We have a new challenge over in the Country View Crafts Facebook challenge group.  The theme is "winging it" so think, angels, fairies, birds etc etc.  You don't need a blog or an Instagram account, just head over to the group and join in with the fun! The link is Here and if you are not already a member just request to join and we will warmly welcome you. It is also be a place you can be the first to hear about workshops, the latest releases etc etc. We have a happy membership of over 350 crafters and we are growing every day. You can enter the challenges up to 5 times as you like as long as you use products or brands which are stocked on the Country View Website.

This is my first "winging it" card.

I haven't used my Lavinia fairies for a while so I decided to get them out of their tin. Some of mine are quite old but Country View Crafts has a very good selection on their website here  I used her with a sentiment from the Visible Image lost for words set available here to make a birthday card.

This is what I got up to;

I used an inky background from my stash made using my Tim Holtz stain sprays available here . I used wilted violet, villainous potion and kitsch flamingo for this one.

I stamped and clear heat embossed the fairy and sentiment using versafine clair nocturne. This is out of stock but there are lots of other colours here 

I used some other colours to stamp some Lavinia foliage then added a little sparkle to her wings. 

I finished off my design with some sequins and white pen details.

Here's a close up

I hope I might have inspired you to give our November "winging it" challenge a go. There is a fab prize up for grabs too for one randomly selected and you can enter up to 5 times!

This is the prize, a bundle of the fab new All and Create washi tape.
