Pixie dust

Here's the card I made.

I absolutely love the adorable Pixie Perfect stamp set. I used one of three of the fairies included in this set. I chose the fairy that looks like she's flying and ready to cast magic with her fairy dusts at least this is how I pictured her. I started by cutting a piece of Spectrum Noir cardstock. I stamped the fairy on the center of the panel using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I then masked it using Stick It adhesive. Once the masked covered the fairy image I began ink blending with distress oxide. I used the colors victorian velvet in the center to make the fairy glow, then dusty concord, blueprint sketch. Then I used MFT A2 stitched rectangles to cut the panel. I darken the edges with black soot regular distress ink. 

I created a lot of splatter on this card to make it look like fairy dust. I used a combination of water, white gouache, perfect pearls and gansai tambi watercolors. Once my panel was completely dry, I peeled off the masking. I colored the fairy with copic makers and added stickles to her wings.  

For the sentiment I white heat embossed on vellum and framed it using Sunny Studios Fancy Frames die. If the fairy dust wasn't enough I also added tiny yellow stars all around her. I know I went over board but this fairy card called for it. I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by!
