I've been going through my supplies and trying to use things that I've had for awhile. I also want to to experiment a bit more often.
This card is for the letter "Q" for Alphabet Challenge: a fairy sitting and quietly contemplating her world.
I embossed this fairy and mushroom, then I used watercolor to start out, adding gold and silver watercolor on wings and stars. Then I went back and colored with Prismacolor pencils to highlight and darken certain areas. Finally, my favorite thing...sparkle...I used lots of Stickles glitter on stars, wings, mushroom, grass and fairy. Well, of course, I needed more sparkle, so i glued a layer of green and bright pink glitter paper onto my card!
It was hard to get a good photo with all the glitter, much prettier irl.

Gracie this is gorgeous and I love all that sparkle and can imagine IRL how sparkly it is. I can never get enough sparkle on some of my cards, especially MM ones. Any tips are appreciated. TFS. Happy day

Wow, Gracie, this is so pretty! I can see sparkle and can only imagine how much more sparkle there is in real life. Her wings, especially, are so sparkly! Beautiful card!

She does have that quiet contemplating expression on her face. I hate it when a photo doesn't quite pick up the essence of glittery and shiny elements on cards. I would love to see this in real life.

Seriously, there is nothing better than sitting quietly and contemplating the world (in my book). I love this fairy sitting on your red toadstool, Gracie. And all the glimmer paper. This is so sparkly and dreamy looking!
