I Believe In Fairies

Happy Sunday all! I hope you're having a nice weekend & enjoyed THE WEDDING on Friday!
Don't they make such a lovely couple!
Now on to business!! LOL
Today sees the beginning of a new Challenge over at The Crafty Pad
Challenge #119 is Swirls & Pearls



We're sponsored this week by the fantastic Crafty Ribbons!


They are offering this lovely bundle of Bursting Blooms Ribbons as their prize!


The DT were asked to use one of Debbie's Fab Fairy Chloe images this week!


I chose this one!
 The images available on both The Crafty Pad Designs & Cardmaking Downloads
there are some great matching circle & ticket sentiments too!


I followed the sketch from Truly Scrumptious Challenge 56  as the basis for my card


The papers I have used were a freebie from Joanne Barsby last May & they provide my swirls!
I added some self Adhesive pearls & some little butterflies punched from the papers using my Martha Stewart punch & some white satin ribbon from my stash!



I coloured the fairy with promarkers & resisted the urge to colour the mushroom red & white!
I'm not sure that you should use glitter with pearls but her wings just cried out for a bit of sparkle!
I used a quickie glue pen & diamond sparkles for this!
I did the same to the edge of the image & the sentiment which were both cut out using Scallop Circles Nestabillities on my Big Shot!


I'm not sure you can make them out but I used a corner die to cut out ornate corners with the darker pink paper & stuck to the outside corners of the panels

This card is for my nieces birthday who, as I type, is in hospital having her second baby boy!
