It's all about fairies at the One Stop Craft Challenge

Hello again

This is my third post - this time for the  One Stop Craft Challenge,  and it's all about Fairy Tales.  This week we are sponsored by the Sassy Design Studios, who gave us some great images to play with.  Unfortunately my printer was playing up, and everything I printed was coming out smudged so I have used a favourite LOTV image. 



For this card I have followed the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I have coloured with Copics, with a liberal dosage of stickles as well.  I have then very lightly brushed around with distress inks.  My papers are some very old Cloud 9 design, with a dark pink base card.  My fairy is surrounded by lovely pale pink roses which remind me of my favourite blowsy pale pink and peachy roses in the garden, which are out a few weeks too early.  I have added lace and pearls, as embellishments.





I am entering this for the following challenges:

  8. this is oh so pretty! :) Gorgeous Val, this is absolutely gorgeous.

    One of my fave LOTV images, beautifully coloured and the darker contrast of your backing card looks amazing.

    Fabulous florals, DP and punches too!

    If I could 'favourite' a card on blogger, like I can on youtube, this would make my list :)
