Thank you fairy much!

We are halfway through our challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps with our fun theme of TAGS!

I created this using the little cutie Swings 'n Slides Fairy, colored her with copics, the tag is from Ranger. I put a coat of gesso, used purple, turquiose and yellow gelatos, stenciled white ink in a square pattern and added black chalkboard paint along the edges. Die cut clouds are from Taylored Expressions, star die cut from My Favorite Things Blueprints 13.

Come join us for a chance to win and share your awesome projects!!

A Fairy Happy Hello!

Isn't this little fairy just the cutest and dontcha just love cute little fairies? I sure do! I love all things whimsical, fantastical, mythical and just plain cute-ical.....yeah, I tend to mash up words and sometimes don't make a lick of sense, but that's ok, I accepted my weirdness a long time ago! ;)

This little one is called Swings N Slides Fairy and you can find her over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

I went out of my comfort zone with this and actually watercolored the whole thing, the image and the background. I used distress ink and watercolor paper from Ranger, after adding the blue and green, I spritzed the whole thing with water and then added some brown spatters as well. I like how it turned out, but definitely need to practice with the watercolors!

I also used the Hello stamp from the Alley Way Stamps, Wink of Stella on the wings (although it's really hard to see) and added some white dots around her wings and her necklace and a little ribbon and bow...... I can definitely see myself using this image over and over again!
