So lets get right down to it! Here are the two cards. I have mixed things up a bit with using stamps from my stash. I have used a Papermania Fairy along with a Rubber mounted Christmas Cheer Stamp and the little Robin is from Clarity Stamp for the first card and I used two freebies from a craft mag along with a lovely Frame stamp from Clarity Stamp for the second card.
I stamped the Red Fairy and Heat embossed using Fine Detail Gold Powder onto Theuva Card, then stamped her onto a Post-it Note to make a mask which I covered her with. I placed my own Circle Stencil onto the Card and Stamped the Bauble Garland (which has the words too) in Adirondack Meadow. I coloured the baubles with a Red Poppy ProMarker and a Gold Gel Pen.
I used a Clarity Stencil Brush and the Meadow ink to dust around the circle and then removed the Stencil.
I began to colour the red fairy using Red Poppy, Blush, Caramel, Fern Green ProMarkers and a little bit of Gold Gel Pen. Once I was happy with her shading I stamped the Robin into place and coloured him in too with the ProMarkers.
I ran my Gold Gel Pen around the circle (very slowly and carefully...didn't need it to go wrong at this stage). I then layered and matted the card using double sided tape, Perfect Layers Ruler, Craft Knife.
(I coloured the red backing paper with the Poppy ProMarker.)
For the Gold Fairy I stamped and heat set with detail Gold embossing Powder. (don't forget to use talcum powder to reduce static) and then I stamped the lovely Frame with the Detail Gold too.
I made a mask for my fairy, put a post-it along one edge of the frame and then stamped in the Christmas tree. I used a make-up sponge to put in a little bit of shading within the tree and I highlighted bits of it with my gold Gel Pen.
I used Promarkers -Lemon, Blush, Cardinal Red and Marsh Green along with my Gold Gel Pen and a White Pilot pen (for the dots on the Parcel)
I used Cardinal Red, Marsh Green again with my Gold Gel Pen to colour in the Frame. I put in a bit of shading for the background and gave a bit of a shadow using a Cool Grey 1 Promarker. I then layered the image onto Green Dotty paper from my stash and mounted this onto a Blank Card. I decided to finish it off by adding a little bit more sparkle by using clear gold edged Peel Offs.
So that's it for the Fairies, fun to do but now I have to get on with making my own Christmas Cards...way behind but will post some soon. (have one to post in the morning)
Take care all
