Flower Fairies - a Coloring Project
by Lis Whiting
I have a fairy stamp from Frantic Stamper. I've had it for a while and decided to use it for today's project. It is a beautiful and intricate stamp with a lot of detail, just right for coloring! I started out coloring the large leaves with chalk. I was planning on doing the whole image with chalk but realized that the detail needed some markers - so, I finished my coloring with Distress Markers. I debated whether or not to color the white background. I decided not to because I wanted the stamp image to show and I thought coloring a background too would detract from that.
I wanted the card to reflect "fairies" so I used some specialty papers including glimmer and shimmer papers. My card base is plain white card stock which I covered with a shimmery green paper. I tore a couple of shimmer card stocks (like stardream) in pink and white, and also used some purple Bazzill Bling in Fruity. I matted my stamped image in Wine suede paper and attached to my card. As a finishing touch, I added a glittery button. (I've had this button lying around for a while. Idea-Ology has some beautiful buttons that can be used for this embellishment. If you want to really see some gorgeous buttons, take a look at the Czech Glass Buttons. I collect these as they are too pretty to use in anything but a very special project.)
