Deep Purple Dreams.....

Hello everyone: Most of you know I adore Faeries, my adult heart tells me they might

not be real but my little girl's heart keeps hoping they are. Some years ago my husband's aunt, who is like my big sister, gifted me with 25 gorgeous, amazing Fairy rubber stamps that she found at a thrift store, all unmounted, stained, dirty, dusty and abandoned, to this day, I can't imagine anybody getting rid of this beauties but, there they were, all in a cardboard box for $10.00.
After washing them really good, I started stamping them just to see what they looked like and, to my complete surprise and total delight, each one revealed to me the amazing and gorgeous images that are now mine. I've told this story each time I make a card with one of this images so, here is this card I made with one of them, hope you like it.  I'm linking this card to a few challenges at the end of this post.

For some reason, when I started coloring this sleeping Fairy, THIS SONG came to my head, (it will take a few seconds to start, ok?) do you remember it? if you are as old as me, you might.  It gave me a sweet trip down memory lane, my first daughter was just one year old and my hubby and I used to watch this show all the time. I don't know, the World seemed to be a lot simpler back then or maybe, I was just so happy with my little baby girl, that whatever else that might have been going on that was bad, was overlooked. Hope you enjoy listening.

I stamped the image onto a die cut panel of Strathmore multi media paper with Versafine black ink and clear heat embossed it, then colored it with SU markers, deep purple Crayola marker and an aqua painter, I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds to her wings and the butterflies.  The pattern paper is from Lili of the Valley (discontinued line, sigh!!😞).

The flourish gold die cut I can't remember where I got it and I apologize for that. When I started stamping, I never thought of having a blog so I always threw out the packaging of my stuff, now I wish I'd never done it. The sentiment word is a die from Elizabeth Crafts.

This is a picture of the finished inside of my card.

The sentiment is one of my favorites from a retired Flourishes set called "Orchids", the little butterflies from my stash.
