"Fairy Special"

 


Recently I shared a picture here of the fairy garden I made this summer. I wish this magical little creature had found my garden but unfortunately the fairy house remains uninhabited! Oh well, there is always next year.

My card today is one I made for my niece Alyssa on her birthday. I've had this lovely Jelly Park image for ages...I won it in one of the first challenges I ever entered. I colored her with some of my VERY limited supply of copics & used good old Stickles on her wings to make them sparkle. The beautiful DP is from Prima & the CS is Bazzill. The lace is from The Paper Studio & the "glittery" brads are by Pebbles.

I have made several cards in the last week which wouldn't be any great deal normally but, on Sept.9th I had surgery to remove a small growth from my right eye & thought I would be out of commission for some time. The vision is still quite blurry in the eye & it is very light sensitive. However, I am finding myself drawn to my craftroom more than before the surgery....go figure....can't see, so lets go make cards! LOL At least I have an excuse now for coloring outside the lines & crooked papers!

1. Artistic Inspirations.....ATG or frame it

  15. LOL. I'm fighting a pinched nerve(I think) and a stuffy sinus head. Need to stay out of the crafty zone but that's right where I want to be. Hope your eye is healing well. I'll just bet your little fairy will come back next year to live in your garden. Sweet card Renee. Hugs!

  22. Hi Renee, Answering your ? so you get the answer quicker :o) Just off to my bed.
    I used the Cuttlebug for the Die cut. The card is just under 6x6 and as the top layer is smaller than that it goes through fine. I actually have a GC too but I used the cuttlebug in this instance.
    Hugs Mau xx
    So glad your eye is doing well xxxxx
