Life Is Better with Friends

8/30/2017 Update: Selected as a Splitcoast Stampers "Favorite of the Week" for the week ending 8/28/2017.

Life is better with friends and this tiny fairy has found one. A panel of black cardstock was adhered to a white card base. I was permitted one additional color so I selected lavender because the patterned paper I used seemed to fit the theme for a magical background for the fairy. The paper panel was cut to match the sketch and the die cut flowers and fairy were adhered. The butterfly was punched from glitter paper and the strip along the bottom edge was added.

The sentiment was stamped to a piece of white cardstock and hand cut into the curvy shape. The sentiment was adhered using foam tape to add dimension. The fairy's wing was also curved to add depth and the butterfly was folded and adhered to leave one wing free. The inside of the card was decorated with a punched lavender butterfly and a die cut flower. Nuvo drops were added at random.

The card is being submitted to:
