Sending Sunshine with Deborah Hellman

Today we’re rolling out the red carpet for Deborah Hellman and this soft, beautiful fairy card featuring our July Crafty Crew Kit. We love how Deborah paired the sweet fairy image with dreamy patterned paper layers, soft scalloped borders, and a delicate butterfly accent. This project is such a lovely example of how gentle color, layered paper, and sweet stamped images can come together to create a handmade card full of sunshine and charm.

Here’s what Deborah had to say about the project:

Hi everyone! Deborah here and I’m super excited to share with you my second fairy card that I created using the new July Crafty Crew Kit. For my card, I used the Wings & Wishes and the Flutterbys & Blooms Stamp Set, as well as the Rainbow Butterflies & Alcohol Inks Pattern Paper.

After stamping and cutting out my images on white cardstock, I selected my cardstock. Once I had selected my paper colors, I colored my images using alcohol ink markers making sure to select colors that coordinated with my papers. I decided for this second card to color my fairy using a much softer color palette.

Copic Marker Colors Used:

• Hair - E 00, 50, 51, 53
• Skin - E 00, 01, 11, 13; R 20, 30
• Leaves - BG 11, 34
• Flowers - R 20, 21, 23, 30
• Dress & Shoes - B 91, 93; BG 0000
• Wings - B 0000, 000; R 000, 00, 01
• Eyes - B 000, 91, 93
• Bow - R 000, 00, 01, 20
• Small Butterfly - RV 55; R 00, 000;
• B 000, 0000; E 50, 51, 53

A2 card layer dimensions:

• Base layer - 4¼" x 5½"
• Rectangle Band - 4¼" x 1¾"

 

To complete the card, I assembled and attached the cut cardstock, colored stamped images, and sentiments. I also added adhesive tape foam behind all of my colored images and sentiments for some added dimension and some enamel dots.
