Something Cute

Challenge #26 on Phindy's Place is ... make something cute. What fun! I could not resist the "flowertop fairy mushroom" image, so bought it, and what a super image it was to work with. So, here's my "cute" card.

Because the purple background paper I chose, came with the stunning glitter embossing (top right), I decided to keep the card very simple. The fairy was printed onto a light green paper, and the edges were stippled with purple and blue, to blend into the background of the card. I added lots of clear stickles to the wings. On the left is a piece of very wide purple ribbon, onto which I sewed some olive green organza ribbon which I gathered and scrunched up, then tacked onto the wide ribbon. Here and there I glued a few green glitter gems. And that's it! The close up of the fairy (below) shows the wing bling, and the colouring with my fluorescent gel pens, and Copics for the hair and skin (haven't quite mastered the hair technique yet, but was my first time with Copics, so be patient with me, I'll get it right soon!).

Phindy's Place challenge #25

The challenge for this week on Phindy's Place was to make a card from this sketch. What a super sketch this was to work with!

My card is made 'mostly' with goodies that I recently bought, but was too stingy to use! Ever felt like that? You buy this absolutely stunning paper, and then can't face the thought of putting a pair of scissors to it! Silly really, but I'm only human. I chose the colour pink as it is breast cancer month.

So, I used:
Pettycoat Patty from Phindy's Place; W&M pink floral papers; a "Sweet Friend" sticker I've had for ages; piece of beige lace; paper flowers; stickles; and Copics and gel pens. I cut off the image at the bottom of the dress, sewed some lace to another image, then glued the feet back in place. I've posted a close-up of the dress and lace.
