I feel so lucky and honoured to join this fabulous team and I am really excited to get to "work" with such talented ladies! There are two other new DT members as well, Dot and Carissa.Wooo Hooo:-)!

I hope you will be able to join our challenges and... be ready for Christmas! Our current challenge is V for Vertical, with a choice of 2 sketches... Yes, that's the one I entered with my previous card, since I did not know I was on the DT:-)!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day, as beautiful as mine:-)!

Juste quelques mots pour vous faire partager ma joie:-)! J'ai été retenue pour faire partie de la DT d'ABC Christmas et j'ai encore beaucoup de mal à y croire!

Stars, glamour dust, diamond glaze and a few challenges:-)

Hello all! I hope you are all well despite the awful weather... I have a bad cold and a sore throat, like many children and pupils, they are so nice, they keep sharing...:-)! But let's talk about cards... I have made another one using a Tiddly Inks image, I love them and to tell you the truth, I have bought... a few... no, OK, many, too many (says hubby:-)!

Coucou! Une autre carte avec une image Tiddly Inks... J'en ai acheté quelques-unes, euh... beaucoup dit ma moitié... et quelques challenges...

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Tiddly Inks - Diamond Glaze or Crackle Accent

Papertake Weekly - Sketch

Flutterby Wednesday - # 124 Sparkle and Shine

The Creative Cottage - #24 Bling It On

ABC Challenge - E is for Easel

Here is the top of the card...

The whole card...

Stamps: Fairy Fae Catches a Star Tiddly Inks (digital), Sentiment LOTV

Copics: B00, BG000, C1, 3, E000, 00, 11, 25, 29, 31, RV02, 00, 000

DPs: Magnolia (Stars), Tim Holtz

Tools: MS Doily punch, Star Punch (Woodware?), Magnolia Die (Swirl), Ink Blending Tool with Spun Sugar DI

Other: Diamond Glaze, Glamour Dust, Ribbon and gems from stash, Brown ColorBox Ink for the sentiment

And a few close-ups and explanations...

Quelques gros plans et explications...

And a bad picture :-( with a lot of light and flash to show the diamond glaze

Voici une horrible photo, faite avec plein de lumière et de flash pour montrer le Diamond Glaze

The fairy's wings, grey stars (and pink stars on the ribbon), the sentiment and swirl have all been made the same way: I mixed Diamond Glaze and Glamour Dust then applied with a brush... The pink stars are white CS, punched then coloured with RV02 Copic. The stars for the sentiment were handmade, I added some Spun Sugar DI on the edges, then Diamond Glaze + Glamour Dust.

Pour les ailes de la fée, étoiles grises, étoiles roses sur le ruban, le sentiment et le swirl, j'ai mélangé vernis Diamond Glaze et paillettes Glamour Dust d'abord, puis appliqué le mélange à l'aide d'un pinceau... Les petites étoiles roses ont été perforées dans du papier blanc, puis coloriées au Copic RV02, les étoiles du sentiment sont faits main, toutes ont été recouvertes de mon mélange...

And a last view...

Phew! That's it! I hope you are all having a great weekend, see you later, will come and visit your blogs soon!

C'est TOUT! Bon week-end à toutes et à très vite! Bises,

Hugs,

Delphine xx
