Fairy Friend

Well, I had so much fun making this card today. I got some new toys in and just had to try them out. This is a fairy image from Whoopsi Daisy. She is so pretty. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers and used Crystal Stickles on her wings and the flowers in her hair. Then I used Waterfall Stickles on her dress. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Garden Party by Imaginisce. I used a couple of Spellbinder die cuts and the lattice is with a punch by EK Success. The doily strip is a punch by Martha Stewart Crafts. I used an embossing folder by Craft Concepts called In Bloom. The flower is a die cut by Marianne Design Creatables. I thought it made such a cute flower. The leaves are punched out with a punch from Punch Bunch. The center brad of the flower is by Spare Parts and the pearls are from my stash.
