well hello and happy friday!! hope everyone had a super week !
for this weeks challenge over at
papercutz our awesome DT leader
mary has asked us to do a feminine birthday card using a handstamped or digi fairy/pixie butterfly or bird using ONLY the colors pink, green,lavender or blue and white
for my card i used a cicely mary barker image from stamps happen ( #90021 lavender flower fairy).
i stamped the image onto the white cardstock, then stamped again and cut out certain sections and adhered over the main image. all the coloring is done with colorbox fluid chalk . i added stickles to the fairy wings. i also used my cuttlebug anfd swiss dots folder to the cardstock behind the fairy. the background paper is by memorybox. hope you enjoyed this one.
thank you so much for stopping by today :) XXXshelly

craftycreations deena is our hostess :) and she chose our theme to be cut it out and pop it up! our awesome sponsor for this challenge is digikitty who so graciously gave us a couple of digital images to play with. i chose to use the house for my project. i printed the stamp , then again onto patterned papers cut out the roof and bushes and grass area the pop dotted them atop the original images.
i added a little doodling going for a cobblestone looking pathway and added a rhinestone doornob. i also used colorbox fluid chalk and added rhinestone flowers, computer generated the saying. the paper is memorybox.
