A fairy easel card

I've used 'Rosie' a seriously cute little fairy from Michelle Perkett to  make this easel card. Rosie comes with a lovely rosebud background and a gorgeous sentiment too.

Rosie is coloured with promarkers and I've used 'Sparkle' EP to highlight her wings and the flowers on her dress. As usual the sparkle doesn't show up, it just looks a strange shade of green but IRL this EP is fab. This second pic shows a little of the sparkle from the EP

 I didnt have any card the right colours so I used white coloured with promarkers for the matting and layering. the base card is white linen card stamped with one of Joanna Sheens lace stamps and embossed with raspberry sorbet EP. I added some lace from my stash, a little pink velvet ribbon and lots of faux pearls.

The flower is made from beads and what a performance I had making it. It took ages and when I'd got it finished I decided to trim the wire at the back - BIG mistake, things went horribly wrong from there and somehow I ended up with a pile of wire and beads lol. I tried everything to bodge it back together but it was past saving and I had to make another. Needless to say I didn't try to tidy the back of this one lol. I made a raised panel with foam pads, cut a hole in it with my cropodile and mounted it over a blob on silicone glue - popped all the messy wire through the panel so its out of sight.

I'm entering Rosie into the following challenges

Michelle Perkett Studio - your favourite colour combo +lace and pearls (I'm very fickle with colours but I love pastel pink and green together)

Sunday Stamper - lace

Flutter by Wednesday - sparkle + of course a butterfly angel or fairy

Paperplay - Shiny Happy People

Dare you 2 digi-stamp - Metal (the beaded flower is made using wire)

Raise the Bar - Lets spring for it - I thought the little buds and pastels were perfect for a spring card.

Pile it on - Easel Cards

Thanks for looking, have a good weekend
