There be fairies in da house!

Crafts and Me got a delivery this week of the long awaited Sweet Pea stamps and Teresa bless her emailled me to let me know as soon as they went live. Fortunately I have a blackberry and had them on alert so knew within minutes and got in before the stampede started lol! Once again very quick delievery and my postie actually arrived before 10am so I was off with a couple of them today ((((SMILES))))

I Love Promarkers want to see a shaped card this week and I just kept seeing the fairy wings so I cut this stamp out which is called Love is Gone as out of the 11 *ahem* sweet pea stamps I have I felt this one had the best edge to follow what I had in my head! I simply traced around it onto folded card and drew bigger until I had the size I wanted to use as a template. I also know there are a couple of monochromatic challenges around this week so I wanted to stay with that.

The only thing for this background I could imagine is the most fabulous starburst stains. I used bachelor buttons blue from the prairie wildflowers set and splashed on some Frosted forget me nots from the Icicle creek set. As they are a dark and a light blue this gives the illusion of a sky (seen in last pic)

The image was coloured with a range of promarkers including...

Pastel blue, cool aqua, sky blue, agean (Hair, inner wings etc)
Cornflower, China blue & Midnight blue (Dress, rose, outter wing)

I've also been a big glamour dust happy today! Have added it to the inner wing, rose tips & flowers.

I've matted the fairy on black cardstock then some holographic silver. I also paper pieced the armband with the holographic silver too (Again can be seen in pic 3)
