Have a Magical Day

It's been a few days since I inked up one of the Pure Innocence cuties from My Favorite Things, so I pulled out Fairy Girl for today's SCS sketch challenge. I paired her with pastel colors and a pattern from Cosmo Cricket's Earth Love line on this card.

The sweet fairy image is colored with Copic markers and dressed up with some Starlight Stickles. I mean, what fairy would be complete without some sparkle on her wings? I sponged in the grass for a soft look, then stamped the matching sentiment in black ink so it would stand out.

I pulled colors for the mats and panels from the colors in the designer paper. The aqua panel is embossed with a polka dot pattern. I decorated the scalloped circle panel with a coordinating Spring Moss button-embellished bow that matches the ribbon piece that's stretched across the card. All the pieces are layered on a So Saffron card base.

I have to admit that I had a near miss with dropping the card (and most likely smearing the Stickles everywhere) before it was photographed, but I managed to catch the card before it hit the floor face-down, averting a stamping crisis. Always a good thing . . .
