Birthday Wishes and Dreams

Hello stampers! Today I have a sweet fairy card using images from Wishes and Dreams. I'm all sparkly now, since I broke out the glitter for this card. Don't you find that no matter how careful you are, you always come away with a few stray bits clinging to you? More details below, but for now..
Check out these links for even more inspiration:

For the hair, I started with my E49 Copic marker.

Added E57.

Filled in most of the way with E55 and then used my blender pen to soften the highlights.

After blending, I used E49 again to add some texture.

Started with E37 for the shadows on the skin.

Added E35.

Added E33.

Filled in with E31 and pushed some highlights back in with my blender pen.

Used E57 to deepen the shadows.

Used E53 on the wings.

Filled in most of the way with E51 and used my blender pen to soften the highlights.

Started with V09 on the dress.

Added V06.

Filled in with V1 and used my blender pen to add some highlights. After coloring, I cut out the fairy.

For the background, I started by sponging Memento Cantaloupe in the center (not pictured), then sponged Memento Angel Pink.

Sponged Memento Rose Red.

Stamped the starry swirl with Memento Lulu Lavender ink. Stamped the sentiment with Tuxedo Black.

I used my Quickie Glue pen on the stars and added yellow and iridescent glitter.

I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Passionate Pink, then used an Innocent Pink card base. The ribbon is from the Gold Lined Ribbon Assortment and the button from the Romance Button Assortment.

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful day!
