Welcome to the Paper Players challenge, with a sketch that is sure to inspire you!
Birthday Fairy
If you follow my blog, you know that the Pressed Petals Designer Paper is among my favorites.
I used the largest, square, Stitched Shapes Die to cut the beautiful floral print, and beneath the square is a 4″X 2″ piece of the burlap paper. I glued the burlap paper to a layer of 4″X 5 1/4″ Very Vanilla Cardstock, which is glued to a Thick Very Vanilla card base. The Pressed Petals, floral print, is layered for thickness, and raised on Dimensionals.
Now for the cute, New Wonders fairy, my focal point! First, I stamped her in Early Espresso Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock, and used my Paper Snips for fussy cutting.
I colored the fairy with Light Stampin’ Blends: Soft Suede (hair) Ivory (skin) Cherry Cobbler (dress) Old Olive and Smoky Slate (pen).
TIP: Use tiny dots with the brush end, so it doesn’t bleed over the lines. Take your time, and reading glasses help a lot!
I raised the fairy on Dimensionals, so she could write “Happy Birthday” (from her New Wonders Stamp Set) in Early Espresso Ink.
If you think this fairy is as cute as I do, and you’d like to order the stamp set, clicking on this picture will explain how to order it. Plus, all of today’s supplies are in my Product List below.
