Poinsettia Sprite

click on the above logo

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor on 613 Ave Create this week is Aurora Wings. I am using this adorable poinsettia sprite. The card base is neenah solor white cs cut long at 4.25 x 11 and folded in half. I printed the image onto neenah solor white cs and colored it with copic markers. E00,000,11,13, R22,24,27, 39, YG61,63, G67, N2. I added sukura white gel pen to all the little circles to cover up some of the bleed. I also added it back into the eyes. I used a clear sukura glitter pen to add glitter into the poinsettia leaves. The image was cut using a spellbinders die. The DSP is from and SEI paper stack. I added the SU ribbon and made a double bow. The flowers are from my stash. I added small star sequins to the outside of the sprite. I then used a MS small and medium snow flake punch for the snowflakes. I put some glitter paint on the for the sparkle. I hope you feel inspired by something in the card I have created to try making something and joining in our challenge. 

I will add this card into these challenges.

Thank you for stopping by, happy crating and have a fabulous day!

Lilly of the Valley Sprite

Hi everyone.

We have a new challenge starting today on the Fairies in Time. Our sponsor is Aurora wings. The image is called Lilly of the Valley sprite. I have used DCWV paper stack and cut the layers using SU die cut. The base layer I cut two and scored the back panel. I then glued the front to the back. The image was printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E 000,00,11, R 29,81,83,85, YG 61,63,67,03,24. The leaves were punched out using MS leaves border punch. The small daises were punched with an old punch. Don't use it much because it is hard to punch. The background was distressed using blue pan pastel very lightly. The ribbon is SU seam binding. I colored the pearl and added it to the bow. Three pearls were also added to the daisies. 

Thank you for stopping by, happy crafting and have a fabulous day!

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor on the Fairy's Challenge for the 15th of July is Aurora Wings digital stamps. I love these gorgeous stamps. They are so much fun to color. I printed the image onto neenah cs and cut it out with the spellbinders grand oval scallop die. I left it in the die and used SU chalk and chalked bashful blue around the image and that left the white border around the image. I added a few dots to the background using SU gorgeous grunge stamp set. I colored the image with copic markers. E00,000,21,51, R02,29, Y26, B21,23, V15,17. I added a lot of sparkle using sukura glitter pen. I decided to add a shirt on her using the R02 and then drew some flowers on it with the glitter pen. I cut the large flowers with MS flower punch and the smaller ones with ek success punch. I molded them and added pearls in the centers. The leaves were cut with MS vine punch. The ribbon was CTMH white seam binding that I colored using the R02 marker. I added assorted pearls randomly. The DSP is from a DCWV stack and I used the MS pointed flower border punch around it for more of a lacy look. I hope you have enjoyed my take on this image.

I will enter this image into these challenges.

Hi everyone,

I started coloring this image a month ago. I just wasn't sure how I wanted to make the card design. Sometimes it takes awhile. The card base is neenah cs cut two times at 6.5 inches. On one of the pieces I scored one half inch and folded it back. I then added the second piece and glued it on to make the base of the card. The image is printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,21,51,  Y21,26, YR21, YG61,63, BV000,01,02, V12, The butterflies were also colored with the copic markers. I used ek-success of the 3 step butterfly punch and MS for the smaller ones. I added shadow under the small butterflies. I added glitter to all of the roses and butterflies. The first and second DSP is from DCWV eastern stack. I used MS vine border punch for the vine on the right side of the roses. The leaves under the white roses I used the SU blossoms punch. I added some sukura white gel pen on the flowers for highlights. The earring were done using sukura clear glitter pen.I added glitter onto the image. The roses were made using spellbinders small die using SU cs. The white roses are SU whisper white cs. I cut a small doily in half and added it to the side of the first layer but It really doesn't show up much. The ribbon and bow is CTMH seam binding.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and found something you liked and will inspire you. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.

E00,000,21, Y26,21,23, YG61,63,67 N2. The background was chalked using SU blue, pink and green chalk. The base card is staples vanilla cs, The green layer is SU wild wasabi and the DSP is from a MS stack and then I used a border punch of the top and bottom of the cs. I added some pearls and called it done. I did try to put a bow but it just didn't look right so I took it off. I will use this card for my oldest granddaughter's birthday that is coming up at the end of this month. I will add this card into these challenges.

Sisterhood

Hi everyone,

Aurora Wings has started there new blog challenge March 17th. I am using the sisterhood digi that she has offered for the challenge. I had a lot of fun coloring this digi. I printed the image onto neenah cs. I used mixed media, copic markers for the skin/eyes and water color for the rest of the image. Copic markers used- E00,000,11,21 R20. Y13, E37. SU ink soft grey, more mustard, creamy caramel. I didn't use a lot of colors but I think it gave the image a lot of dimension.

 DSP is from momenta 8x8 stack. I added a narrow ribbon at the top then layered the image over that. The Yellow swirl is memory box magic swirl die cut. The leaves leaves are from SU leaves edge-let die. The larger leaves are from an older ek success punch I got from my mother but still works great. The roses are done using the spellbinders blossom die, and then rolling them to make the roses. I added a bit of glue just dotting over the roses and sprinkling on the glitter. I used a small ek success flower punch for the little flowers. I put them on a soft pad and used the end of my paper piercer to give them a bit more dimension. I adding some gems in the centers. The top corner on the image is from using a corner die from kwikuts.

 I will enter this card into these challenges.

Elvin Princess

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor this week at The Fairy's challenge is Aurora Wings. I have used this beautiful image called Elvin Princess. I printed the image onto neenah cs. She was fun to color using copic markers. E21,00,-000, YG61,63, N2. I used a sukura glitter pen to add shine to the jewels on her forehead and earrings. I added a small butterfly to the top right corner and also used glitter on it. It is from a heidi Swapp stamp. Sorry but it doesn't seem to have a name. I added a layer of SU certainly celery cs and used a ek success border punch of each side. I had some lace that I added to the top and bottom then made a bow with the same lace. The little white flowers are from my stash. This will make a great Birthday card.
