Welcome to your first stop in the blog hop!
Today
SCACD is introducing the
Fairy Dust Collection!!! These six sweet and sassy fairies will make you smile and brighten anyone's day. Elisabeth Bell sprinkled just the right amount of cute, whimsy, and magic onto these special little fairies. These stamps are great for right now and will doubtless become classics in the future!
The
Fairy Dust Collection is available right now SCACD. International friends can get them at
Quixotic Paperie.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the gorgeous new additions to the SCACD Die collection. These dies are amazing and cut their intricate details with ease. Click

So without further ado, here's my first card, which features
Key to My Heart, together with the
Contempo Compass Statement Corner.
Key to My Heart was stamped with
Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then colored with Copic markers, which I'll list below.
Clear Gelly Roll Glaze Pen was used on the clock face and on various other spots to add dimension and shine. Her wings were painted with a layer of Winsor & Canson Iridescent Medium to make 'em glittery. The cloudy sky sky was colored with Copic markers as was the
Contempo Compass Statement Corner..
I chose the
KTMY Fairy's colors based on the patterned paper from the
Soho Gardens 6x6 pad by American Crafts.
Lace ribbon from my stash was colored with a BG23 Copic marker to be all matchy matchy. I'm cool like that.
Two
Cogworks chipboard gears by Make It Crafty were painted with Ranger Distress paint. Then the two cogs were pressed into the
Champagne Dazzle VersaMark pad and heat set with
Fine Detail Clear embossing powder. Twice. So that they would be really shiny to appeal to my inner magpie. A small watch charm was added to finish the card.
Here's my second card featuring the
Little Acorns, Big Dreams fairy together with
SCACD's Breezy Branches Statement Corner die cuts on each corner.
The
Little Acorns, Big Dreams fairy was stamped with
Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then colored with Copic markers, which I'll list below. I painted two layers of Winsor & Canson's Iridescent Medium onto her wings.
Ice White Viva Pearl Pen was used to accent the white dots on her toadstool.
The cloudy sky, both
SCACD's Breezy Branches Statement Corners, and the
Resting Birds Memory Box die cuts were colored with Copic markers. The colored branches were adhered to the top corners and the birds were added.
I wanted to keep the emphasis on the lovely spring scene, so I punched yellow cardstock, added a ribbon, a triple-loop bow, and called it done!
