It's time for a new Sunshine Mail Foundation Challenge (June 1 - June 15). Our theme is "Smile" and the only real rule is that you send in at least one card (Donation guidelines here).
We're sponsored by Just Some Lines, so I was able to use this oh-so-adorable Fairy Kiss digi:
The image is both digitally and physically paper-pieced: I inserted the polka dot paper (Mel Stampz digi paper freebies) in PhotoShop, but hand-cut everything out to create some 3D layers. I colored the image with Copics. The wings are printed on vellum, and traced with turquoise Stickles.
I hand-stamped the flower border in China Blue ink (Ranger), using a clear stamp from a free set from Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine.
The sentiment is from When the Scrap Hits the Fun, but I added blue tints in PhotoShop. The wooden butterfly (Prima) was colored with a blue Copic and heat-embossed in Peacock (I don't know the brand, but it's basically a mix of transparent powder and blue & green glitter).
Inspiration/Challenges:
All That Stickles Linky Party: Turquoise Stickles
Artistic Inspirations: Paper Piercing/Piecing
Celebrate the Occasion #114: Must use a butterfly
Chocolate, Coffee & Cards #40: Fantasy and/or Fairies
Creative Creations Challenge Blog: Paper Piecing
Just Some Lines: Anything Goes with a JSL image
Simply Create Too #38: BINGO ("G": Blue, Lace, Stamp, Tag, Polka Dots)
The Lollipop Ladies Challenge #70: Bug inspiration + Nature
Update: This placed in the Top 3 at Just Some Lines. Thank you!
