Hi there! Kim L. here today to share my latest make for ScraPerfect. Do you like fairies? If so, you will love the card I just created. I am relatively new to the world of fairies, but am quickly falling in love with them. They inspired this card, I hope you like it:
I was inspired by the paper I found in my stash that I got from White Rose Crafts and challenged myself to use colors outside of my comfort zone. So I began by painting a purple glittered paint on my card for the background. I also swiped a purple ink around the edges of my card, inside and out front and back. Then I secured a green paint chip to the card using the Best Glue Ever of course with a small No Clog Writing Cap on top for precision. I only used small dots of glue since you only need a tiny amount for a great hold. Repeating this process, I finished my background with a white heart shaped paper doily and the fairy paper from my stash.

I added a pretty sequin trim around the portion that was painted purple with the Best Glue Ever in a thin line. I let this sit for a few minutes before working in that area on my card.
Now that my background was done, it is time to embellish my project. This is the part of the process that I enjoy most! I wanted to give my fairy some sparkle, so I covered her dress with the
Best Glue Ever and then gently shook a lavender Tiny Bottle of Embellishments over the dress and it turned out very pretty!
Some self adhesive gems were also added for interest, as well as two sequin stars in different shades of purple. On the top center of my card I added a lavender polka dot bow and a paper flower. I embellished the center of the flower with a dew drop from my stash, I adhered this to the flower with the Best Glue Ever and placed it perfectly using Embellie Gellie. This product is fabulous for placing tiny embellishments that are so hard to keep track of or get stuck to your fingers.
Trying something different, I also added pieces of my fairy paper to the inside and back of my card with the Best Glue Ever. I like how these details added a unique touch to my card.
I really appreciate you stopping by today to see my fairy themed card.
