Fly away Fairy!

Here's one of the most delightful fairy stamps that was designed by well known artist Valerie Wade. This fairy is named Samantha (Plate #118). I love that name as it's my neice's name so I colored up this fairy with Samantha (or Sammie as we call her) in mind.

Samantha loves purple so I used a lot of that while coloring and added my favorite color which is orange. Once I colored the image, I used that color palette to select my card and embellishments. I had a wonderful sheet of orange with a sparkly background. I added lots of purple embellishments and die cut the saying out using nestabilities. I added some sparkle to the image's wings using Stickles.

Now I hope she will love this card when I present it to her.

Cheers all!

    This is adorable Holley. Absolutely love how you did the wings. Mine never turn out like that when I use Stickles, :-).

    And the purple really pops with that wonderful orange. :-)
