Fairy Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday, everybody!

I'm really excited to show you the card I made this afternoon.

This is definitely my favorite of all the cards I've ever made.

I love the image, the paper, and I'm just really pleased

with how it turned out.

Wanna see?

I spent about three hours last night mounting my new

Lili of the Valley stamps on EZ Mount and trimming them out.

Ack! It was so nerve-wracking!

I was so afraid I was going to cut through one of

the images, I probably made it a lot harder than

it had to be. Anyway, it was worth it!

Just look at this little fairy. Isn't she darling?

I colored her in with copics, then added some stickles

to her wings, dress, and the centers

of the flowers in her hair.

To assemble the card, I started with ocean blue

Bazzill cardstock, and covered the bottom with a

leftover scrap of Basic Grey patterned paper.

I stamped my sentiment in the bottom right corner

with Memento ink in Tuxedo black.

Then I laid down some DCVW glittered paper over

the rest of the card front, and covered the seam

with a scrap of glittered Colorbok paper

that I cut with my Fiskars scallop punch.

I sliced into the seam of my card to thread

through some sheer sparkly ribbon from my stash,

then mounted my image with dimensional

adhesive and rounded all the corners.

I hope you like it!

Are you dressing up for Halloween?

I have to for work, so I'm going as the

Roaming Gnome. Should be fun!

Have a wonderful weekend, everybody!
