Fairy Tea-Light!

Vicki here...It's time to share my Craft-Dee BowZ Design Team inspiration with you.  This month, the Craft-Dee BowZ team is creating with the color purple, including ribbon, paint chips and a "Fairy" theme.

Craft-Dee BowZ  March Challenge is again being sponsored by Cute As A Button.  They will be awarding a prize of two digital images to the challenge winner for March.  As always, our theme is "Anything goes and include a HANDMADE bow".  You don't want to miss this opportunity....so be sure to get in on the action.  Visit the Craft-Dee BowZ Blog and link up your entry to the March Challenge post.  It lasts all month long!

And, here is my altered project...

I wanted to create something whimsical and what could be more whimsical than a fairy garden? This  altered wine glass purchased at the Dollar Store makes a great night light for our granddaughter!  The outside is covered with a decoupage technique of glue, tissue paper, and glitter.  The base, glued to a lovely, purple crocheted doily, is covered with a multitude of foliage die cuts, flowers and a butterfly made from paint chips.  A sprinkle of fairies and a beautiful bow, complete the fairy garden!

A closer look at the double loop, purple satin bow created with my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool.

Snowflakes, snowflakes and more snowflakes

Well, here we are heading towards the end of February already. Today is the fourth Tuesday of the month and it's my turn to post a card for Craft-Dee BowZ using this beautiful image by Francesca of Cute As A Button. The image I chose today is named Winter Flurries.

The snowflake border is a die by Whimsy and I added clear Skiddles to the middle of each snowflake. My sentiment is by Whimsy, too. The snowflakes in the top right corner are a die by La-La Land. I coated the snowflakes in the corner with my Sakura Glue Pen and then coated them with Cool Glitter Ritz. You can see the Cool Glitter Ritz below on the snowflakes, her hat, cuffs, collar and boots, too. For the snowman I used Stampendous Snow Glitter. I added the little purple pearls as an accent on the top string of each snowflake.

And the best part is the bow! This is a double loop bow made on my Craft-Dee BowZ tool. My bow tool has so many assorted sizes to fit every project I'm working on. I love my little bow tool and it hangs by it's pretty ribbon right next to my work table. It's the one tool I use on almost every card! I added this little blue snowflake in the middle with a bit of glue.

Our sponsor is Cute As A Button.  Francesca at Cute As A Button is a wonderful artist and I know you'll love her artwork. She's donating two digital images of the winner's choice! Why not stop by her store and take a look at her fabulous images!

 

Thanks for coming over and looking at my card and reading the details of it. I hope you've seen Barb's, Vicki's and Tracey's cards this month...and if you haven't, please stop by the Craft-Dee BowZ blog and take a peek at their posts. I know you won't regret the few moments it takes to see their projects.

 

It's almost the end of the month which means you need to get your cards posted on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog within the next few days. Remember that the challenge is ANYTHING GOES WITH A HANDMADE BOW! 

 

                                                                                              Hugs,
