For my card today I have used a rubber stamp by Santa Rosa that I have had for many years and I have shown a card made from it before on my blog but I think she has to be one of my favourites. I do like using some of my old stamps and think its a shame not to. Having said that I still have lots of stamps I have never used!! Anyway here she is:
I have coloured her with Copics and a touch of Prismas (I just realised that I forgot to add the hint of blue to the edges of her wings that I was going to lol). The paper is by Bo Bunny from their Country Garden Collection. I have added a touch of Stickles to her dress and the edges of the image has been distressed with Shabby Shutters and Antique Linen DI. I have used Spellbinders Labels Die to cut the image out and Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles to edge the piece of DP on the side. The butterflies have been cut with a Dienamics Die and then covered with Stickles. The flowers are made with Cheery Lynn Build a Flower and have a metal brad in the centre. Charm and ribbon are from my stash.

You've made a lovely job of colouring the butterfly fairy Susan. I too have this stamp and it was one of the first ones I bought. I've only ever coloured her using versamark ink and chalks but she looks so pretty like this using the subtle colours you've used.
