August Theme Swap - Fantasy

Fantasy today means Fairies to me so I have used a selection ... digital images and stamping.



My first card is an image I have had for absolutely ages .... its origins lost in the annals of time, but if it's yours please let me know.
I fussy cut the image after printing it several times so that it could be decoupaged, and when finished I added some stickles to the wings.  I attached the fairy to a printed out background taken from one of my books.


My second card uses an image from A Day for Daisies.  I used watercolour pencils, drawing out the colour with a water brush, and added some stickles to the wings.  I drew a border round the edge of the card, a first for me and one that I am very pleased with. 


I water-coloured the background for this card and when it was dry,stamped out a fairy from a magazine set.  I used some gelpen to add a touch of colour to her dress, hair, and butterfly.  I water-coloured some of the leaves as I did not want to distract from the fairy.  A small sentiment was placed in the top left corner and then I attempted to draw a border round the edges - not so successfully this time!

I have received the following cards:
