Good morning everyone
Well it's Saturday, it's 8 o'clock and it's a new challenge on our "Less is More"
I always think of It's Friday....It;'s 5 o'clock....It's Crackerjack lol
Apologies to foreign visitors or young ones, come to that
as you will have no idea what I'm talk about lol
Our theme week we have chosen
Here's what I have come up with
For my first card I used a digi image form Stitchy Bear I saw it on one of our LIMettes blogs, Caro a while ago and had to have it Isn't it just adorable!
I dragged the digi onto a blank document, then added the sentiment to fit onto the right hand space. I used the tetx box method, we have expalined in the past. The font is Fontasia V2 here
I went over the 'Magical' with a zig glue pen and sprinkled with Glamour Dust for a sparkly effect. I also added gltter to the fairy wings. he top has a panel of swiss dots and a cute little fairy castle charm tied onto the ribbon.
For this silhouette I stamped a silhouette style stamp from Stampin Up, Ornate Flowers, in black onto Melon Mambo card stock. I lined up the small stamp by eye as there were only 3 of them and the set I have is a cling which you attach onto a acrylic block, making for easy lined up design. I trimmed one edge with a scallop edge punch, also Stampin Up and then attached to a black card base. It is an A6.....Approx 15cm x 10.5cm. The gems are in an orange shade, from Doodlebug.
Thanks for stopping by as always and for all your wonderful comments
They mean a lot

Mandi - great cards - I particularly like the dramatic pink and black with the lovely ornate flower! Off to have a think!
Gorgeous cards - the digi image is fabulous. I love the striking pink and black though.

Wow just love your silhouette cards very dramatic Luv Sue x
Fabulous cards, thought the black and pink one was die cut it it looks so dimensional
Gorge cards Mandi, the pink and black one is particulary striking. I remember Peter Glaze and Leslie Crowther on Crackerjack. Don't think today's kids would think much of a Crackerjack pencil, do you?
Very beautiful silhouette cards Mandi, they are striking!
Have a great weekend!
Warm hugs
Maarit

Mandi, FABULOUS cards! Thanks for such wonderful inspiration. I especially love the first card...great sparkly sentiment!
Two beautiful cards! LOVE the black and pink one...it really pops! The image on the first one is really awesome too!
Fabulous cards the second is my favourite, it's just so classy Mandi! Thank you for the wonderful challenge and inspiration, Gay xx
Thats awesome!
These are both fabby my friend, the fairy one is just terrific! I really don't know how you manage to fit in all your amazing cards with the sheer volume of work you produce!
Great stuff yet again.

How lovely these are Mandi! I love the mystical fairy on the unicorn with that beautiful charm, and the pink and black card is really striking too. VERY impressed at you being able to line the images up by eye - can't even look at a stamp without my stamp-a-majig! Vx
Very magical indeed Mandi....love the sweet image :)
Oh what a blast from the past..Crackerjack!! Stu-pot was my generation...oooo I could crush a grape!!

Fabulous cards Mandi. I love the unicorn image - it is gorgeous. Sue.x
Two fab cards, the second does look like it is a 3d rather than a stamp.
Linbyx
Both of these are great cards Mandi! Thanks for the challenge and the inspiration.
Enchanting cards as usual! The Image is so cute and I love the font. Your second card is so good, it is so much easier to line up stamps using a clear block.
Off to find the font now, thanks for the link.
Love both cards Mandi, but I think the pink and black one is stunning.
These are so pretty, Mandi. The first one with that lovely fairy has so many special touches, and the black and pink one is quite dramatic! Ann Y.
beautiful cards Mandi. I really love the one with the hot pink. I was very inspired by it and tried to use color on my card too, but it was awful so I took a different direction .... thank fully. :D
Thank you for another wonderful challenge.
Carole
Wow, both cards are so unique Mandi~ ;)
I love the "Magical" image! You've sparkled it up perfectly. Hope you're not making me choose-I love pink and black combined so there is something magical in that card too!
These cards are simply lovely.....
I love both cards, but especially the first. The LiM blog has been such an eye-opener for me - how you can include so much detail and yet be clean and simple at the same time! I love the embossing; it contrasts beautifully with the silhouette. Thank you for your comments on my blog. :)
Wonderful cards as usual Mandi! I absolutely love the fairy - the wings are magic!
Two fabulous cards Mandi - I adore fairies and the colour pink, so both of your beautiful creations tick the boxes for me!
Thanks for another fabulous challenge - Sylvia xx
Both are stunning, but I have to say that Melon Mambo is my favorite.
Gorgeous cards Mandi. The top one is so pretty, I love the image and your sentiment matches perfectly. Love the second one with the damask design, love the colours xx
