The Crafter's Cafe challenge 108 - What Season are you in

Challenge 108 at The Crafter's Cafe is What Season are you in - make a project reflecting where you are living.
http://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com.au/

It is Autumn here in Australia and I had to make some Autumn ATC cards

I have layered precoloured image from Gecko Galz flower fairies 2 collage sheet onto paper from Gecko Galz Pixie Dust paper set (I have changed colour of the paper)
I have added leaves, flower and butterflies from Scrappiness Designs.
Layered all onto black card.

I love the flower fairies and I have a set of small books with the flower fairies and a verse for each one.  I have put the verse for the Blackberry Fairy onto the back of the ATC.

The Song of the Blackberry Fairy My berries cluster black and thick For rich and poor alike to pick. I’ll tear your dress, and cling, and tease, And scratch your hands and arms and knees. I’ll stain your fingers and your face, And then I’ll laugh at your disgrace But when the bramble-jelly’s made, You’ll find your trouble well repaid. From Flower Fairies of the Autumn by Cicely Mary Barker

As You Like It, Show us your style - Favourite type of stamp digi or rubber

The challenge at As You Like It is Favourite type of stamp digi or rubber (and why)
http://asyoulikeitchallenge.blogspot.com.au/

I have lots of rubber and clear stamps but I mostly use digi stamps now as they are easier on my sore hands and you can resize them to whatever size you want and if they are png stamps you can layer them onto digi backgrounds.
This card uses my favourite digi stamp which Amanda at Faery Ink Stamps made especially for me when I won her first blog challenge.  I told her my favourites were fairies and butterflies and she made a coloured digi  for me, plus my blog header and watermark on this card.

I have embossed mauve card with one of my favourite embossing folders "butterflies".  Added butterfly pattern paper and ribbon.  Printed out precoloured digi onto white card, cut with decorative scissors, coloured edges with purple marker and layered on top.  Added punched leaves, flowers, pearls, mushroom brad and butterfly brad.  All my favourite things.  Layered onto purple card (my favourite colour)

You can buy the black and white digi version of this stamp at the Faery Ink shop
http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/
or you can buy it as a rubber stamp at Sweet Pea Stamps
