Fairy Sympathy Card - Part II

Part II of my fairy sympathy cards.  
I stamped the sentiment (Verses Rubber Stamps - SY0521-E Embrace a Memory) in black archival ink.  I then stamped the ladybug fairy using the same ink to the side. 
 
I colored the image with watercolor pencils and waterbrush.   I created a mask to cover my main image and stamped the flowers (Stampers Anonymous - Tim Holtz Wildflowers) using a mix of Antique Linen and Spun Sugar over top of the sentiment and the image.

I am entering this into the following Challenges:

Casology - Week #186 - Distress


Card Concept: 49 - Floral Radiance - Clean and Layered - Inspired by the flowers

Fairies Sympathy Card

I created a few sympathy cards using fairies as the theme.

The fairy was stamped in black archival ink and colored with watercolor pencils and a water brush.
 
 The background is a Memory Box stencil sponged with Mustard Seed Ranger Distress Ink.  The edges were sponged with Salty Ocean Distress Ink.  The image is from Penny Black - Fairy Sweet and the sentiment is from Verses Rubber Stamps - SY0520-E - Gently Lovingly.  I added a hint of Crystal Stickles to the wings and fringe on the fairy.

Raining Hearts

I have a few hours left to squeeze in my valentine's card for the Case(e) this Sketch #157.  I just purchased this cute Mama Elephant set and have been wanting to create something with the adorable images.  With V-day rapidly approaching I used the set to create a card for the holiday.

 Isn't that little animal the cutest in his raincoat and galoshes?  I had fun coloring the images with my watercolor pencils.  The background is a fun mix of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists splashed over the background.



I stamped part of a Stampendous stamp over the background in a mix of purple and black ink.  I then added a hint of purple with alcohol inks on the hearts before I added them to the background.  I finished with the Valentine's day sentiment.
