Fairy garden

During my Christmas chill out I decided to colour this beautiful Orchid Fairy digi from Aurora Wings.  I decided to colour the flowers pink and the fairy in shades of yellow to give her a golden glow.  I used ProMarkers to do this.  I wanted her wings to shine and sparkle so I painted some glue onto her wings then sprinkled DecoArt glitter onto them and some of the surrounding flowers.  I've done a close up so you can see the effect on her wings.

Once I had the image finished I decided to use papers from Lili of the Valley/Raspberry Road Designs - Timeless Victorian, Antebellum and Lili of the Valley/NitWit Solids - Bonnets and Bowties and Solids - Always and Forever.  To give the card a more old fashioned vintage feel I distressed the papers.  The lace underneath the image is from Ribbon Girl.

I've added in this close up image of the flowers and leaves I've used.  They're a selection from Wild Orchid Crafts and Ribbon Girl.  The only other embellishments I've used are a pearl swirl and some self adhesive clear rhinestones.

I don't usually show so many pictures of my cards but thought you might appreciate a closer look at some of the detail.

Hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas
