Holly Fairy


There seem to be wonderful new digi-artists to discover each day. Another new-to-me is Michelle Perkett, who has made beautiful rubber stamps for some time that I coveted, but which weren't easily available in the UK. Michelle specialises in detailed, glamorous angels - this one is the Holly Fairy, though I think she's more of a poinsettia fairy :).

I've followed the sketch for Sketch & Stash, who want new and old stash listed: New stash is the image and the card candy (bought at the NEC). Old stash is the Stampin Up papers I've used and the watercolour paints that I used for the background.

I'm also entering this card is Stampin' for the Weekend's Challenge, which is to use the traditional Christmas colours of red, green and gold. I like the way the traditional colours still work with a less than traditional image here.

Image coloured with Copics on a watercolour background, Stickles, Glossy Accents and Flowersoft "snow" added. Papers from Stampin' Up, card candy from Craftwork Cards.

    I thought mine were going funny when I saw white dots floating about and then realised you had got snow falling!!!!!
    This angel is gorgeous. The words are beautiful.
