Snow Fairy Christmas Card

Hi, I'm back with a card that features a character that I don't usually use in my cards. It's a fairy! These fairies are Mo Manning's illustrations and so, they must be beautiful! They don't look that the typical fairies with long flowy hair but a little mischievous rolling snow. Maybe that's why I like them. I chose one of the three fairies in the stamp set.

I'm not sure what colours a fairy would wear, so I chose a green hat and then orange for his clothes. So now, he resembles a carrot with purple wings. :D As it's a Christmas card, I want to have some sparkle on it. I was trying to fit a couple of silver hologram snowflakes on the image but somehow they didn't look right. I changed my mind after some time and die cut a couple of gold hologram snowflakes. They do fill in the empty space. The embossing on the green card base is a last minute decision. I like how this little detail makes the card look a little more interesting than when it was without embossing.

Let It Snow! with Liquid Appliqué

Hi! I have the Liquid Appliqué for about a month now. Today, at last, I decided to use it. It was all because I thought the card seemed to have too much empty space at the bottom.

I started by colouring this image from My Favorites Things. Isn't she adorable? There was a little accident when I was coloring it when a glob of ink suddenly flowed out of my Copic marker. I managed to salvage the image. Thank God! 

Then I die cut all the different bits and pieces, coloured the background and pieced everything together. 

Here's a closer look at the faux snow. It's rather cool. It was pretty fun to watch it rise when I used the heating tool on it. It didn't take too long and I didn't want the snow to get burnt, so once it was raised, I put the heating tool aside.

Here's my card for My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 241. I love this sketch! Instead of stars, I decided to use snowflakes. I love snowflakes and cannot resist collecting snowflake dies. The snowflakes reminded me of Christmas and so I made one!

 

Here's how the sketch looks:

 

 

I used white Wink of Stella on the snowflakes. It's not obvious in the photos. They would be more sparkly if I had used embossing powder. I didn't go ahead in the end as I thought it might be too much as the sentiment is already shiny. 

Love this cute Santa from MFT Birdie Brown Jingle All the Way stamp set!
