Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Magic, Craft Room Challenge Things With Wings

Good Sunday Morning to you! We're headed for 106 today,

so a good day to craft inside with the air on!

We had a houseful this weekend, and all stayed up way to late last night, so while it's 

quiet, and all are sleeping in, grabbing some me time to post  another card for SSS Monday's challenge: Magic!

Background made with SSS Bubbles and Bars Stencil, and Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.

Also sprayed the Memory Box die cut with several starburst. colors

The 'magical' fairy is a Judikins Butterfly Fairy wood stamp.

She is twice embossed on PTI's Smokey Shadow card stock, then selectively bleached and copic colored. Added a few stickles to the wings. 

For You sentiment: Waltzingmouse.

Some iridescent rhinestones add to the magic.

Challenge: Magic

Challenge ends in a few hours, just getting this in under the wire!

SSS Monday Challenge

The Monday challenge at Simon Says Stamp is to "Create Some Magic".

I have a book I've read to my grandchildren at least 100 times called, "The Magic Sewing Machine".

It's a charming story about 2 orphan children who are left a sewing machine that turns out to be magic.

With it, they take over and banish the wicked orphanage headmaster, find her gold coins, and 

save all the orphan children. Lovely colors and illustrations.

My card celebrates the children's book.

Tim Holtz' Sewing Blueprint, gold silver and copper embossed on PTI's card stock.

I fussy cut the machine and popped it up over a stamped image.

Background is a stencil of PTI's Cover Plate: Cross Quilt that was ink sponged in

Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Terracotta Tile, New Leaf and Blueberry. (PTI).

The button was solid green, I embossed the center in gold  to look like the gold coins in the story.

You can find the the SSS Challenge here, but you better hurry, ends on Sunday!
