Isabella again!

Hi everyone, hope all is well in blogland. I am really loving this little faerie from The Emerald Faerie Garden  - Isabella. I have coloured her with Promarkers and used an Xcut Circle nesting die to cut her out. I inked around the edge with distress ink. The sketch is from Sunday Sketch and Stamp which incidently is being sponsored by Tracey at The Stamping Boutique - my new DT. The sketch is here..............

I have used papers from the First Edition pack called Sweet Owl - the triangles and pink polka dots. I have matted the polka dot paper onto Kraft card and the bottom tag is also made from kraft. The sentiment is from  Lili of the Valley a set called Inspirational Sentiments.
Here is a closeup of the card...........

The flowers were from my stash with a jewel brad from Papermania. The leaves were from a punch - can't find a link to it sorry, and the swirls are from a Mariannes Design Creatables - Frame and swirls - cut out of pink glitter card. I have also glittered the faeries and butterflies wings.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:-

Emerald Faerie - Isabella

I can't believe I have only just found these gorgeous images from The Emerald Faerie Garden, they are so cute. I have used the Isabella(digi) stamp, and here is a closer look..........

I have tried something I have seen on other cards - the shine down the front of her tights. I have used a Spellbinders die and then I went round the outside of the die for the layer underneath which is whitewash Core'dinations. Sje has been coloured with Promarkers and then the wings are glittered. The border is an EK Success punch out of pink glitter card. The swirl is a Marianne die. I made the flower using three different sized circles out of the same DP and whitewash card. I dietressed the edges and shaped them and just free handed the leaves - with added glitter for the veins. The DP is a First Editions pack called Spring Feast. Finally the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley - a sentiment set called Dreamy Days. Oh and how could I forget the button at the centre of my flower - from the Papermania  Capsule collection.
