Happy Friday!!! It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog. This week, the challenge is: Magical Creatures
And our fabulous sponsor is:
Oddball Art
Here is my card for your inspiration:
I've had this sweet image from Oddball Art for quite a while and finally pulled it out to color it up. It has a sentiment that goes along with it, but I wanted to use a different one, so I masked out the sentiment when I printed it out. I cut the panel with a stitched die and colored the image with my spectrum noir markers. I die cut the banner and stamped the sentiment on it. For a little fun and sparkle, I added gold glitter pen to the fairy's wings and some glossy accents to her eyeglasses. You can see it in the photo below:
This card will be for my middle child. She is a serious bookworm and I think she will love it!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
