Rock & Roll Fairy!

When I first saw this stamp, Rockstar Eyes (Alex) from SCACD, I knew it would only be a matter of time til she joined my collection of fairy stamps.

So, when I finally broke down and purchased her, I colored her immediately using Copic markers. As I was finishing the coloring, I realized that one of my colors was getting streaky, so I refilled the marker, then cleaned out the refilling needle thingy with Blender Fluid. A tiny drop of fluid fell onto her cheek and left an unsightly blotch. Irritated, I put it aside for another day. I came back to it a week or so later and said to myself, "Self, why not try to fix her cheek?" So I started adding layers of color and guess what? It worked!!! Yes, her complexion is darker than I initially wanted and her blush a bit more pronounced, but I figured she's a semi-Goth chickie, so what the heck and added more blush, eye makeup, and dark lipstick! Woot!

So here's my card, which will likely be used as either a thank you or a birthday card.



In addition to that stamp, I also used an old Odd Bird Planet stamp for the sentiment, old Memory Box patterned paper, plus some newer Viola Memory Box patterned paper. I die cut the Memory Box/Poppystamps flourish twice and positioned them behind her to act as sort of wing extensions.

The ribbon started life as sheer ribbon with black flourishes, but I used B66 to color it a bit, so it would blend in better.

So there you have it.
