and within 10 minutes of getting home this happened....
It then cooled down and rained for a few hours...true British weather...4 seasons in one day.
My card today is a fairy one...a little bit of magic to cheer us in darkest winter. I had a commission to make some fairy cards for a lady in the USA via my Etsy shop..and this is one of them. The stamps are Lavinia and I made the inky background with my distress ink.
This little fairy says that the clouds are lined with silver...I think ours were lined with hail yesterday!
If you are interested in my fairy cards there are a couple of new ones up for sale in my Etsy shop here and here. As well as making new stock for Dotty's Tea House I am trying to get my little Etsy shop restocked too...the shelves there recently have been very bare.
I would like to enter my fairy card into the following challenges;

I missed the hail storm yesterday cos I was up at a Powertex workshop in Nottingham (I live up the road from you in Sutton) but heard about it - and saw some remnants of the hail - when I got home. amazing.

I find hail fascinating, kind of like fairies, seldom seen in person. Well, to tell the truth, I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a fairy in person. Your card is magical.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Jane,
ReplyDeleteMy! That's crazy weather all right ;-)
LOVE your fairy card. I must remember to try masking to create a moon and silhouette stamping on top. The effect truly is magical!
