Anyway, for this card, I used a beautiful fairy image from Oxford Impressions' Fairy Sweets plate, which I colored with Copics, and trapped her inside a round fragment, using Currant and Cranberry alcohol inks for the technique. The flowers in the foreground are Magenta's Dogwood Bloom, and the clear embossed ones in the background are from Close to My Heart (the Treasure Life set, which was a special one month... don't know if it's still available). The other background stamps I used are from the Glitz Design "Distressed" set. I used lots of Distress Inks (scattered straw, mustard seed, wild honey, spiced marmalade, and fired brick). A touch of Diamond Stickles went in the middle of the dogwoods for a little fairy sparkle. Hmmmm.. I guess that's it. I gotta tell ya, I had tons of fun using these warm, bright colors - way outside my box, but I had fun out there, tee hee!
Hope you're having a crafty weekend!

Love what you did with the color and CCC challenge! Your flowers and fragment image are wonderful! Love it!
Jean, this is magical and absolutely stunning! Your inked fragment with the little fairy couldn't be more perfect, and wow, are those colors gorgeous!
I love the white flower silhouettes in the background-- they give this piece so much depth, and those big, happy orange dogwood flowers are so sweet and inviting.
I'd say you completely rocked TWO challenges with this one! ♥
Absolutely gorgeous!

Absolutely beautiful Jean and your fragment is so perfect with such a great image. The layers of flowers and text give such a feeling of depth and such wonderful colours too. A stunning piece of art. :D

I love what you did with this color combo!
Jean, I love your piece! The combo of the fragment art and the colors in the card are really eye catching and pleasing. Orange is a happy color after all. I just saw that you live in Cary, small world, I live in Wake Forest just north of Raleigh! I just browsed through your blog and I must say I am a fan and now a follower. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. Marnie
