Danni asked me to be a guest designer for her challenge blog Flutter By Wednesdays today. Theme is fairies, butterflies or angels. A Challenge and fairies? I am so IN! LOL I don’t know why, but I LOVE fairy images.
For my post I chose to show off a card I created a while ago while cyber stamping with Jenn and Lori. I used a digi image from Meljen’s Designs sold at Whimsy stamps called Firefly Fairy.
I printed the image out on Neenah Solar White cardstock and, cut it out with Classic Circle Nestabilities die and colored it with Copic Markers (Dress: BV02, BV04, BV08, trim, hair and shoes: YG23, YG25, YG17, Wings: YG0000, YG00, YG01, firefly: BV0000, BV01, BV02, BV04, Light: Y00, Y11, Y13, stick: E33, E35, E39).
The image was layered on a Canyon Brown cardstock cut and embossed with the next size Circle Nestabilities and paper pierced. The layers were then adhered to a Kraft Eyelet Circle cardstock.
A 3″ x 4 1/2″ strip of Echo Park Springtime paper was adhered to a 4 1/2″ square of the same paper pack. A strip of white lace was adhered underneath the horizontal strip before the layers were stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of Canyon Brown cardstock. Blue Silk Ribbon was tied around the strip before the the layers were adhered to the card base, a 5″ x 10″ piece of Kraft cardstock, folded in half.
The sentiment is from the Whimsy set Handmade Letter Seals. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of Solar White cardstock that had been cut with one of the Tag Trio dies. The tag and a Cosmo Cricket button were attached to the ribbon bow with iridescent curling ribbon. A Recollection Rhinestone swirl on the top left of the card finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have time to play with Fairies, Butterflies or Angels this week. Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles
