Smiles


Good morning, I'm joining in with Team Wends for this week's challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme this week is 'Cute' and  think this fits the bill! The baby fairy is a Mo Manning image, one of the first digis I bought, 9 years ago,  because it looks exactly  like my granddaughter Ruby did at the time (minus pointed ears and wings!)- she probably would have been eating the flower though! Just look at the chubby legs (yum!)-  now she is 10 and  has great long skinny legs and isn't a lot shorter than me! She's still cute though! 
I coloured the little fairy with copics  and the background with distress inks.  I used the sketch for this month's challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil

Do hop over and take a look at the Sweet Stampin' Challenge blog- there's loads of lovely creations to be enjoyed and I hope you'll be inspired to play along this week.
Thanks for stopping by, stay safe and have a great week.
Chris

This is cute with a capital C, Chris! I enjoyed reading about how you purchased it because it reminded you of your chubby-legged granddaughter ... now long and lean and 10 years old! And it all happened in the blink of an eye! You do such a brilliant job with the coloring, texturing, and layering! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell

Great colouring and great colour and paper choices on this oh so pretty card! I love the distressed inking you have done for this cute fairy’s background. You made me laugh mentioning that Ruby didn’t have wings or pointy ears! Thank you for playing along with our sketch challenge at Mo's in May. We have a new "Anything Goes with a Mo image" challenge starting today and we hope to see you join in the fun. Stay safe!
