Change of scenery

I'm a bit bored with looking at the birds on my blog page so I thought I'd post a couple of pieces that might look a bit out of place.

I don't do cute or whimsical normally but I couldn't resist buying this fairy stamp at the Ally Pally show last month. I've thrown her in with a piece made with my new hibiscus Rollagraph wheel and some shrinkie flowers. Hope you can see a little bit of the shimmer on her wings and the flowery background.


The second is a box I made more than a year ago for a young friend. I suppose it is an exploding box but I hadn't heard of those at the time. I think it was probably inspired by a sample on one of Glenda Waterworth's shows. But there is no stamping on this and no ink either. The message reads "Your smile makes my day a happy one."

Oh Jo, the little fairy is soooo cute and I love shrinkie flowers too. Your border works well and I can see why you wanted it.

But that box is gorgeous. Can you bring it for me too touch on our next day out?

These are both lovely, I really struggle to make the sort of pretty and cute cards that are the kind which are perfect for a little girl's birthday. I think any litle girl would adore that card, it's so pretty. Your exploding fower box is stunning, so beautifully made.
