Dia Daoibh!
Well, the next challenge over at HQFCB is Anything Goes Fantasy with the optional twist of using a fairy. Now, being Irish, I feel I should warn you—our fae folk aren’t the dainty, glitter-and-rainbows type you see in storybooks. Oh no. Irish fairies are more the "move your fence or we’ll curse your cows" variety. Mess with a fairy fort at your peril, folks—those wee folk hold grudges longer than my ex-MIL after you "forgot" her birthday.
But enough folklore—onto the card! I’ve used Stamping Bella’s Edna Needs A Martini, because if anyone knows how to handle magical mischief, it’s a fairy with a cocktail. Coloured her up in Promarkers (... I got carried away, and now she’s basically celebrating the 4th of July). Glittered her wings because, let’s be real, if you’ve got wings and aren’t bedazzled, are you even trying? Mounted her on foam pads for dimension, because Edna deserves to pop right off the page—just like she’d pop into your local for a midweek martini.
Kept the background clean and simple (read: I ran out of patience) with a snazzy piece of polka dot embossed card. Classy and low-effort—my favourite combo.
A few challenges I'm joining in:
- CAS on Friday #310 - Embossing
- Crafty Catz #694 - Anything goes (make us smile)
- Cut It Up #331 - Anything Goes
- Craft Rocket Challenges #126 No Design Paper
- The Card Concept #217 - Patriotic (Edna matches the colours):
Right, I’d best wrap this up before the rain starts again. Summer in Ireland, my foot—more like "guess I’ll wear my wellies with my sundress" season. Here’s hoping the sun remembers we exist before Halloween.
Sláinte,
Wendy R.
(P.S. If you see Irish fae, offer them a drink. It’s the only way to stay on their good side.)

Ah Carol, you’re some woman for one! Edna’s preening her sparkles now like she’s up for Fairy of the Year. As for the Irish fairies—sure they heard “dry July” and legged it. Thanks a mil for the giggle, Wendy x
Your Edna looks fabulous and very sassy. Love the sparkly wings and I love the subtle embossed background. Edna needs to be the star of the show xx
