Wee Silver Fairy

Hi everyone!

It's Ellie here! I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!!

It's my turn today to post to the Whimsy Inspirations blog and I'd love to show you one of the cards I made for the special Wee Stamps for Whimsy Release from October using Sylvia Zet's gorgeous

"Silver Fairy".

She has been stamped with Memento ink and colored with Derwent coloursoft pencils. I use blending stumps and baby oil for blending. The baby oil works just as well as gamsol but without the fumes.

I cut the fairy out and if you look closely then you can see that I applied some glitter to her wings and the flowers in her hair.

The sentiment is from an old and retired set from Stampin Up. I thought all those magical words would be perfect to use with this fairy. I distressed all the edges using scissors. On the sentiment part I used the direct to paper technique (wipe ink pad lightly over the paper). And if you look really closely then you can see that I used a stamp from the set "Lavish Flourishes" by Raindrop Echo Designs (also available at Whimsy) on the sentiment too. Here is a picture of the whole set, since it's so hard to see on my card.

Isn't it gorgeous??!! There is a flourish to use for just about any card! Plus the whole set is only $8 cling mounted red rubber!!

Here's a quick list of items used:

• Stamps: Whimsy "Silver Fairy" and "Lavish Flourishes"; SU sentiment
• Card stock: Stampin Up, Neenah
• Designer Paper (K&company -I think?)
• Ink: Memento tuxedo black, caramel ink for sentiment and direct to paper technique
• Coloring Medium: Derwent coloursoft pencils blended with baby oil, copics for skin tones
  
• Punches: Martha Stewart butterfly and lace doily border punch
• Other: seam binding ribbon, sticky pearls, stickles glitter, janome sew mini sewing machine
  

And that is all from me for now. Thank you so much for stopping by the Whimsy Inspirations blog, and don't forget there are Whimsy projects posted here almost daily so be sure to keep checking back!

Enjoy your day!!
Ellie.
