Sweet November Stamps & Craft Roulette: The Fairy Touch

Happy Monday all!  Hope you're having a great week so far!  Today's card is this past week's entry for Craft Roulette

The four parameters that the wheel gave us this week were:

  • Project: Card with a Heart
  • Colors: Vintage (lots of rich rusts and reds this week)
  • Element: Plant (the florals)
  • Random: Lace on the Base (lacy doily on the top & along her dress)

So this week's card features brand new Sweet November Stamps digital image from the Flight of the Fairies digital collection, "Lavinia".  This sweet little fairy is playing her pan flute in the forest of Dahlias from the "Scene Builder: Dahlia and Peony".


The background paper is from one of my Scrap 'N Stamp Crafty Live videos called "Beautiful Bokeh" and I just knew I had to pair it with this sweet fairy.

I actually popped up the florals and fairy from the background with foam!


To check out all the brand new fairies, you can click the link at the bottom of the page.

PLUS don't forget to join us this Friday at 6:10pm CT for another fun episode of Craft Roulette!

Happy crafting!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Flight of the Fairies

Happy Saturday!  It's time for a new mini digital release from Sweet November Stamps.

So this week's card features one of the new "Flight of the Fairies" digital stamps.  I used the sweet "Portia".

I configured my scene using "Portia" along with stone wall from the "Scene Builder: Castle" collection.  I printed out my scene onto X-Press It cardstock plus I also printed out an image onto my masking paper.  I cut out my mask.

Next I applied the mask to my panel and used my Copic air brush to spray down a light teal background.  Then I took a plastic fern and applied darker teal through the fern to achieve the fern background.  I also applied some green toned marker colors to the grassy foreground before removing the whole mask.

I then I colored up the stone wall.  I used a variety of Tonal greys, Cool Greys and Warm Grey Copic Markers.

I then colored up my pretty "Portia" fairy.  I wanted a wispy look so I added some White Gel Pen dots to make her appear floaty and dreamy.

To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of paper using CP Uptown ink and added in to the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!

Catherine Pooler Designs ~ NEW Inks Are Here & an Insta Hop! *Prize!*


New ink colors from Catherine Pooler Designs are here!  We have three new Party Collection inks: Lemon Sorbet, Creamsicle and Frosted.

Today's card features all three colors and the new "Carrot Bouquet".  I began by stamping the beautiful veggie bouquet with Versamark ink and added gold heat embossing to the image.

I used our 3 new inks, Lemon Sorbet, Creamsicle, and Frosted along with Bellini, Melon Ice and Garden Party ink to watercolor in the image.

I die cut out the image using it's coordinated die set, "Carrot Bouquet Dies".  I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment onto the bow tails from the same stamp set.

Next I created my orange panel to mount my bouquet on.  I first used the "Lemon Sorbet" and "Creamsicle" inks direct to paper and blended them together slightly.  Next I took the "Tiled Up Stencil" and added some Bellini ink threw the stencil to create the unique pattern.  I splattered this panel with some black acrylic paint.

Next I die cut the large "Scallops & Dots Die" rectangle and blended some Frosted ink along the edges and adhered the scalloped panel to it.

I adhered the carrot bouquet using some foam tape and I added some purple and clear sequins from the "Paris Sequins" and "Saint Lucia Sequins" packs.
