Hello everybody!!
Wow the response to my candy (on top of my blog until this Saturday) has been amazing until now, and not only that, my number of followers has grown a lot since I started the candy as well. So welcome new followers and loyal older ones :). A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a fabulous candy pack over at
Amy's blog. This candy was to celebrate to release of the gorgeous new Fairwee's by Sweet November stamps for All That Scraps and since I adored those cute little Fairwees and most of all little
Josie, who I won, I couldn't have been happier. Next to sweet little Josie there was also paper, embellies and a gorgeous card by Amy herself in the pack... you can see the complete candy
HERE. I loved how Amy had put sweet Josie on a mushroom so I ordered that one from All That Scraps together with some matching sentiments and other fairies and here is my first result with my latest wins and buys:
On this card,
Fairwee Josie, the
CC Designs Swiss Mushroom which I ordered but already owned (I know....) so there is one of these in my candy as well,
CC Designs Swiss Two butterflies which I have as stamps but I could only find as digi's on the ATS site now, and the
"Hope your day is Magical" sentiment stamp also from Sweet November stamps. The orange dotted paper is by Imaginisce and was in the Candy by Amy, the grass was punched using my Fiskars Grass Punch. The green ribbon is by
Wild Orchid Crafts as are the roses, rose buts and mulberry flowers. The Daisy Double flowers and the shimmer dots on the sentiment I bought from
Creative Treasures and that was my first order there. Have to tell you guys that my first order never arrived but after contacting them about it they told me they had prove of shipment but would send my order out again nevertheless and it was here in FOUR days, from the UK!! Now that's service! Got some other very pretty flowers from there as well, will show them later. The green dotted paper I have had in my stash for ages. The leaf was done with my new
Nestabilities Foliage and the circle with the pretty border was cut using
THESE dies. Some hand stitching, some white and green cardstock and I think I have mentioned it all. Here is a close up of Fairwee Josie:
Colored with Copics and 3D paper pieced as always, here are the little parts for the lovers:
And a side view so you can see the 3D better:
And finally the sentiment in close up:
That's it!! Hope you like this card! Don't forget my candy people, on top of my blog!!
Take care!!

Now I'm pushing it... I know :). A card yesterday and then again today..... where does this creativity and time come from. Not to worry, this is just the third image I had pre-colored in August and I had everything about this card sorted out and pre-cut a couple of weeks ago but never got around to finishing it. Here is the card put together:
I so LOVE this Pearl Tidepool stamp with her turtle friend by Sweet November stamps... in fact, I love all of the mermaids out of that collection, I don't have them all but they are all VERY cute. The materials used are all from an older Card Art kit containing papers and pearls from Kaiser Crafts. I was very sad to hear from Carmen that she has had to make the tough decision to stop the monthly kits, it just takes to much out of her. If you have been receiving her gorgeous kits in the past or if you still are you know how fantastic the kits always are and I'm sure you'll miss receiving them in you mail as much as I do!
Coloring again with Copics only and again 3D paperpieced for extra dimension and stickled up for some extra sparkle :).
