Stamped Fairy Card

Posted in Cards and tagged with , , , , , , , on 01/04/2010 11:10 pm by Wendy

Products used: KI Memories paper, The Paper Loft paper, stamped image from a friend, Cotton Candy Stickles by Ranger, Darice rhinestones, and CTMH inks, markers, and blending pen.

Challenges:
Flutter by Wednesday #90 - anything goes (butterfly/fairy/angel)
Crafty Creations – glitter & bling!
Papertake Weekly Challenge – sketch #31
Corrosive Challenge – favorite things

Glitter and bling are among my favorite things!  Well, among them and high on the list – really how do I pick just two!!  I have seen many cards done where the papers are all matted but this is the first time I have done it and I have to say I like mine just as much as I like everyone else’s!  I think I will be doing more of this.  I’m not too worried about running out of paper.  ;-)   As I was making this I started wondering – does coloring get hard as you get older??  I don’t have many stamps to color in but I really like the look of them.  Apparantly, I don’t know how to color!  I guess that’s something for me to work on this year.  I just never thought of it as a hard thing to do and now I’m starting to think that it is.  I just love this fairy that was sent to me.  I might have to start buying more stamps to color because I don’t have any detailed ones.  I tend to stick to the simple stamps or two-step stamping because it’s faster.  It is faster but I really am liking the colored look.  This could be a good idea for my Christmas money.  Well, enough rambling.  It’s taken me long enough to make this card without prolonging it any further.  I hope you enjoy it!  Oh – just one more thing – the stamped image was sent to me and I wanted it cut smaller but I could not get it cut straight for anything – therefore I distressed the edges!  It’s a great technique to fool the eye!

    I love the colours you used Wendy!! You did a great job of colouring, but I know what you mean about it being harder than you think!! I’m just learning how to colour with copics and it takes some talent I think!!!
