Have a fairy sweet day!

Hi!  After I cleaned my desk I found this sweet Tiddly Inks Wryn -- Fairy Friends all printed out and waiting for me to color her up for Sweet Stamping Pixies Challenge #3 -- fave fairy/pixie and Tiddly Inks Challenge #87 -- flowers.  Wryn is such a cutie and I love her as a fairy, definitely one of my favorites!

This card came out so much larger than I intended!  Just about 6.25 inches.  The front is about an inch or so larger than the folded card itself.  But I really didn't want to shrink it.  I used my Perfect Layers rulers for all the mats.  Definitely helps when I'm feeling lazy to get up and use my paper cutter.  I don't have a scallop square that large either so I just cut 2 and layered it and covered the corners with flowers and the sentiment.  I rounded the corners too as advised by my daughter!  I think I agree that it looks better like that! 

Added some stickles to her wings, flowers and the butterflies.  Colored in some clear rhinestones with my orange Copic.  I added some blue chalk in the background but that's hard to see.  I also extended the grass too with my black Copic multiliner.  

My hubby is too logical sometimes asking me why she is smaller than the mushroom but larger than the butterflies and snail.  I don't know.  Does everything have to make sense?  He is also the one to point out that my highlights are in the wrong place.  But really, I just want to color and make stuff that's cute without having to think if there is a right or wrong way.  I think Kim Hughes from Paper Smooches had mentioned something about not having a wrong way to create cards.  And that's what I try to remind myself, to have more fun and less stress designing a card.  Cause really, who needs more stress??

Thanks so much reading!

O my! This is wonderful Eva! Super cute and totally sweet! You don't have to worry about anything, this is fabulous, from the coloring to the layout to the size of everything. You should challenge him to create a card and see what he comes up with. hahaha!
Take care and Have a great Monday!
;)
Pfft... men! I chalk it up to that. ;) I think your coloring is gorgeous, as well as your card! Loving the little details on here Eva, it's absolutely beautiful! So happy you joined us at Tiddly Inks!!
hugs, Leah :)
Oh my Eva, I had a good chuckle after reading what you wrote about your hubby.. Because mines is the same way as your hubby.... Usually after when I'm done with any card he likes to see it and gives me an opinion on it. Or he'll comment on it like why does this image has such big eyes, or why does her legs looks too skinny for her body or why does he/she has to have a head that is bigger than their bodies and so on and so on....
But hey I'll just give him a smile and space out his comments. LOL!
Your card is awesome regardless what our men say!.
Enjoy your Monday...(hehe)

Cute card! Great idea with the scalloped squares! Love that your cardmaking involves the whole family! The coloring is so pretty! I actually don't see whatever your husband is noticing about the highlights... which is probably why I can never figure out where the highlights go in the first place!
Rachel Parys said…
Amen to that! Sometimes I definitely over-think it! She is adorable and perfectly colored! I haven't bought her ...yet... ;)

Obviously he doesn't believe in fairies! Maybe in her neck of fairyland that's the way things are!
hehe!
Love your card, so pretty!
So sweet. Love your coloring and layout.
Tons of Hugs, Dangina

Tell your hubs that the snail and butterflies are far away, & that's why they look small! And, yes, there is no wrong way to make a card! Lovely and cute!

nuts and bolts

Hello!  Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy.  I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with.  I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles .  You can find the pattern HERE .  Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute.  But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not.  It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use.  Here is a different view of him.  Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom.  I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot.  I tried stitching one h...

Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those.  I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag.  I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

Snowman gift card holder

Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...
