Orchid Fairy

Hi again!  I'm back with a second post today.  If you are looking for my Little Miss Muffet DT post, please scroll down one post.  I have a card to share that I made for a few challenges.  One of them was ending soon, so I wanted to get it in.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Sage Shadow and the glittery and shimmery patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden 6.5x6.5 pad.  The stunning image is Orchid Fairy with Butterfly Wings from AuroraWings.  Mitzi has so many gorgeous digital stamps in her AuroraWings Etsy shop!  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Star Dust, Icicle, Diamond and Crystal Stickles to the bubbles, wings and her dress to make them sparkle.  I tried to add shimmer to the orchids with Viva Décor Rose Inka-Gold, but you can hardly see it in the photo and it dulled the coloring a little, I think.  Finally, I spritzed the whole image with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist (also hard to see).   I didn't add any embellishments as this had enough going on already.
 
Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by again!  I'll be around shortly to visit.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
