I have a card that I would like to share with you today using a Lili of the Valley fairy:
Isn't she so pretty? Here is my completed card:
The recipe for the card is:
Papers: Basic Grey "Blush"
Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts
Ribbon & Lace: From My Stash
I have coloured the image with Copics as follows:
Skin: E21 E00 E000 R20 R30
Hair: E47 E57 E34
Dress & Wings: R01 R00 R000
Flowers & Ribbon: R39 R29 R27 R24 R22 R21 YG67 YG63
I have also coloured around the edges of the card with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
I have used a cloud template for the stamped background and used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink with an Ink Duster to create this effect. I got this idea from Bev Rochester and really enjoyed doing it (thanks Bev) - but I can tell ya, I was twitching like mad hoping that it was all gonna turn out alright as it took my a while to colour this little beauty in.
I have used Glamour Dust on the fairy wings and edged those beautiful roses in Walnut Stain Distress Ink before giving them the Star Dust Stickle treatment:
You might even catch a glimpse of my new favourite technique of edging ribbon with distress ink - again! (Are you getting bored of this yet ;o) ) - I got so carried away I even added some ink to the lace!
Finally my picture of the inside of my card which follows the same layout as the front:

Anything Goes Challenge where the theme this week is Pick of the Bunch - Flowers.

See ya all soon -take care.

Hi Hazel
Thanks for choosing to follow me. Your card is really beautiful, the colouring and embellishments are perfect. I really love the way you've decorated the inside too, it looks so professional.
To answer your question, I got my Flex Markers from Create & Craft. I believe they will be the only stockists of them until September.
I hope you have a great day.
