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 HERE to take a look. If you're overseas, click HERE!
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!

Hi Kathi....thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I really appreciate your time and thoughts. I also wanted to tel you that I think your card you are featuring on your blog is absolutely darling! Your background paper with the various colored flowers is so cute. You've done such a fantastic job of coloring with the Copics. I have never used them....and I must say, I am truly amazed at some of the work I've seen with them. Love your fairy girl sitting on the key. So cute and so beautifully done. Your other embellishments you've added to your card are also very nice. <3 Candy
