... but I forgot to do the clouds! For today's challenge, I want the fairy tale. What fairy tale dream doesn't have a castle? This is also for Thurs. use something new challenge. I used my new Niji Pearlescent watercolors. What shimmer they have! Wow! I also use Pearl glimmer mist on the flowers, but I don't think much of the shimmer shows in the photo. I colored some parts of the stamp w/ SU Going Gray marker, huffed & stamped. The sentiment is mounted on black.
I like how this turned out, but I'm mad about the clouds. And since I've finally 'learned' how to use my year old nesties, I can't seem to not use them!!!!
Thanks for stopping to take a peek.

What a lovely card. The first thing I noticed before I read your post was the shimmery flower. I have some nesties and have yet to use them as I have a cuttlebug. Awesome card and I love purple.

OOoooooo . . . I love all the shimmer you gave this card--perfect for a fairy tale!! The nesties frame your image so nicely. I used that sentiment, too!!! Great minds think alike ;) Super job on this fairy tale challenge!!

This is absolutely awesome. And the glitz on the flower actually shows up. What's up with THAT! Mine never does. I love your colors, your flower and everything.
