Fairy Fever

It's Fairy fever over at the Stamptacular Sunday blog! Your challenge this week is to create a card or project with a fairy on it! Easy, right?

Our sponsors this week are A Day for Daisies, offering up a $12 Gift Certificate, and Delicious Doodles offering four digi images!

I chose to use "Spring Bringer" by Sylvia Zet. I have had her colored up for some time with the intention of using the "Once Upon a Springtime" papers from Graphic 45. I had looked everywhere for them months ago, but since I had just recently found the world of cardmaking long after the papers came out, I fell in love with these papers after seeing projects that had been made several years earlier :( Long story short, I was able to hunt down a pad being sold in a kit for an outrageous price, but I had to have them. It's been over four months, but I finally got up the courage to cut into them and make this card!
The pink silk ribbon was one of the five ribbons that came with the kit. The postcard stamp was stamped  with Vintage Photo and a fairy postage stamp from the paper pad was glued on. I distressed the edges and inked them with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. I lightly colored the pearls with R20 Copic to give it a pinkish hue. On the Martha Stewart punch trim I added some Liquid Pearls, although I am not happy with the dots. How am I supposed to do it to get nice round pearls? I have heard of a pearl pen, are those better and where do I buy them?


Now I just need to make sure I save enough papers to make my daughter's first year scrapbook as was my original intention and rationalization for the price I paid!

So now it's your turn to show us your fairy project! If you need more inspiration, the other DT ladies have all done a fantastic job of sharing their lovely fairies at the Stamptacular blog!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
CLP Challenge (Sketch)
Live and Love (Something Old-paper and sentiment)
Divas by Design (Make it Girly)
Bunny Zoe (Anything  Goes)
