Fairy Stamper ~ Tranquil Lake

 Hello friends and welcome to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

Today I'm visiting some older stamps in my stash.  I'm not sure if you remember, but about a year ago, I made a Fairy Stamper mug in collaboration with my daughter. (See that post HERE).  I keep the mug in my hobby room with all the small tipped brushes that I used for ink blending.  A crafty friend, who lives overseas, loves the mug.  It's not really practical to send her the mug because it might break in transit, but mostly because of all the import duties now being charged overseas.  So I thought I would make a card, similar to the mug, and send it to her :-)  This is what I came up with ...

I have tried numerous ways to photograph this card and can't capture the beauty of Moana's wings.  In the pic, they come out looking rather raggity.  I think it has something to do with the fact that I printed the background on glossy photo paper and then very carefully, and using a MISTI, I stamped the images using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.  For her wings, I went over the little spaces with a silver glitter glue pen and then added pearl glitter.  It looks stunning in real life, but I guess you'll have to take my word for it :-)

On the inside, I printed the same background, also onto glossy photo paper and just stamped the greeting.

I already told you above how I did Moana's wings, so now let me tell you how I did the daisies on the canoe. It was very simple, really, I used a white Signo pen and went over each leaf. On the center of each daisy I added a bead of glue and sprinkled gold glitter over it.

I like the way it came out, and even though it is not the same as the mug, I hope that she will like it.

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