Don't Eat the Daisies....

Love that movie! When I first saw Jennifer Nilsson's Daisy Flower Fairy, that movie title kept popping into my head.


I also fell in love with those big eyes! Who wouldn't? I used Copics to color her and for a little glitter (the dots in her dress top, headband, earrings and the flower centers) I used my old glitter gel pens. I used Copic Opaque White to the petals using a small round brush.


I wanted the wings to look translucent so I didn't color them and applied Viva Decor Clear Gel Gloss. You'll notice the gray background, which was done (very quickly) using a regular watercolor marker. The upper half of the background is a grayish blue colored with Prismacolor pencil then blended with their blender pencil. The paper and embellishments are all scraps.... with all the snow we received last week and the bitter cold temperatures, it was pure joy to color this fairy!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Oh be sure to stop by the Sweet Pea Stamps store .... HAVE YOU SEEN THE SPECIAL? Yes, I'm shouting, lol..... better hurry on over to the store before it's over!
