Happy Harvest Fairy Card


In the mail today I received some stamps I ordered from All That Scraps.  I have to admit I was pretty excited to use my new Nichola Fairy Stamp from Wags n Whiskers!  It was a challenge to color her in the Autumn colors because I usually go for colors in the cool category like purples and blues, but I am really happy with how she turned out!

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

wagsnwhiskersrubberstamps.blogspot.com-Fall Colors

flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com-Butterfly and Pink
paperplaychallenges.blogspot.com-Autumn is a Comin'
fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com-What'eva
suchins.blogspot.com-Fall into Autumn

I colored my image with my copic sketch markers (E57/55/53/18/11/00/000, R24/22/20, YR82/68/65, and Y15/13/11).  It's a little hard to see but I also used a clear spica pen to put a touch of glitter inside the wings.  I used my nestabilites labels one die in my Quickutz Revolution to cut out my image and matted it on brown Bazzill cardstock to match the base.  I used a sentiment from Studio G Stamps-Happy Harvest.  I stitched my Basic Grey Indian Summer Paper around the edges, then I inked and distressed all the edges before assembling the card.  I used a cream ribbon from my stash and tied a bow.
