I racked my brains on how to turn this beautiful pixie fairy into a Halloween image so googled broomstick then printed one out when hubby came on the scene and said something along the lines "Surely you´re not using THAT!!!", remember I am being polite here, and from someone who never critises I knew I had gone down the wrong road and a few minutes later he presented me with some garden clippings so voila
my broomstick was created from twigs and a cocktail stick, again the wire from wine bottle came into use to bind these together. Aah for the hidden genius in my hubby, maybe better keep the wine flowing if he is gonna have brainstorms like this rofl.
I have coloured my image with copics and added some glamour dust and glitter for a bit o the ole sparkle. She is popped up on double 3d pads onto this sparkly paper which I cut with my nestie and dp is from an extreme cd.Sorry I am such a bad blogger at the mo but I´m not feeling anywhere near A1 so I am following doctors orders and those of my dear daughter so promise to get back on track asap. -x-
