Butterfly Fairy

Good morning everyone. Did you see the Diamond Jubilee Concert last night? It was really good and so glad the weather was better than the day before. I thought the Queen looked lovely.

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.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Fashionable Stamping - Mystical and Very Magical
Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Sketch
Crazy 4 Challenges - Add Butterflies
The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Anything Goes
Sweet Stampin' - Favourite Stamp
A Gem of a Challenge - Photo Inspiration (I have used the butterflies and fairies)
Crafty Ann's - Butterflies and Flowers
Wags 'n Whiskers - Summer Fun


Well that's it from me for today.  I have to do some more DT work today as I will be a bit busy the next couple of days.  Luckily the weather isn't up to much and everywhere will be busy with it being a BH so its a good excuse to lock myself up in my craft room!  Thanks for looking and take care xx

    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.
