My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Whimsy Moon and Fairy Darcee {Our Crafty Corner}

Greetings Crafty Friends!

Today is my first post for the Our Crafty Corner Challenge!
It begins this morning and continues until the end of the month.


OCC is a month-long challenge, beginning the first Monday of each month.
Every month's theme: ANYTHING GOES


My card features quirky little Fairy Darcee enjoying a lovely evening with her friend Whimsy Moon
offered by this month's sponsor My Stitch Back In Twine digitals.

My Stitch Back in Twine: 
Fairy Darcee
Whimsy Moon
I am using two of the My Stitch Back In Twine digital images in my easel card.

It is night time, and the moon is casting a beautiful glow for Fairy Darcee!



The little shooting stars and crescent moon brass charms have been coated with Silver Pearl Embossing Powder from SNS - in real life, the cosmic shimmer shows up - sorry it does not show with the photos.

I used a few of the flowers on the bottom (right side) of the digi image and added them to the other side of the image, to the little mushroom, and even put tiny ones at the ends of her braids!



More flowers from the fairy base are also sprinkled on the computer generated sentiment:


The White Labels 46 border and Whimsy Moon are "halo'ed" with SNS Sparkle embossing powder:


In fact, there is NO GLITTER on my card!
It is all SNS embossing powders that contain glitter!
(the leafy blue background panel, the wings and clothing of the fairy, the halo around the moon, and the green base on the bottom of the easel card!
The charms have been embossed with Silver Pearl Cosmic EP to remove the brassiness.
