A fairy in the great outdoors


This week's Flutterby Wednesday's (FWB63) theme was to put a butterfly or fairy in an outdoor setting. I thought this stamp from Faerie Song was perfect for the theme.

The plant she's playing among looks like dandelion to me (having spent my life fighting them in lawns and gardens I know that leaf formation), so that's how I colored it. Then I thought perhaps it was thistle? I just did an image search, but I couldn't tell for sure. There were a variety of flower forms shown, but I couldn't get a good look at the foliage. Anyone have an opinion?

The card is pretty simple -- the only real embellishment is a little glitter dust on her wings. The image is colored with pencils and OMS.

I made this card for two challenges, icsketches #19 and Flutter By Wednesday, which required a fairy or butterfly.

The image is from Faerie Song Art Stamps. She is colored with pencils and OMS. There is a little pink glitter on her starry headpiece and the little eye-like circles on her wings.

The dp is from My Minds Eye. I've been holding onto the flowered paper because I thought it was so busy, but when I put it on the card with everything else, you can hardly see it. (Truth is, that happens to me a lot. I guess I have to get over my trepidation about using bold papers, because usually you don't see enough of the paper for it to actually come across as super bold.)

Camping fun

My family, especially my husband, loves camping (although, tbh, we gave up tent camping a while ago and enjoy a little travel trailer.) When...
