Fairy Stamper ~ Berry Picking

    Hello friends and welcome to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

This was inspired by a childhood memory of cherry picking.  I remember going with my aunt and uncle to friends of theirs who had a cherry tree orchard. I was only about 7 or 8 at the time, so this was many, many moons ago. But I still remember the elation of climbing the trees with a little basket to pick cherries.  Of course, since they're are my favourite fruit, very few made into the basket, and those few that did got gobbled up on the way back to the house 😀

Now I know that these are not cherries, but I can only imagine that Fairy Berries are as sweet, and juicy, and as delicious as can be!

If you notice, Amia doesn't even have a basket near by.  Why bother, right? None will make in there anyways 😀

I began by inking in the ground, then stamping the berries in light green.  Next I went over all the berries with a red Faber Castell pencil.  This faded the little spots on the berries, so in order to get them back I used a Signo  white pen. Then it was time to stamp Amia positioning her just right to give the impression that she is picking a berry. I used a red glaze pen to give her dress a little dimension and colour. Her wings were coloured in shades of green and blue and then dusted over with glitter.  Lastly, I stamped the greeting, a few butterflies, and added little tufts of grass and small bushes to the ground.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment, another few butterflies and a delicious looking berry.

Now for the list of supplies I used to make this card, all linked to the Fairy Stamper store for your convenience.
