I don't have many stamps that are appropriate to the CAS challenge - Fairy Tales. So I used one of my two fairy stamps in a similar way to a card I did a couple of years ago. But I have a great new stamp to use on the bottom left edge of the card that really matches the fairy stamp and makes it look like she's leaving a trail of bubbles behind her.
I made the card first, cutting off a strip of the front edge so that the fairy can appear to fly off the card. I stamped the fairy on the remaining piece of cardstock and stamped the bubble vine on the card front and on the inside where it would show because of the strip I'd cut off.
I stamped everything with a black pigment ink and then used Stampendous Kaleidoscope Transparent embossing powder. If you overheat the ep, you can get a fabulous range of shimmery tones (and no black ink shows through) - just vary how much you heat different sections of the image and you'll get different colours. I hope my photo shows this - some parts of the images are copper, some green, some blue, and some purple. In real life it looks fabulous.
I cut the fairy out, and stuck down the bottom edge and then used thin dimensionals as she headed upwards out of the plants, and then near the top of her, I used a thicker dimensional as I wanted to give the impression of her flying off the card.
