I reused a stamped image panel that did not have a good impression, (you can see a birdhouse in the upper right corner).
First time use with gelatos, it was fun to scribble and blend with the help of a little water.
Stenciled squares & stars, then used a stencil for outlining `faux' snowflakes with a journal pen.
Stamped polka dots, alphabets & doiles. Used a white gel pen to outline a few polka dots.
On white CS, I stamped and colored the fairy & balloons with markers and fussycut them. I stamped the images along with the balloon string on my panel, then adhered the fussycut pieces.
Used chunky glitter on the string for added interest.
Printed the sentiment, then fussycut and doodled around the words and adhered.
Added DP to the left side of card which also includes a faint polkadot pattern.
This was so much fun, and allowed me to just `let go' and randomly add a variety of details for the collage background.

Oh - the birdhouse on the reject panel is a sweet addition in a beautiful background. I love this sort that has so much interest to look at and enjoy - and then there's your sweet little fairy with her spotted dress and positive message. Welcome to the tea party, Jeannie.

I agree with Judy^^^. This is one fabulous card. The background and the mixed media and the "journaling" page kind of look are outstanding. Thanks so much for bringing this beauty to our tea.

I love that you put aside a background you didn't like and reworked it later. It is beautiful now. I have been playing around with coloring or stamping on dp and it is a lot of fun. Love your sweet fairy with the dotted dress and the sentiment is always true. Thanks for playing the Teapot Challenge!
