This is for the world famous LuvLee aka Lee. Lee is a huge contributor here at SCS and makes the most gorgeous CAS cards. Unfortunately hand surgery has Lee sidelined for a while. I hope our sparkly cards bring some sunshine and smiles to Lee.
I have several fairy stamps and strangly enough not many of them are smiling. Perhaps flittering around the world, sprinkling fairy dust and wearing next to nothing, is not as much fun as one would have thought. I have a fairy that looks like she has a broken foot and another that looks like she has a drinking problem.
My favourite fairy stamp is on loan while I borrow her Crazy Bird stamps so I tried putting a sling on a crazy bird depicting Lee's recovery. I added sparkles and a little tiara, even a wand, but it was still too weird - even by my standards.
This little fairy doesn't look too happy, perhaps because she doesn't have legs or she has just heard that Tim Holtz has brought out another bright blue ink pad......has that man got something against dark blue or maybe a few more shades of purple!! I digress, the fairies costume and hair were done with Derwent Inktense pencils.
Have a terrific week everyone and thank you for looking.

Susie, your fairy is Beautiful!!! She doesn't seem to be smiling (although I think her eyes might be smiling) because I believe she is a Princess Fairy. Just look at that gorgeous gown she has on. No ordinary Jane Doe fairy ever wears such an abundance of elegant cloth. We all know that a Princess Fairy must at all times maintain her dignity. No detectable smiles allowed. And as to the "wing job"....! (No offense intended to those who have whispered of such things.) She is Perfect the way she is. As a Princess she has a large entourage of fairies around her at all times to do her bidding. She has no need to vibrate those delicately petite winglets or lift a finger to do anything. After all, she IS a Princess! Probably.

Ah, Susie, she's amazingly beautiful, and I agree - she's not smiling because Lee is hurting! (And, she does need a wing-job - LOL!) Susie, I love the beautifully soft colors and how beautifully you've colored her dress as it flows down - and I agree with Sabrina - I love your description as much as your card. It's fabulous, and I really love the stenciling and that great checked-line image ... really adds that extra something. Totally beautiful, and Lee is going to LOVE it! Hugs, sis!

Awww! Susie, you make me smile! Every.time.!!! I love the pinks on this sweet fairy card. You know Fairys are woodland creatures maybe she's not happy that she will need to wear a coat in CO!
