A Magical Thank You!

Hello All Lanette Here!

Today I am going to share a bright little thank you  card that I made for a dear friend , she just loves all magical things.

Plus it was a great reason to get a little ink on my hands :)

Lets start by taking a look at my finished card, then I will show you how I made it :)

Sin City Supplies Used: Knock on Wood ,  Rosette Hearts & Anime Fairies 2 Plates of Rubber and Stencil #437

Other Supplies Used: Dylusions Mist. Prima Flowers, Ranger Ribbon & Glossy Accents, Art Anthology Sorbet & Dimensional Paint and Faber Castall PITT Marker

Now lets look at my process......

I started by building my base using one of the Knock on Wood background stamps.

I continued building my background by adding lots of amazing color using a mix of Dylusions sprays.

I even added a bit more to the background using this fun Sin City Stencil. 

And for a bit of Sparkle I added a bit of Art Anthology Sorbet through Stencil #437

Next I stamped my sweet little Dragon. (Using waterproof ink) 

Isn't she so cute you can find her on  Anime Fairies 2 Plate.

After a bit of color I used a PITT marker to out my dragon, 

this little trick makes it so much easier to fussy cut.

After misting a few flowers and a bit or ribbon it was time to 

bring my pieces together using Beacons 3-in-1 glue. 

Which brings us to :

And a little Thank You from the Rosette Hearts Collection.

I hope that I have inspired you to have some inky fun of your own!

I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!!

Do you believe in fairies?  If you do, you will LOVE the Anime Fairies Stamp Sets at SinCity Stamps!  There are 2 different Anime Fairy sets to choose from, in addition to other Fairy sets!  Awesome!!

Anime Fairies 2 set

I used a watercolor effect technique.

SUPPLIES:

• SinCity Stamps "Anime Fairies 2" Rubber Stamps
• Beacon Adhesive 3 in 1 Advanced Craft Glue
• Tombow Dual Brush Pens ~ Brights
• Moxxie Paper
• Ranger Stickles ~ Diamond
• Staz~On Ink ~ Gothic Purple

I gathered my supplies and picked markers and papers with complimentary colors.

I sprayed a lot of water on watercolor paper.  Then, I dipped my marker in the water.  As you can see, the small amount of ink instantly spreads in the water.  When you are done dipping your markers, just rub them on a clean piece of paper and you will see the marker is good to go.

You see how awesome the colors swirl into each other in my extreme close up :)

I love how there are some areas where the colors collided and left a water line.  Other areas are just really nicely swirled colors.  That's the fun of this technique.  You never know what you will get!

I stamped directly on top of the dried "watercolor effect" paper and cut my fairy out.  I LOVE the waterline in her!  It looks like she is behind a shadow, looking out.  If I tried I couldn't get this effect!  I put her on some gauze, to keep her looking soft, and used foam squares to adhere her to the card.  I glued the butterfly on the body only and folded the wings up.  Butterflies and fairies always leave a little fairy dust behind so I added some glitter and a trail of rhinestones.

Thanks so much for visiting!  Please visit the SinCity Stamps site and get some fairies of your own.  You know you believe!!
