The stamp I used to make this card is one of my favourites. Again it is wood mounted and very large - requiring much patience to stamp. I have had this stamp along with a couple of other stamps from the same collection which I found while looking through my wood mounted stamps for something "old school". I was only meant to be looking for a few minutes - but once I got started I couldn't stop - and found lots of wonderful stamps that need to be aired again.
This little sweetie is coloured with water colour pencils and paints and highlight with glitter pens for some fairy sparkle. There is a lot more colour in the sky in real life.
Still can't make up my mind which one to send to our Tea Pot Party recipient Kim (crazykim) in New Zealand.
Hope you Enjoy.

Oh, beautiful. My mother had collected six Flower Fairy China plates...she gave 3 to DH and 3 to a family friend. I was always disappointed that we didn't get the lavender which was my favourite. What a gorgeous card and fantastic colouring.

Wow! Is this ever gorgeous! What a lovely fairy image scene this is and you have colored it to the 9's bringing this to life so beautifully. I adore what you have made here! ~Karen.

I have this and several other of the Stamps Happen Fairy series - I love them but rarely use them as it is SO difficult to get a good image. Recently I unmounted them and put them onto cling foam in hopes that it will makes them easier to stamp . . . . I love the sheer look of your colors - that dress and the wings are nearly gossamer!
