Love is in the air

This week at the Pixie Cottage we are celebrating love! As always, we also have a sketch to play with and you can choose to use both theme and sketch or choose one.

My project this week was this fun box! I took an unfinished wood box, inked the edges, layered papers and then finished it off with Modge Podge and lots of flowers. Once dry I cut out my water colored bunny and was done! I think nothing says I love you like a beautiful bunch of flowers!

I can't wait to see what you enter in the Pixie Cottage Challenge this week!

Love comes Softly

I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday break...I know I have!
Today I am back with a gorgeous new image from PriscillaStyles. This image is from her love collection and is called Heart Wreath.
I colored this image with my brand new Promarkers :) I have been playing around with them during the Christmas break, and while I still have a ways to go, I have been having fun.

Angels Among us

I am so excited to share this special release from Digital Delights! One of Wendy's customers requested some angel images and Wendy did not disappoint! I think she is just the sweetest image!

I paired her with some wonderful paper from Making Memories and gorgeous cardstock from the Paper Temptress. This mica/metallic is one of the prettiest shades of ice blue I have seen.
