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!

Love card in June...

Just in time to show you my new card! Although Valentines is now too far, I think that a love card is always welcome. So I thought why not to "Send a love card in June" to that special person.


I used my new sketch, the Rose, of my "Say it with Flowers Collection". I think it is a beautiful addition to a love card. As I do like too much 3D cards, I always printed the image 2 or 3 times and carefully cut out the details I want to highlight. In this case, the small rose has a second copy on top and to the big rose I cut out 2 more copies, I removed some petals in different parts and put the smaller piece on top. I think this can be seen better in the second picture.
