The Pixie Cottage Challenge #87 - Fussy and Fancy

It's Wednesday so it means another challenge here at The Pixie Cottage!
As always we have 2 parts to the challenge and you can choose either or both to play along with.
We have a fabulous sketch and our theme this week is "Fussy and Fancy". It's time to go all out and add embellishments, ribbons, lace, embossing, anything you like, just make it as fussy and fancy as you can!


Remember you can use the sketch or the optional technique or both!
The randomly picked winner will win two stamps of their choice from the Pixie Cottage Collection. The winner will be announced on the Friday after the challenge ends.

We have guest designer Jane from Janes Lovely Cards joining us for September

NEW Rubber in the house!!! and More Blog Candy!!

New Rubber in the House!! 
(read through the post for blog candy)
Here I am back as promised with our latest rubber stamps.

We have some adorable new images from Alisa Ramirez as well as couple from ArTish as well!!  For all you Sandra Hammer fans, new stamps to follow soon!
First of all, you are going to love these teddy bears!! Aren't they the cutest ever?!

And another sweet stamp of Buffy the Bunny, in fact a little set.  There is a sentiment included with this image.


and from ArTish we have another wonderful background/scene stamp, perfectly sized to use to build scenes with other stamp brands like Magnolia, TGF and CC Designs.  It also would work well as a stand alone stamp, so nostalgic.  In addition, ArTish brings you some oh so sweet cupcakes, and I have added a couple of sentiments to make this a set!


So there you have it, The Pixie Cottage's five new rubber stamps!!  Oops, wait a minute, I forgot about our a new  Friend sentiment stamp duo!! It is available for only 4.99 and comes on cling foam.

----------------------

I also wanted to show you this beautiful projects that my friend  Janiel (From My Little Pieces of Art) has made with these Teddies!  Doesn't she just do the best job?  I can almost feel the fur on these bears she has colored.  Thanks Jan~~ you are a fantastic friend! (and fantastically talented too!!)

I will pick one lucky winner who will receive THREE of the new Pixie Cottage stamps. (the stamp she chose as her favorite and two othes of my choosing from the new releases!)
