Many of you might know from checking out my blog, that I absolutely love fairies. So whenever I can do a challenge and showcase one, I'm a happy stamper. This card was made using a Fairy from About Art Accents and if you love fairies, this place has a bunch. (when you buy from Annette, mention my name and she'll throw in a gift with your purchase. How cool is that!)
I wanted to do a grunge inspired card, so really distressed the edges, used Glimmer Mist to paint splatter the papers and used a new rub-on I got from 7 Gypsies that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE. Here she is. I hope you really like her.
The Green background paper is Olive Brown Bag, dark blue is Anthracite, card base is Poison Ivory Iridescent, Light Purple is Amethyst Mica Metallic, and the rich purple behind the image is Eggplant Felt Weave. All are available at Paper Temptress.
I also have some HUGE news. I've been chosen to be a part of the 2010 Simply Renee Design Team. I'll be doing some organization blog posts for them as well as a few other things. Isn't that so exciting!!!???
