Before I start, I'd like to give a big welcome to my new follower, Di Howard. It's really nice of you to join me, thank you :)
I'm sat here today full of cold as I write this post today, so not much getting done here other than drinking Lemsip and a little card making, which is definitely making me feel better :)
If you're reading this Mac, I did dust my fairy stamps off and here's what I've made with one of them:
I started by using Ink Dusters to colour my white card. I used some Adiroondack Butterscotch in the center and used my new Distress inks, Abandoned Coral and Wilted Violet around the edges. I then stamped the fairy with Versafine Black Onyx and stamped the flowers and hanging vines around her. I sponged around the edges with the Violet and then with Memento Tuxedo Black to frame the image. I stamped two extra pairs of wings with snippets of card and then embossed them with a Transparent Crystal emsossing powder to give them a bit of sparkle. I shaped them with a bone folder to give the wings dimension.
The fairy looks jet black in reality but unfortunately, the flash on the camera has bleached her out a little. I finished the card by creating an outer frame by sponging with the Coral and Violet and then stamping around the edge with a Lavinia flower.
The stamps that I've used are by: Lindsay Mason, Inkylicious and Lavinia.

Always love to see a fairy or two Sandra, this one is very pleasing on the eye and they way you have graduated the inking to draw the eye.
A great entry for both the challenges, many thanks for joining in at Penny Black and More and FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping Challenge.
Hope you feel better soon.

Yes I am here...always so pleased when your blog post drops into my list for me to open x Loving that fairy stamp and what you've done on her wings, gorgeous. I always find it hard to get a deep black and maybe one day will find some pennies for a Misti...that might help me? You don't need one as your stamping is fabulous x Love the double framing and the gorgeous colours you've used. Such a pretty and delicate card...off now to use my fairy stamps xxx
Forgot to say...get well soon and keep warm x
