and not letting the children go 'Trick or Treating' I usually just do a 'spooky tea' at home and give them a few treats instead.
For this weeks challenge I made a start on those....

In case you're wondering, this is a lolly holder :)

Pink Christmas!!

Happy Monday morning to you :)
The challenge at Cute Daisy May this week is ...Pink Christmas!! It's lovely to see all the traditional Christmas colours...but being the creative type that we are...it's good to see variation too. So put aside all those rich golds, deep reds and greens and gather up all those powder and sugar pinks...not forgetting the glitter of course!!! :)

Morning all! ^.^
This weeks Cute Daisy May challenge is something that I find myself going in quite often!!! Circles!!
The Carousel scalloped note has been stamped (wheeled) with my Stampin' Up! Seeing Spots wheel. I have secured the flowers to the back and pulled them forward through the scallops. The image is another gorgeous Cute Daisy May fairy, to which I have made the skirt 3D by using two layers of net and a top layer of vellum...and her wings have been coloured using a Gold Krylon pen (also the wand) and then layered with vellum and Dazzling Diamonds.
Hope you all have a fabby day xx

Away with the Fairies!!

Oh yes!!!! Linnie has just released a brand new sheet with Cute Daisy May Fairies!! They are adorable!!! look!!
I had a quick play earlier and for a change printed onto vellum! I coloured the image on the back of the vellum with Promarkers and added Dazzling Diamonds to her wings and tutu. I have to admit that the camera hasn't done it justice at all, but hopefully you'll like it anyway :)
