A Beautiful Floral Fairy Encouragement Card

Hello Creative's!
Welcome to INSPIRE!

I wanted to share my latest DT project for Rita Barakat Designs with you today.
A beautiful card of encouragement.


I was looking to make an inspirational/encouragement card, and I wanted it to evoke peace and gentleness.

And what is more gentle than the thought of a fairies wings? And what joy a fairy can bring.

That is the inspiration behind today's project.

I chose one of my favorite fairies from Rita's "Veil of the Fairies" collection.

For the gentle coloring of the card base and layering element, I used a variety of blue/green shades from Faber-Castell Gelato's, as well as a mixed media card, and delicate floral rub-ons from a FC Mixed Media kit.

I first applied the gelato's using an ombre' effect, from light to dark.

I lightly spritzed with water, and blended using my finger.




And of course there is GLITTER! For a shimmering textural element, I also used Aladine Diamonds Glitter Paint along with the Geometric Stencil and I also used Aladine Pigment Ink.




As with the textural elements and the fairy, I wanted a simple yet kind sentiment, so I chose one of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Talk Stickers.


This was such an easy project to do, and I just love the delicate theme of it all.
