Another gorgeous fairy from Flights of Fantasy - meet Darcy

Good morning all

I'm back with my next fairy from Morgan Fitzsimons Flights of Fantasy collection

Yet another birthday card - this time for a special friend 

(it feels like all my friends and relations were born in March!!)

This lovely fairy is called Darcy

I wanted to create a mono type image with just a burst of colour in the flowers, which I think are morning glory, they are usually blue or shades in that spectrum, I decided to colour her with my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens.  Whenever I see images coloured in this way with a pop of colour it's nearly always with red, so I thought the blue would make a good contrast and that I'd be able to blend it in with the greys that I coloured the image with.  I did this by transferring the blue directly onto the grey pen tip to keep it subtly blended on the image. I then added some sparkle - because a fairy simply has to have some! - with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens

The background was created by embossing  navy textured cored'nations card then sanding back and embellishing with gilding wax.  The black frames were also embellished with the silver gilding wax

 - I just love this stuff!!

This is what I did....

I'm so loving these Morgan Fitzsimons Fairies - had a real colouring fest this week!

Hi all

I had several special birthday cards to make this week and couldn't decide what to do

I know I'm talking to those who know here -when I say sometimes it just doesn't happen!!

I have lost a whole set of stamps that I had in mind to use so was totally clueless!

Then I remembered I had a pile of fairies I had stamped out but not coloured

and they totally fit the bill - I'm sharing the first one here

I made this one for my daughter's birthday - so it's a very special card for me

This is Morgan Fitzsimons Erin from the Flights of Fantasy range at Crafter's Companion

I just love her

and what a dream to colour

She is coloured with Spectrum Noir blendable pencils and Sparkle Pens

there is actually quite a bit of sparkle but it was hard to get both the colour and the sparkle together - so I went for the colour option!

This is what I did
