Dia Daoibh!
The next HQFCB challenge is Anything Goes Fantasy with a genie twist—because who hasn’t daydreamed about finding a magic lamp and wishing for lucky lottery numbers? (Though knowing my luck, the genie would be on a coffee break, and I’d end up with "eternal patience" or some other useful nonsense.)
Onto today’s card! I raided my "vintage" paper stash (circa 2018—practically antique at this point) and paired it with a sentiment from a free stamp set from a 2015 magazine (because nothing says "fantasy" like hoarding supplies and craft magazines for a decade). The star of the show is this sassy genie from Create A Smile’s Flaschenpost set, who clearly knows I’m three wishes away from chaos. Coloured him with Promarkers, then went full magpie with iridescent glitter (obviously) and silver thread.
A few challenges:
- Alphabet Challenge - K is for keep it simple
- Simply Clean and Simple - SEP : Birthdays
- Craft Rocket Challenges #129 Dots and/or Stripes
- Krafty Chicks #784 - Birthday
- I Love Promarkers #590 - Anything Goes or Gnomes
Wishing you all the luck of a genie who actually listens—and may your weekend involve less glitter cleanup than mine. (Spoiler: It’s everywhere. Everywhere.)
Sláinte,
Wendy R.
P.S. Pro tip: If your genie offers unlimited wishes, ask for more storage first. Crafters know what's important. 😂
