Lilly the Fairy of Enchantment

Hi fellow bloggers and visitors, we have some lovely weather in Brum right now, hope you have a little sun wherever you are.

Today's card I've made for 2 specific challenges: at Make It Colourful, we're asked to colour using yellow and purple, and as you can see I used yellow for the sun and purple for the dress and wings; and at Michelle Perkitt Studio there is a Bingo challenge, and I've actually got 2 bingo lines on my card: Scallops, Ribbon, Flowers, and the second line is Pearls, Ribbon, Diecuts.

I coloured up Lilly The Fairy Of Enchantment by Michelle Perkitt using Copic markers and a little bit of pencil colouring. A glitter pen was used to lightly trace the swirls on her wings, but this was difficult to photograph. She was layerd up with silver mirri and blue cardstocks, mounted on  pale blue and white printed cardstock, matted again onto silver mirri and purple cardstocks, all mounted onto a scalloped card blank. The fairy looked vaguely Art Nouveau to me, so I used a couple of leafy diecuts that a friend sent to me, coloured them black to look like silhouettes, and arranged them in a curved shape to go along with the Art Nouvea feel and placed a couple of flowers over the join. I also used an Art Nouvea font to make the sentiment. Some pleated ribbon beneath the sentiment and some pearls in the corners were the finishing touches.



You can just see some of the glittery tracing on the top left wing
