So I decided to use the "Fairy Play" stamp from Belle's and Whistles!! Admittedly this is my only Belles n Whistles stamp but I think she is just gorgeous and I love being able to colour her and give her dress some texture!!
I used a sketch from The Pixie Cottage and decided to use Kraft stock which I probably use once a year but I always see cards made with Kraft and I just love the way they look. I coloured Fairy Play in with Tria's and also used some shimmer chalk on her wings! The Polka Dot paper is from Kaisercraft and I embossed the Kraft Card Stock. I then made my flowers, added them and the charms, ribbon and rhinestones. I added glitter the headband and blanket on the image and on the wings!! I wasn't sure if I should add anymore embellishments so I asked my friend Sam who is always straight with me good or bad when it comes to my cards and she said it looked beautiful just the way it was. Thanks Sam!!
So now that you've seen my creation continue your journey to see what the rest of the Belles ‘n Whistles Customers, have to share with you today. You won't be disappointed!!
