Lilly the Spring Fairy

Howdy - MichelleO here and I just love a girly flower card! And High Hopes Stamps Lilly the Spring Fairy is the perfect stamp to add flowers and sparkle!

My Fairy is colored with Copics (colors below) and then cut out with a stitched oval die. I found papers from Paper Studio Country Roads collection. The layers are stitched down with a zig zag stitch. The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps "Have a fairy special day" that I added a faux mat with a Copic marker. I sewed that layer down then punched out some leaves and Mulberry Roses. Love Roses! And because every fairy needs some sparkle of magic I added Viva Decor Sparkle to her wings.

Fairy Garden

If April showers bring May flowers and fairies make a garden grow, then we should be all set in my neighbourhood. 
We had a very wet April and May is starting out the same so that is sure to bring flowers. My neighbour and I also joke about having a garden fairy as my roses always do well when I really don't do anything with them and she has plants growing that haven't come up for years. We call our garden fairy Hilda who used to live in my neighbours home and had a way with plants <wink>

I decided "Lilly The Spring Fairy" is a fun way to pay tribute to our garden fairy "Hilda". 

I coloured Lilly with alcohol markers, Prisma pencils for some shading, Nuvo Glitter drops for her wings and hand fussy cut her. I set her aside and created my background by blending inks from Stampin' Up and Ranger Distress Ink. I spritzed some water to help create a magical feel and added some Frantage around the edge. Next I cut out my heart flower border die and added some Frantage to some of the flowers to tie my card together. Some matching ribbon and hearts finish off my card.
