Inspiration Saturday...

Today on Splitcoast was the inspiration challenge and there were 3 different bedding displays from JC penny to gather inspiration from. I chose the second image...I loved the bright bold colours, the mix of polka dots, stripes and flowers... wonderfully girly! So, sticking with that theme I went for a super girly card. I finally inked up my "fairy nice" set I traded for months ago :o

I started out by choosing my colours to follow the inspiration piece: pixie pink, pretty in pink, green galore and a wee bit of tempting turquoise (in the patterned paper and her wings). I stamped my fairy onto watercolour paper and using paint brushes painted her in, layering a bit of darker colour in some areas for a bit of shading. I added some barely banana ink around her to really make her pop. Using my 2 way glue pen I also added some glitter around her...a wee bit of pixie dust if you will...lol. The layout is from Wednesday's sketch challenge.

The rest of the card is pretty straight forward I think. The pretty in pink panel was cuttlebugged with the swiss dots folder and the patterned paper is from Imaginisce and the thick plaid ribbon is by Making Memories (I think).
