The Fairy of the Fruit...

I love making cards for challenges. I appreciate very much every visit and comment I get, because I think the ladies of the Design Teams give us much time looking at the cards and writing comments:)

Having said that, I will show you my new card...

Today I made a card with the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 148. I used one of my last drawings of my "Fairies Collection". I had in mind all the kids which do not like eating fruit. This is “The Fairy of the Fruit" which is telling us one of her secrets: the Fairies love fruit. I like 3D drawings on my cards, so I printed the image 2 times and cut out the fairy carefully. The background cardstock was dry embossed and highlighted with glitter. The designer papers also have glitter. I painted the drawing with watercolors little wings Shines with glitter and the fruit has a crystal finish. As embellishments, I also added to the Fairy’s hair 4 tiny rhinestones flowers.

Strawberries....

I really enjoy drawing these strawberries, which are part of my collection of fruits and flowers. I could almost smell its pleasant aroma. I love them!

I painted them with watercolors and my La Plume markers. I emphasized the small points of strawberries with black and gold, but unfortunately they are not noticeable in the picture. To design this card I have used card stock burgundy color and I have added silver card stock on the bottom, which I think combine very well. The strawberry-colored ribbon adds a lovely touch.
