Butterfly Fairy Curtsy by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

Hello, dear friends!  There's a new challenge starting today on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog.

The theme is "Anything Goes".  Here is my DT inspiration:

Isn't she lovely?  The image is "Butterfly Fairy Curtsy", found in Vera's esty shop here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/202535029/digital-stamp-butterfly-fairy-curtsy?ref=shop_home_active_217

This sweet fairy is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I found the free scrabble tiles on the Internet.  I printed the letters that I needed and fussy cut them.  A bit of a challenge because they are so tiny...LOL.  Then, I coloured them and raised them with 3-D foam.  

Thank you for visiting.  I really appreciate it.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Foliage:      Cottage Cutz "Greenery" dies
