The Fairy of Goodwill

Hi! Today I will show you, of my "Fairies Collection”, The Fairy of Goodwill. I like to think that the world would be a little better with a minimum of goodwill. I'm sure many of you agree with me. I guess Fairies can also spread this message:)

I made this card with a wonderful sketch of Fridays Sketch and I also include some details to make it good to enter it in other challenges. I printed the drawing 2 times and cut out by hand and carefully drawing that I used as second layer. I like to paint all layers of my drawings, because I believe that final result has a better look. One of the background layers was dry embossed and I highlighted it with a light coat of glossy acqua green color paint. I think it looks very nice. I used the same paint to the fairy dress. I painted the wings with glitter and the hearts coming out of her basket of flowers (and hearts) have a crystal clear finish.
I hope you like it!

The Fairy of Friendship...

Today I will show you a new drawing of my little Collection "Fairies": The Fairy of Friendship.

This drawing represents solidarity and goodwill. I made this card with the Mojo Monday Sketch 146. For the background I used a gorgeous cardstock that has beautiful glossy flowers. I printed the drawing twice, for the 3D effect. For this, I cut with my small scissors, and much time and patience:) the small figures of the Fairy and two of the three girls.


I like to paint all the layers of the design and I painted them with watercolors. To the girls’ skirts I add a thin coat of glitter paint. I painted the Fairy dress with glossy paint and wings sparkle with glitter paint. The ribbons of cardstock of the background were dry embossed and I added a beautiful organza ribbon dyed in tones of turquoise and green. I added a small metal butterfly on the bow. Soon I will show you the next Fairy of my Collection!
