Magic - Just Magic

This card was a labor of love... and much more complicated than it looks.

I started by stamping the fairy and then using a copier to make the image bigger. Than I attached the copy to a piece of black cardstock with temporary adhesive. I used my craft knife to cut out the stamp image sillouette. (I have done titles on scrapbook pages this way for years). I misted it with some glitter spray for extra sparkle, then I put a piece of transparency behind it.

I couldn't find any patterned paper that was vibrant enough for the look I wanted. So I took some glossy cardstock and swiped it with alcohol inks in three different colors. This gave me amazing color! I added a shimmering material over the top of it, then also used that material for the bow.

I popped the stamped image up just a little bit to give it even more demension, added just a little tag with the sentiment. I added white dots from my gel pen for more pop, then lots of black mats and it was done... Told you it was more complicated than it looked! But I love the dramatic way it came out!

Combining Two Passions

This card was a great way to combine two of my passions... Paper crafting along with doodles! It was so much fun to take one of my drawings and turn it into my focal point on this card. I love the way it turned out. The colors are devine and although I had a hard time not wanting to put more stuff on it, I realized it didn't need anything more. Sometimes you need to let the image speak for itself.
