Hello Crafters!
Happy Monday...well it's almost Tuesday.
But let's not concentrate on that :)
This weekend I shared this fun fairy scene over on the Neat & Tangled Blog.
The scene wasn't the original plan for the card but I'm so happy that's where it went!
I really wanted to use the fairies together with the unicorn from Magical Day. It just made complete sense to me that if fairies were going to befriend someone it would be a unicorn. Obvi.
Originally I was going to do a simple distress oxide background. However, I wasn't in love with the way it came out. No big deal time to shift to plan B. I know that's easier said than done for some card makers. However, I would encourage you to be adaptable in your cardmaking. Letting go of an original plan may lead you to something better. It certainly did for this card!
Since I switched things up mic card I actually started with my coloring instead of my background. I stamped out my images with copic safe ink and got to work. Plan A included a pink blue and purple background so I stuck to those colors for my characters too. The fairy on the roof was a last minute addition but she works in seamlessly with the new background.
Speaking of the background I wanted a fairy cottage. thought it would look super cute. I did use my ryler for the frame of the house but I freehanded the door and the window. Hey, last I checked fairies weren't carpenters. It doesn't need to be perfect. I think it's imperfections make it much more endearing.
You can see the card process from start to finish in the video below.
Get the popcorn story time is about to unfold haha.
I love how bright and joyful this card feels. All the sparkles and bright colors are making me super happy!
Here you can see a closeup of the white detail dots that add to that "sparkle' feel.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope your week is off to an amazing start!
