On a beautiful August night, Gianna and Mr Frog are relaxing on Gianna's Lake, and enjoying a quite conversation.
I love water lilies. They're so pretty and delicate, and remind of my home in South Africa. We had a beautiful koi pond in our front yard. In it we had Koi fish, pink lilies, white lilies and a Black Lab x Rottweiler, Sasha 😀 Yes, you read it right! Sasha loved spending her days just walking around in the pond. Never harmed any of the fish or the lilies as big and clumsy as she was. 😀 I think that was what she missed the most when we moved to Texas, no pond and no pool at the time.
So before I take a stroll down Memory Lane and bore you all to bits, let me tell you about my card. I started with a slimline piece of cardstock (8.75" x 3.75") and stamped my images using VersaFine Clair Nocturn ink. Next I took my polychromos and gamsol and coloured in the waterfall, the water, the sky, and the flowers. I carried the theme onto the inside of the card by stamping one of the lilies and a couple of dragon flies. I stamped the sentiment using the same black ink for a clean and crisp image. Once all this was done, I added a little glitter to Gianna's wings and to the dragonfly wings. I should have made the lake water a little darker since it is night time, but this is Fairyland, and in Fairy Land, Gianna's lake has a magical glow at night y'all! 😀
Here is the list of supplies I used. I have linked each one to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.
Fairy Hugs stamps - Gianna's Water Lily, Waterfall, Wild Leaves,
Lea'bilities stamps - Swan Family
Fairy Hugs glitter - Translucent Pearl, Translucent Flamingo, Ocean
The Swan Family stamp, from Lea'bilities, was purchased during an European Stamps sales event that Fairy Stamper holds every so often.

Till next time,

A gorgeous card Lena, inside and out, as usual!! Your Sasha sounds like a character. Our Bowie LOVES streams and puddles, the muddier the better and he literally dunks himself, winter and summer regardless. With this in mind we bought Bowie and Bumble a paddling pool for hot days...will they use it? Not on your Nelly!! Martin and I have used it more than they have xx
ReplyDeleteLena, this is precious! Your daydreaming fairy is adorable, and I love that you didn't overlook the design on the inside of the card. A sweet, sweet card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, Lena xoxo
