Lilo's Fun Friday #9

Hello everyone,
Today I wanted to share this card I made for someone special.   Her birthday was last month and I didn't get a chance to make her one.  I hope she likes it.  I wanted to get a way from the Christmas theme so I pulled out some papers that I purchased at the last EXPO.  I thought the pretty Spring colors were very nice and the paper theme would allow me to just add a fun image and maybe a few accessories.  When choosing my image I went to some neglected fairies who I have not inked in quite some time.  I chose this sweet & sassy fairy from Sweet November, Chanter Heartsong.

I had so much fun coloring her.  With this paper I was able to play with some colors that I hardly touch if at all.  I finally broke out my Xpress-It paper for this card as I didn't want it messed up while coloring.  Although I love my Neenah paper, this Xpress-It paper is pretty awesome.  Just need to use it sparingly.  I'm not sure if you can see the glittler on her dress, shoes or wings, but it's there.  I took my layout from Amy Young's inspirations.  I love when she uses the paper to her advantage and then adds those pretty pearls all over the card.  I love how the flower anchors the card, but doesn't pull away from Chanter.  The butterflies also give the card a whimsical feel.  The sentiment is from AmyR.  Now if I can make cards like this all the time I would not stress out so much.. LOL!

If you would like to link up any project feel free to use the inlinkz button below and directly link your project.  I hope my friend receives this in the mail before today and enjoys it.  I had so much fun making it for her and although it's belated, the wish is definitely heartfelt.  :)

Okay friends, have a wonderful Friday and MAHALO for your continued support and comments, they are truly a joy to read. :)
