This card is for Jeanne aka JeanneSâs Dare To Get Dirty challenge.
This card is another commission card and the request was for a Purple card with either mermaids fairyâs or unicorns, given that she had mermaids last year and her big sister is having unicorns I decided to go with a fairy.
The background has been created with the slap and squirt technique that Susie Australia has made famous. I like to lay baking paper down and slapping the ink pads onto this then spritzing with ironing aid. I used Ranger / Tim Holtz Distress Inks and one oxide ink to get the effect.
The stamp is one of a set of acrylic stamps that I purchase from Pergamano many, many years ago. I knew when I purchased them that they were not the work of any Pergamano artist I knew but had no idea where they came from. I have since discovered that you can purchase these stamps through Whimsy Stamps and they acknowledge the artist who is Marina Fedotova who does some gorgeous images.
I stamped the image onto the card front then stamped the image again on a second piece of blending paper and coloured this then glued this to the already stamped image on the card front, leaving the wings free to curl a little. I used lots of copic to get the colours and a bucket load of embellishmentâs to keep a little seven year old happy.

So very pretty - I appreciate how bold your "sky" is - even though it's only inches off the ground - fairy wings stand out! an enchanting card!
