Dreaming of Fairies.....Again.....

Hello everyone: Yesterday I posted THIS CARD  made with one of 20+ rubber stamps my Aunt gifted me with a couple of years ago, she found them at a thrift store, in pitiful condition, dirty, stained and unloved on a cardboard box, like trash!!! she knows how much I love stamps so she bought the whole lot and gave it to me. After a good soapy soak and rinse, I grabbed one and stamped it, (by the way, they were all unmounted, just plain red rubber) and what I saw left me amazed and wondering why would anybody throw away such gorgeous images. Here is the card I made with another sweet Fairy and I'm linking it to the Mojo Monday sketch challenge, The Cupcake Inspirations challenge #350 and to the "Less is More" color challenge, which are Citrus colors.

I stamped the image with Stazon Jet Black ink onto Canson water color paper and colored it with Prismacolor pencils and SU markers, I added Wink of Stella to her wings, dress and hair, the little butterfly is punched with the SU Itty Bitty Butterfly punch with Glassine paper.

I loved the Mojo Monday sketch and the "Less is More" Citrus color challenge but, in order to be able to submit this card to this one, I had to keep it as CAS as possible so, instead of adding the sketch's circle and band I opted to sponge both of this figures. The circle is sponged with Calypso Coral ink using the second to the largest die in the set, the "band" was sponged with a stencil using Daffodil Delight ink, I know I'm taking a huge leap of faith with both challenges but heck!! this little Fairy deserves it, don't you think?

Here is a picture of the finished inside.

The sentiment is from my Flourishes set called Orchids and it's stamped in Calypso Coral.

Here's the sketch that inspired this card.

Thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
