First of all, I would like to welcome all my new followers! Thank you! I really hope you enjoy my blog and my creations! Welcome to the crazy wagon!!!!
Well... and I thought that after last weekend I was going to take a few days off! no... not possible! Here I was, last night, after the little one went to bed and the hubby away on business, thinking to myself : "today just relax, watch some TV, catch up on Celebrity Big Brother (I'm hooked!!)... I couldn't! So, I put Big Brother on, sat down on my desk and made this card!
I started the card following a sketch provided by a challenge.... but when I started putting things together I wasn't really convinced that I wanted to use that sketch... so I decided to go "free style"!
The image I've used is a new digi from Wee Stamps called "Silver Fairy".
I went for one of my favourite colour combinations, blue with a bit of brown and cream.
The papers I've used are mainly freebies from card-making magazines and from my K&Company paper pad.
I distressed all the edges with the Tim Holtz paper distresser and added blue ink and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye.
I also hand-stitched around the papers with brown thread.
The Promarkers I used to colour the fairy are:
For the hair: Cocoa, Raw Sienna, Sandstone, Buttermilk and Satin.
For her skin: Vanilla, Almond and Blossom.
For hand and leg warmers/cuffs: cornflower, powder blue and lavender.
For wings: Cornflower, Powder Blue and Blender pen.
The dress is paper-pieced with a scrap of paper.
I painted the filigree metal corner and heart buckle with blue acrylic paint and once dry, I used sand-paper to remove some of the paint. I wanted some of the metallic colour to show to give it more of a Shabby Chic look.
Dies used: Tim Holtz Weathered clock
The ticket stamp in the main image is also from Tim Holtz.
The flowers, pearls and filigree metal corners are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I used some string to make a bow; and buttons and Liquid Pearls in Pearly white and Blue to decorate. From local shops.
.
I created the Happy Birthday sentiment on my computer.
