Fairy Queen Violet

Hello bloggers!  Today I am sharing a card I made as Guest DT for the Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.  I am thrilled and honored to join this fine DT for their current challenge. 

The sponsor is one of my favorite digi companies - A Day for Daisies.  I really love their images.  The theme for the challenge #37 is 'Use Your Favorite Embellishment'. 

 The image I am using is a new one, which I love called Fairy Queen Violet, and my favorite embellishment is flowers, of course! 

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, R32 & R20; hair - E23, E29 & E37; flowers - RV25 & RV23; dress - B0000, B000, B00 & B02; wings - BG000, BG00, BG01, BV0000, BV000 & BV01. I added Wink of Stella to her wings, and used stickles for her glass slipper.  The image is printed on x-press paper. 

For my card I used Bazzill cardstock, Graphic 45 paper, and Wild Orchid flowers. I bought this stencil from Buddly Crafts ages ago, but this is my first time using it, and I am in love!    I do hope you like her.  Please head on over to the Crafty Friends Challenge Blog to join in the fun, and to check out the inspiration from their amazing DT!  Have a lovely day!
