Fairies Collection ~ Second Fairy...

Here I show you the second Fairy of my new Collection:

I decided to draw the collection with different faces and hair, to make them more interesting. This one is blond and has blue eyes. There is a lot of glitter on this card. I used beautiful glittered paper and I painted the wings of the fairy, the butterfly on the top and the little pink flowers with glitter paint. I made the big pink flowers using different punch papers. Now, I am thinking about the sentiment that I will add, because I'm sure that fairies should bring a positive message.

Card supplies:
Image of EdithDesigns© (me!), Bazzill cardstock, 140 lb. watercolor paper, DCWV The Garden Party Glitter Collection paper, Caran D’Ache watercolors, Glitter paint, flowers and butterfly punch paper, brown rhinestones, organza ribbon, silk off white thread and my sewing machine.

Hi Friend!


Finally a new card! I used the sketch of a Mojo Monday Challenge, but on the way I discovered that there was room to show it in other challenges. I used my drawing Dee the Bee, Hi Friend! I printed it twice to make it in 3D. I painted each layer with watercolors and carefully cut out Dee and the flower. The wings have glitter and they look very delicate. I added a butterfly that I drew long ago. This time I painted it with Photoshop. I had not done it before and I found it very easy and the result is very nice. I printed it two times and glue the two images to give the bottom, although not shown, a more delicate finish.

Card supplies:
Images of EdithDesigns© Corner'Shop, Bazzill cardstock, miscellaneous designer paper, watercolor 140lb cardstock, Caran d'Ache watercolors, glitter, Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Square, yellow tulle, pale yellow button, white silk thread and my sewing machine.

Special RAK for Jayme...

Today there is no card for a Challenge. I made this card for Lisa's sister Jayme:




I knew about Jayme's situation in different blogs and I felt I should send her one of my cards, that I hope to bring her a smile. She likes frogs, so I use my Prince Toad 1.

There is a special event on Lisa's Blog, to bring love and cheers to her sister
. I hope my card can make her smile:)

Between flowers…

Here are my Giraffes family for Mother's Day! I think it is a cute drawing. It is "almost" a family photo LOL! The Giraffes and the frame of the drawing are in 3D.


I made this card using a sketch of a challenge and as it has many layers, I thought I did not have to add many embellishment. I have other drawings of the "jungle little animals" and I guess I will show you them later:)

Finally! Here is my new card. As always, as I started from zero (I mean from the drawing), it takes me too much time to make my cards. There is a lot of dedication and time involved on this card.

On the inside I added beautiful decorative stitches that I made with gold silk thread.
