A Little Bit of Magic Card

I love fairies and whimsical images such as these. I knew I liked this stamp set as soon as I saw it in the Summer Mini Catalog. They were fun to color and I also tried out some Smooch Spritz (as you can see in the background). The wings on both fairies have dazzling diamonds glitter. I colored the images with Watercolor Wonder crayons, used Old Olive grosgrain and added a Playground Designer Button (More Mustard).

Another Tropical Party Card Design

No surprise, but I joined another swap... a few days before they were due! Luckily, I had time on the weekend to stamp and create some designs. This card uses the same colors as the previous one. The difference is that I decorated the inside with flowers, leaves and a strip of designer series paper. The coconut was created with a 1-3/4" circle (punched out) of chocolate chip cardstock, backed with whisper white. I continued the jagged cut of the coconut with jagged lines drawn with Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive, which were covered with Fine Supernova (Chocolate) Stampin' Glitter. Twill Tape ties everything together. I was thinking about how gigantic the coconut drink is in comparison to the coconut stamp (with the straw and umbrella), so my friend Kathy suggested the possibility of using two straws!
