Fairyly Cool Blog Candy!
Hi there,
Thanks for popping in.
Decided to check out the Member’s Sale today,
and pick one of the stamps to blog.
Choices, choices, choices…
Stamps, Stencils, Groovi and other stuff too.
38 pages of it to be precise!
Settled on the tall, funky Fairy Tree House, which was so exquisitely drawn by Mel a while ago.
Very clever.
Stamped it on an inky paper scrap I had lying around.
It comes with a mask, too.
Also very clever.
Loaded one of our brushes with Tenacious Teal
and lightly dusted it through the centre.
See how the house jumps out now?
Now we want to load the outside area of the mask.
Dust the paper with the tiniest amount of talcum powder with this mask. Makes it a lot easier to position when it glides across the paper.
Add a little Old Parchment ink with a make-up sponge
Add a little dimension by drawing in a drop shadow
with black and grey pencils.
Add a couple of the tiny miniature fairies from those super Outline Stamps I spoke about this week…
These ones:
The Toadstool Collection has all the fairies and whimsy hares.
Wrap around an A5 canvas, and seal with Mod Podge.
Done.
Very simple, but perfect for the girl who loves fairies and whimsy.
Join a Clarity Club today,
and you too can access the Half-Price Sale.
How about some blog candy….
Suggest a title below for this artwork, and I will pick a random winner tomorrow. That winner will be sent the canvas
and a £20 gift voucher!
Back to the garden.
Have a lovely evening wherever you are.

Love & hugs
Barb

Beautiful. Brilliant sale, thank you very much x
What a fantastic bit of art! The blue behind and the colouring on top really make the house stand out. I keep logging on to the sale and browsing through, not put in an order yet but the list is growing! I love that I can take my time safe in the knowledge that nothing sells out.
My title would be:
Fairy Penthouse.
Evening bloggy friends, sending love and hugs to everyone. Xx

This is just so beautiful Barb. I'd call it 'A fairy whimsical day". Such fabulous colours. Xx
Lovely!
My title is : The Fairies come calling!
BBQ in the garden for us. Enjoy your evening xx
Beautiful Barbara the teal certainly made the fairy tree house stand proud.
Thank you for doing the sale even though I can't really get anything this time loads I want but not got the pennies 😢
I think the title for this masterpiece should either be ' the house that fairies built or ' this ole fairy house ' (shaking Stevens without the fairy lol)
Ooooo my title would be "Fairy Dust Dreams" and yes I have already bought from the sale section which came yesterday, it would have been rude not too xx
hugs Diane xx
Fabulous canvas! My title would be "Could be a bit 'Harey' if he pulls on that rope!" X
Meet me by the fairy tower is suggestion. Fab tutorial
Hi Barbara, lovely artwork. Thank you for sharing. And the inking through tip, another one for my brain to store marked with a highlighter. And thank you for my next drop shadow instalment too. I think I'm starting to get there…. Hope you're enjoying your garden. Bit warmer up here today, still a cool wind though. And the sun came out to play, yay.
My title attempt –
Ta-da! Oh, wait a minute, we've forgot the stairs to the penthouse…
Love Brenda xx
Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can take up the biggest space in someone's heart.
Hi everyone who reads and doesn't comment. Are you coming to say hi and leave Barbara some appreciation today?
My suggestion is, "Is the penthouse free this week "
Have a great weekend all.
I loved this blog. My suggestion " what a Mel of a house " x enjoy your time in the garden

'Fantasy Highrise fly-past' xx
Inspiring as always Barbara. My title would be
'Fantasy Highrise fly-past' xx
The fairies were so pleased with their finished house, but Thumper wasn't sure – he preferred to live underground!
Love this. Surely it has to be Clarity Towers?
Lovely! I love fairies! How about Treemendous Towers? Or Fairies' Folly? Keep up the good work. Loving Groovi right now. Thank you 😁 xx
I love this piece of art and would be so pleased to give it a good home! My title is 'Fairy, fairy – quite contrary, just how high did your house grow? xxx
Hi bloggy friends – just watched the Roger Federer match, brilliant! So glad that he won – he has to be the nicest man in tennis! I have had a very lazy day, with my feet up and watched the tennis. Recovering from a busy, but wonderful day yesterday. Hope that you have all had a good day – whatever you have been doing! Love and hugs, Gilly xxx
Hi Gilly it's been tennis, Grand Prix and Tour de France and cricket here, hubby flits between all 4! Good thing Barbara's not on! Xxx
Lovely artwork. My title would be, "All I have to do is Dream"
Hi Barbara – how fabulous, my title would be 'Our forever home' Thanks for such wonderful inspiration again – hugs and love x
Rest home for Groovi Lovers, no need for baked beans, mushrooms are free!
Beautiful piece of artwork. I actually have everything to make this. My title would be "Our First Home…Dreams Do Come True". Have a great weekend.
This reminds me of Enid Blyton's folk of the far away tree, so my title would be "fares of the Clarity tree"
Gorgeous artwork Barbara. My suggestion would be ' A Fairy Nice Place To Live'
Happy crafting, Sandra x
Lovely picture Barbara. My title would be . . . And the fairies said "Lovely house you have hare".

I would call this lovely piece of art
'Fairy tower's. Enjoy your weekend x
Ahhhh, some of my favourite stamps! I love the whimsical world, my title would be "Rabbits can't fly"!!
Do you have to be a member of the clarity stamp club to be able to buy in the sale or will being a member of the Groovi club be enough?
Julie just go onto the members area and you should have access to it all. I'm groovi and stamp clubs and I could see stencils too so it's the whole lot as far as I'm aware. Have a look, there's some amazing things on sale xx
Hi Julie, being a Groovi club member means you get access to all of the sale items. Just log in on the website, then click on "member's sale" on the top bar, and fill your boots!!! 13 pages of goodies to choose from. Happy shopping xx
Lovely art work. "Bugs Bottom" only thing comes to mind. Suffering from heat exhaustion having worked all day on the allotment. Silly me.
Anne (Reading)
Oh Anne take care of yourself xxx
Ok, we're up this high, who lives on the top floor!
Fabulous piece of artwork!
I'd call it
Hey Hare… No one's home!
Enjoy your evening.
Love and hugs! Xxxx
Used this stamp for a new home card recently, perfect but wish I had got the mask so reckon I need that. Lovely canvas. 'High rise fairies' Best from me today not feeling brilliant. X
Lovely artwork as always, Barbara. Mxx
Title:'Harebnb'
Beautiful, id name it ' a sprinkling of fairy dust' xx
Hi Barbara
I must go and have another look at the sale, I hadn't realised this one was in the sale and it's one ibpve been admiring for ages. I've had a peep but haven't ordered yet. Love they way you have put the colour through the middle and added the drop shadow, it really does pop doesn't it. My title would be 'fairies on their way home after a busy day at work'. Enjoy your evening in the garden, it's been another wonderful day hasn't it.
Love Diane xxx
Lovely art work Barbara.
My suggestion is, 'A hare dream, I wish I was a fairy and fly so high'.
X
I have used this stamp as a base for house-warming thank you cards. Have a trial card salted away somewhere so must look it out. My title idea – is a mish mash of Dutch and English – 'Welcome to our herenhuis ' i.e. Hare in House. (Herenhuis translates as a mansion or villa.) ;~}
Let your dreams fly!
Lovely art work as always Barbara. Xx
I was 1st , I was 1st ….I bags the penthouse! xxxxx.
I was 1st , I was 1st ….I bags the penthouse! xxxxx.
Not Trump Towers. I said Tree Stump Towers!!
You can tell by that funny little hare-piece on the grass!
Love this stamp xx
Hare raising fairy tales
Fairy towers. Busy evening here two younger grand sons 2-5 both sleep know very excited sleeping in lounge so better to bed as Jacob and Jonah rise very early but hopefully not as were late to bed fingers crossed xxx
Our Perfect Home! xxx
Hi all, my offering 'Hare Raising'. Stunning piece of work Barbara! x
I thought Fae Towers – similar already been suggested! This is one stamp I have my eye on in the sale! So hard to choose as so many gorgeous options – although a little startled to find how many I already have – lucky me x
Just gorgeous, has to be A Midsummer Nights Dream.
Barbara I must tell you this, when Glastonbury finishes there's loads of tents and camping gear left behind and some firefighters go up from Cornwall and collect as much as they can and bring it back, clean it and auction it for charity. Great recycling. I think they have done this for a few years. xx
Love this stamp. It's a hairy, fairy house.
X Chris
Chris above was so close to mine so changed it now to "The Higglety Pigglety Dream Home. Still catching up on your last weekend shows,. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.xx
Hi to all you bloggy friends, hope you're having a great weekend.xx
This is gorgeous artwork Barbara and love the colours of the paper and the complementary colours you have added. My title would be 'On the Fairy Wishlist'. x
Love these "magical" stamps! I'm thinking- 'Dusk in my garden'? or 'My Garden Dream'.
Come to my garden when the day is at its end, when purple shadows lengthen and the stars begin to twinkle. Step carefully where you walk, lay down upon the grass and make your self so small. Shhh, be very quiet, oh so still. Moonlight glow now turns my garden into a magical place. Quiet. Look! Look there! among the mushrooms, and over there– by the base of the willow where in day light I only see twisted branches, now tiny lights are coming on. Did you hear that? the soft flutter of little wings? A tinkling of a laugh? Gossamer wings glittering in moonbeams. Whispers of fairy voices near and over there. Still, be very still the magic of a fairy world in my moonlit garden has begun.
My suggestion would be "Fairydust Towers". x
Love the funky house, and would call it "Hey mum, look what the fairies are doing to our house!" Had a nice time this week reorganising my clarity stash and seeing if I had enough fairy pennies to add to it. Might just manage the gorgeous cockerel stamps….maybe a bit more! xx
Great stamp. I love the art work. I would call it Buzzing the twilight tower.
I have this stamp and love it. This would be my dream home with my studio at the top,where the fairies could flitter in and out of open windows chattering away to me.
My title is my Dream Home.
Mags
Hello Barb, a great step by step. This stamp is great, and can be used for allsorts of themes, but I do love the fairies. Great suggestions for a title, and I cannot think one up that has not been taken, so good luck to all that have had a go. Have a great day all. Bx
Hi Barb,
I suggest "Fancy Fabulous Fairytales"
Rolf xxx
Delightful piece of work, as always. My suggestion would be Fairy beautiful x
Superb, would just love that stamp, its so quirky. Great tutorial. My name for the art would be "who lives in a house like this"
Its gorgeous, I look forward to reading your blog everyday
My idea for a title is Hey bunny mi casa, su casa xxx
Hi Barbara

my suggestion. Fawlty towers
"Reaching for fairy heaven".
Love it Fran x
" Granny's in the attic,
The kids live here for free!
The rabbit's in the garden…..
The basement's all for me! "
It's a FAMILY TREE….
I would call it Faerietopia x
Stairway to Heaven, Or The Pixie Palace…..Castle in the Clouds, so many options….just like the Clarity Sale….Happily waiting for my Happy Parcel 🙂
It's alright for you, you both can fly !!!
My suggestion for the title of the artwork. Good luck everyone!!
"A hare's breadth from magic."
Gorgeous, love the fairies and background.
Hugs
Linda xxx
Great art work. My suggestion is "Is this our floor Mr Hare?".
This reminds me of Enid Blyton folk of the far away tree, so my title would be " faries of the Clarity tree"
My suggestion for a title "Fairy Heights and a Sprinkling of Delights"
How about Harey-Fairy Heights? x
Lovely picture, my name for it. Enchanting dreams.
