This week at
it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "It's Magical!" which just mean that she would like to see those projects that have to do magic or fantasy.
This is what I did.....
I made a baby girl card with this sweet fairy from Mo's Digital Pencil. It's hard to tell in the photo but all those dots on the wings and around the wee skirt have Stickles on them. After all, is a fairy even a fairy without some sparkle?
Alrighty, my friends, I've got to tell you about this thing that happened when I was making this card. First of all, let me just say that I adore Mo's images. I think she's an amazing artist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. Okay, so, when I do any paper piecing for digis, I don't print the whole image out again, I crop it just to the section I'm paper piecing. I mean, it only makes sense, right? Why use the extra ink, and the extra paper when it's not needed? Making this card was no different. I cropped the image so it was just basically the skirt left and set it to print out. It wasn't until I had the purple patterned paper in my hand that I noticed. My immediate reaction was a muttered,
Oh MY.
My next reaction was some forceful snickering because sometimes my humour level is on par with an eight year old boy who loves fart jokes.
Not seeing it? Just take your hand and cover up sweet lil Punky from just below her wrists to the top of her head. Yeppers, you got it.
Now, when you're done either snickering or rolling your eyes at my childishness, why not give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.
