I made this card the other day for the daughter of a friend of mine and after a LOT of fiddling I am really happy with how it turned out!
I used My Favorite Things Princess Birthday set (which I LOVE - I think it's so cute). You can get MFT sets either directly from the MFT site, as well as All That Scraps and eclecticPaperie.
I stamped the fairy onto Papertrey White CS then colored her in with Copic Markers. I used Grape Ice Ice Stickles on her dress, and Icicle stickles on her wings (the Stickles were still wet when I took this pic b/c I didn't have enough time to let them dry before I had to go somewhere).
And FYI even tho this picture suggests otherwise the purples on the card really DO match LOL! The camera really picked up the slight differences in shade and on here I think it looks quite bad! :o( The card has already been delivered tho otherwise I'd re-take the picture and try to fix it!
The big velvet blossom is a "Bazzill Bling Blossom" that I got from my LSS (Local Scrapbook Store). It was originally a lighter purple that DIDN'T match at all - but I really wanted to use it. SO ------- I pulled out the same Copic marker that I used to color the fairy's dress and colored the flower - and it worked!! So I'm thinking of getting more of them now (ATS carries some in a white shade) and then can just color them to match whatever project I'm doing! *wheels starting to turn*.........
