With today's card, I'm a bit more in my comfort zone... I've made a monochromatic blue (and white) card, using this cute fairy by Mo Manning, called "Baby Fairy Ayana".
I used this sketch by The Desconstructed Sketch.
Again... layers! more and more layers! yay!
I replaced the hearts with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and leaves from Marianne Creatables. I also added a few butterflies from my new Butterflies border die from Joy Crafts, with pearls from WOC.
Oh my, it's difficult to make a monochromatic card... I spend hours trying to find the right papers, so many kind of blue colours! at the end, I ended up with a blue and white stripes paper from Papermania Pastel Spots and Stripes paper pad, the Tatty Teddy Me to you paper pad and a piece of scrap from my stash.
I also used my new Stamp from Papermania Urban Stamps with a blue ink and used it as one of the background layers. I'm in love with this stamp... I can't wait to use it again and again!
I inked all the paper edges with blue ink for a pop of colour!
As usual, I coloured the image with my Promakers....
It was a delight to colour this image.
from her curly hair to the little dress!
I also attempted to colour the fairy in a darker skin... Hopefully it shows!
For her hair I used: Eggnog, Buttermilk, Sandstone, Raw Sienna and Cocoa.
For her skin: Sandstone, Vanilla and Almond.
For the pebbles: Cold Grey 5, 3 and 1.
For all the rest: Cornflower, Powder Blue and Blender pen.
