Saturated Canary - Night Fairy

Hello everyone I hope you are having a lovely week so far. It's time for a new theme over at 
and this time it's Anything Goes. Super easy right?  So no excuse not to enter, because whatever you are working on....it will fit! ;)

I have to admit I always seem to colour the newest digis up a bit later than everyone else, so that by the time I do they're no longer new, and the image I used for this is no different.

A while back I joined in a small way with a lovely project that was on Kickstarter, called
'A Very Fairy Door'

As a reward for my small contribution I received 2 digis, but with Christmas looming and everything else I had planned, it's only recently that I got the chance to colour either of them.

This one is called Night Fairy, so I thought I would go with a deep blues and silver for the stars and make her seem like she was in the night sky with the glow of moonlight surrounding her.

I really rather like the way this turned out.


I decided to echo the stars by cutting some stars out of the dp and some pearlescent card. I used a the Die-namics Pierced Star STAX to cut them. The card shape is made using a Go Kreate XXL set.

I used some old papers from my stash to make the card.


I used some diamante gems to accent my card, lots of glamour dust on the wings and on the star. On the dress and the halo I used my Sakura Gelly Roll pen in Clear Star. This give a lovely sheen and a subtle sparkle, but sadly it's a bit too subtle to show up on camera.


I coloured her with my distress ink markers using:

Vintage Photo, Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, Hickory Smoke and some Antique Linen for the 'glow'.


I decorated the inside to echo the front.

I used the following embellishments from The Ribbon Girl:


I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Live and Love Crafts - Sparkle

That's all from me today but I do hope you can join in with our challenge, and don't foget to swing by and check out the rest of the DTs beautiful makes.

That's all from me, have fun! :) xx

  4. A delightful card, in different colours to your usual palette, I like them. The new distress inks are definitely on my wish list this year. I adore the way you have coloured her especially her hair and face, just gorgeous. I hope you get time to relax over the festive period and wish you a Happy New Year.

  5. It usually takes me a while to use my new digis too. But my problem is that I buy them, don't use them immediately and then forget that I even have them. I'm THAT bad! *sigh*
    The first word that came to my mind whenI saw ypou card was "magical". The colours, the crystals and all those stars ... Wow! I also love how you created the glow around the image (with antique linen). Wow! Definitely something I need to remember, because I'd never thought of using that DI for the glow.
    Pure magic!
    Hugs! xx
