I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this challenge, but unfortunately my fairy was facing the wrong way, so I had to use a mirror image stamp to turn her around. I took the red rubber off the wood mount and put cling on it and used it in my Misti. It still took a couple of tries, but I got her positioned where I wanted her.
I am usually so set about what a medium is used for - I spray the sprays, etc. But I see videos all the time where people use things in out of the box ways, so on this card I scribbled my purple Zig Clean Color Real Brush marker on my glass work surface and then picked the color up with my clear Wink of Stella marker to make her tutu and wings sparkle. I also sprayed Sparkle shimmer spray on the glass plate and used a paint brush to paint a shimmery cloud of fairy dust around the fairy. The edge that looks splotchy is actually silver Nuvo Embellishment Mousse and doesn't look splotchy at all in real life.

That is a darling image Pat...glad you were able to get it facing the right way. I commend you for using your art supplies in a new way...it's fun to try new things and now I'm sure you'll use your technique for picking up color again! This is a really cute card for Anna

You did amazing work with the mirroring - I always find it so hard to get a clean looking image, and prefer to use it when all I am aiming for is a less sharp reflection. What a super sentiment for Anna, and what an adorable little fairy. I bet she's even prettier in real life with the sparkle. Gotta love her wand!
