For my card this week, I chose

Victorian Beauty digital image from The Paper Shelter Shop.  I colored it with Copics and cut out with my Cameo.  I love all the wonderful details of her dress and it was such fun to color in shades of red and pink.

 

 

I chose papers from Reminisce, the heart piece is fan folded and I added some crinkle ribbon.  Sentiment is from My Creative Time clear stamp and stamped onto die from my stash, Bo Bunny pearl added.  I also added a heart sticker from K & Co.  I sure hope you like it and will come play along!!  Hugs

ONE DAY FAE at FAERY INK!!

Today is our One Day Fae of the Month giveaway at Faery Ink and as always, this month's image is a beauty!  Her name is Doodlebug Valentine Lollipop and you can find out all the details on how to claim your free image at Faery Ink Facebook Group and Faery Ink Blog.

I always love the Fae of the Month each month and have so much fun coloring these beauties.  This time around I chose traditional “Valentine’s” colors – red, pink, purple - to color her with my Copics.  I then cut her out with my Cameo.  The sentiment comes with the image (you also get the image with no sentiment, but I love when images come with sentiments as it means less time having to search through all my sentiment stamps for the perfect one).

I used an easel card fold this time to showcase this cutie.  Papers are from Imaginisce, I used Tonic die cuts, wooden hearts that I colored with Copics and stickers from Recollections.

 

Sure hope you like my creation and hopefully it has given you some inspiration. Make sure that you visit the Faery Ink Shop to pick up this FABULOUS FREEBIE – for the next 24 hours – and to see all the wonderful images there, especially all this month's New Releases!!
