Fairy Grace

I fell in love with fairies a long time ago when I saw the movie Legend. The Stamp Doctor has a beautiful line of fairy stamps that made me think of the movie. The image I chose for today is her ATC size Butterfly Fairy. I used my go to Inktense pencils for coloring. I was having a bit of trouble getting the skin quite right for what I envisioned though so I used my Copic markers (E000, E00, E02, R20 for her cheek) and voila! Perfect!!  For her eye and lips, I went back to the Inktense pencils. The sky was colored with Copic market BG10 again because I just couldn't get it quite right with my pencils. I used clear Wink of Stella on the flower centers, her thumbnail, and the butterfly. This image is so gorgeous that I had to do a background that would do it justice. I tried a few different types of medium for my background but finally decided to go with Ken Oliver's Color Bursts in Alizaren Crimson, Orange, and Lemon Yellow. OMG did it ever come our fabulous!! You may be seeing more of the color bursts in the future. To finish the card, I matted each piece on black cardstock and use foam tape behind the fairy image.  I think this is more a work of art than just a card though!! What do y'all say?

I decided to do something different today and went with a super cute treat box. These boxes are a new addition to The Stamp Doctor and are available in large and small.  I have so many ideas percolating for these right now, it's crazy! So, I stamped out a few images from the Doggone Dog stamp set, colored them with my Inktense pencils and die-cut them with the coordinating dies.  This may be my first Stamp Doctor project with no glitter anywhere! (Gasp!! LOL)  Then I took the Candy Box Topper die and assembled it according to the super easy instructions which are included. There are also images on the packaging to help you get the dies aligned properly for the best results. The instructions and images make this super easy and pretty fool proof.  As a matter of fact, all of the Stamp Doctor products are made to make your creative time a breeze!! Once the top was cut, stamped and assembled, I adhered a die-cut dog bone for a little pop of color.  After assembling the box bottom, I adhered the doghouse to the inside edge of the back and the dog and bowl to the inside of the front. The "Yappy Ruffday!" sentiment is included in the stamp set.  The bottom is cute as a little 3-D decoration if you wanted to display it as such.  Once I popped the box into shape, I filled it with little dog biscuits.  Close the box, set it into the bottom, pop the top on, tie it with ribbon, adhere a biscuit to the top and this box is ready to be given to your doggie owner friends!! Sadly, I did not get the photo of the filled box. I'll upload one next time I make a box with dog treats.
