A little while ago I was lucky enough to win one of the new Fairy Belles ‘n Whistles stamps as blog candy. I was so excited. I love Fairies! A few days ago a friend of mine came over just to color and I finally got my new stamp dirty.
I stamped the image on Solar White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. It was cut out with a Circle Nestabilities die and the Out of the Box Technique and colored the image with Copic Markers (Mushroom: E30, E31, E33, E35, E37 Dress: RV000, RV00, RV10 Wings: BG0000, BG10, BG11 Flower: Y13, Y15, Y17, E97, E99, E29 Leaves and grass: YG01, YG03, YG17 Skin: E000, E01).
The fairy was covered with a mask cut out of Eclipse Tape, the Circle die was added again and a few cloud dies cut with the Cloud Die-namics die were added. The sky was airbrushed with Copic Marker B01. The circle was adhered to a piece of Canyon Brown cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Beaded Circle Nestabilities die.
A 5″ strip of white cardstock was cut and embossed with one of the Parisian Accent dies. The strip was adhered to a 1 3/4″ x 5″ strip of MME Lime Twist Fly A Kite patterned paper. The strips were adhered to a 4 3/4″ x 5″ piece of the same paper pack. White Organdy Ribbon was tied around the vertical strips.
The layers were first adhered to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Canyon Brown cardstock, then to the card base, a 5 1/4″ x 11″ piece of yellow cardstock (SU, new color) folded in half. The image layer was adhered to the card with dimensionals.
Another die from the Parisian Accent pack was used to cut and embossed a small corner embellishment. It was adhered to the top right of the card. The sentiment is from Verve’s Kind Word Stamp set. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with one of the Fancy Tag dies and colored with Copic Marker B000o.
The sentiment panel was adhered to the lower right of the image. Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones were adhered to the Beaded circle, the sentiment panel and the corner decoration.
To add some sparkle to the card, Stardust Stickles was added to the sentiment oval as well as the Fairy Wings. Yellow Stickles was added to the yellow flowers on the dress as well as to the flower the fairy is holding. Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones finish off the card.
This month Inspiration Emporium Challenge is to use Stickles or Sparkly Fluff on your project. You have until the end of the month to enter the challenge for an opportunity to win a $50 shopping spree at IE.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles
P.S.: I am not sure how often I will post this June. The reality of prepping for the move is setting in. I have to prep for my June tutorial, June class, get the house ready for the mover and prep for CHA. It feels a bit overwhelming all over sudden. I wish I had a time machine and could fast forward to when we are settled in Oklahoma already.

Oh boy is this card gorgeous or what?!?! Love your coloring, and the added touch of Stickles was perfect for this image!! Good luck managing all that stress! I wish I could offer suggestions, but my coping mechanism (to just ignore until it goes away!!) gets me in a lot of hot water sometimes LOL.
Beautiful, Beate! I adore those fairy wings, and she looks so delicate…super colouring! xx
Oh Beate, I know everything will work out just fine for you. I will miss seeing a post on a daily basis, but will be so happy to see a new one when you do.

Beautiful card Beate… I feel for you on the upcoming move. I packed my entire stamp room last week, working on it two full days and nights. It’s on it’s way to Texas right now. I REALLY wish I had kept some things back for me to piddle with in the middle of this move. ~ Pam
So happy for you Beate!! I know how much you love fairies. Congrats on this win!! You did such beautiful work with her. Love your coloring and your colors as well as the design.

so sweet, lovely coloring and like your airbrushed background…. I know how rough moving is in the military, and I never had all that other stuff going on at the same time, wish you all the best and as least amount of stress as possible.
this is beautiful. I love the image and your color choices. I need a lesson on that.
have a great weekend.

This is beautiful Beate. Good luck with moving. I know it can be so stressful…
Beautiful coloring and card Beate! Good luck with everything on your “to do” list! I know what you mean about time. I have cut back severely this year with my blogging just to keep up with my everyday chores, lol!
Hi Beate! When will you be here in OK? Anything I can do on this end to help. let me know! Looking forward to meeting you!
oh my word! This is such a beautiful image! Love her wings!
I love fairies too and this one is a real charmer! You have colored her beautifully. Good luck with the move; I am a Navy kid and we moved all the time too, what a stressful thing to accomplish!
COMPLETELY adorable!!
