Mixed Messages...

Happy Saturday night! Hope your weekends got off to a great start- mine sure did I spent the day with my sister at the Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Convention that was in town! (but more about that in my next post...)

This card is for the Caardvarks 'fantasy' challenge and the Hero Arts challenge!

For Hero Arts we were supposed to use multiple word sets to create our own messages. I decided that I wanted to use my 'go-to' stamps of these Japanese dolls- I can't wait to get my hands on their newly released Chinese Dolls! I wanted to something a little different this time... I inked up a butterfly stamp & gave her wings!

For the message part of the card, I only inked the sentiment portion of the round Special Messages stamp in versamark ink. I think stamped each word separately (it's originally 1 line) from the "sending warm wishes" sentiment to get an overlap effect.

So here is my fairy doll!

And a closer look at the sentiment

Supplies: Four Dolls; Special Messages; All Occasion Messages; Heart-winged Butterfly (all Hero Arts), KI Memories paper lace, Scalloped circle nestabilities (Spellbinders), Prima flowers, Pearl gems, Copic markers
