text-align: left;">I've used my new fairy Starr from Lavinia along with the new Christmas tree and small pine trees and of course lots of pink glitter. It's an 8" x 8" card so I used two different shades of pink, which in the first photo look completely different to the actual colours, my second photo shows the pinks, but the card looks rather dull. I've also added a good sprinkling of Chunky White embossing enamel for the falling snow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha1tsaV2Qt6EHTMkRek7no2NU2B2ykSW_LzskgehCrzT2WQV2SEJ2lSYjP7PQs6_0hdrWGYKjSDPlhvY7vxOcrgF3hYSYuhPWsrAO-Xv7ugfE6OBYKbMssvlH6M0xCygOcW6KX5Jqeu4r-t8_rnFeu4qsznOC3alkMVL4exUfmwL-T6EwY-NqUIpqL05w/s1831/thumbnail_PXL_20231118_124517452.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1831" data-original-width="1796" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha1tsaV2Qt6EHTMkRek7no2NU2B2ykSW_LzskgehCrzT2WQV2SEJ2lSYjP7PQs6_0hdrWGYKjSDPlhvY7vxOcrgF3hYSYuhPWsrAO-Xv7ugfE6OBYKbMssvlH6M0xCygOcW6KX5Jqeu4r-t8_rnFeu4qsznOC3alkMVL4exUfmwL-T6EwY-NqUIpqL05w/w393-h400/thumbnail_PXL_20231118_124517452.jpg" width="393" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>The rest of the Design Team have some lovely makes to show, so please pop over to the <a href="https://stampalotdtblog.blogspot.com/">main blog</a> where you will also find all the challenge details.<div><br /><div>This is another scheduled post as hopefully I'm enjoying some winter sunshine and a much needed rest, I'll be very upset if the weather is anything like the scene on my card!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for calling in, I'll catch up with you soon.</div><div>Avril xx</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div></div>Mrs.Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06259794519132429682noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4589968272430434684.post-7823143913195810832023-11-28T09:00:00.078+00:002023-11-28T09:00:00.147+00:00Traditional Christmas at Try it on Tuesday<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-K9Qrm0rwBgHcEbS98i8fI34QoktDtWLx1_P-_Z1Tjvr8qdIN28bmlrt-N68WD5I6hY88UI5MPcj0uIYqTKAailZir5NpWEckECeOJfLbeon7TIi1alX99enT8RqbazSaEEeVPbK33aQbGktYjnHmhcDpvLbiSX8QVV0wH7UH2IZmIv9iL7AZ_HGpQM/s1257/thumbnail_PXL_20231106_125415563%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1205" data-original-width="1257" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-K9Qrm0rwBgHcEbS98i8fI34QoktDtWLx1_P-_Z1Tjvr8qdIN28bmlrt-N68WD5I6hY88UI5MPcj0uIYqTKAailZir5NpWEckECeOJfLbeon7TIi1alX99enT8RqbazSaEEeVPbK33aQbGktYjnHmhcDpvLbiSX8QVV0wH7UH2IZmIv9iL7AZ_HGpQM/w400-h384/thumbnail_PXL_20231106_125415563%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Traditional Christmas is the new challenge at <a href="https://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.com/">Try it on Tuesday</a> and we would love to know what it means to you.

With Halloween approaching I thought I'd share a <b>pumpkin</b> page in the Fairy journal book I'm making for the twins.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I've used Lavinia Pumpkin lodge and some of the Playful Pumpkins, I don't know why, but I really had trouble getting the true colours of this page. The sky is Chipped sapphire Distress ink, the hills Dusty Concord and for the grass I used Forrest moss and Carved pumpkin for the pumpkins enhanced with pencils. There is a feint hue of Twisted citron around my pumpkin lodge, but it seems to have given a very bright green look to my page.</p><p style="text-align: left;">And on the opposite page, the fairies are getting ready for a party and are taking extra pumpkins along to the Pumpkin lodge.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
