Well it's the final day of the Whimsy Stamps September release, I hope you've been enjoying seeing them. I love this new release so much though that you'll be seeing lots more of it from me throughout this month.
Anyway, today my card is using one of the new Wee Stamps Collection, she is called Mistletoe Fairy.
Now I could have coloured her up in more traditional mistletoe cololurs, and I probably will do that later, but I really wanted to see her as a little winter fairy. I also decided to do a spot of monochrome colouring with a pop of colour that I'm fond of, but this time to change things up a bit I went with sepia tones rather than greyscale.
I used some lovely pages from the new Winter Wishes pad, and a couple of the glittery enamel dots to match which are gorgeous!
I also used the new Snowflakes Dies.
I love the way she turned out. I was going to add flowers to this card, but I thought the new snowflakes looked so nice that it didn't really need it.
I used my distress ink markers to colour her in and just used 2 pens, Frayed Burlap and Broken China.
The cheesecloth and seam binding are from The Ribbon Girl.
That's all from me for today, but I'll see you soon. Don't forget that there's still time to sign up for my stamp and die giveaway here
Have fun!
Amazing image. Love your card.

Absolutely stunning colouring of this fabulous image Linda... and wow... using just two colours!! I also love the colours that you've used for the seam binding and the card - they compliment her perfectly! She certainly is a beautiful fairy and she now resides in my stash also.... maybe to be coloured in a subtle shade of pink in the near future? LOL!

Absolutely gorgeous. Those colours rock my world.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow! Linda this is stunning hunny! Sorry I haven't been around in a while. Life has become a little crazier than usual lately and I am just keeping my head above water. But it meant the world to see your sweet comments on my blog the other day and I've been wanting to pop back in and have a good catch up! This week is going to be nutty for me, so I'm grabbing a minute where I can. Thinking of you as the retreat draws near, you're going to be fabulous! Oh to be a fly on the wall!! Have someone take some footage for those of us who can't be there, I'd love to see you in action! I adore the tones you've used for this creation right down to her cold little blue cheek. Utterly stunning hun. Hugs, Wends xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do you make your bows /decorations with seam binding? It's super beautiful and mine never gets like yours.. Would love to know how! :)
Oh Linda, this is utterly divine! Your colouring is so fabulous and I would never have realised it was only using 2 colours as your depth of shading is lovely. The colour palette is beautiful and all the details are fab...I agree that those snowflakes add enough interest without needing flowers too, especially the way you layered them up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments you left me, they are so hugely appreciated :-)
Big hugs, Kat xx
You did such a great job with this monochrome colouring. Love it!!! This type of colouring is definitely something I need to practice more. I agree with what you said about snowflakes on this card ... They are definitely enough. Gorgeous winter card! Hugs! xx
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful card Linda !
ReplyDeleteYour coloring is awesome.
