Are you ready for some purple and a little spring? I know that I am ready for spring; me and this cold wet weather do not get along at all. My project is dripping in purple and will make you want the warmer weather.
I would like to introduce you to “The Fuchsia Sprite” by
Mitzi Sato-Wiuff. She is a new artist that was introduced to us all by SweetPea Stamps. Mitzi’s images will all be rubber stamps.
I love all things fantasy! Mitzi’s images are right up my
alley and so much fun to color with Copics. After the coloring I die cut the
image with Spellbinder’s Card Creator A2 Curved Basics die. After the cutting
and embossing I distressed the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. This
little sprite was then layered on Stampin’ Up!’s Elegant Eggplant cardstock.
Skin: E000, 00, 11, BV000, R02
Flower petals: V000, 01, 04, 05, 06, 09
Petal cap and shoes: G40, 82, 94, 99,
with some flicks of V000
Background: W00, 0, 1, 2, 3, V000
My embellishments were a lot of fun to make, but most of
Mitzi’s images really need to stand on their own. I kept my embellishments on
the light side. The large butterfly is Spellbinder’s Les Papillions. I also
have one on the inside. These butterflies are in two parts. The top die I cut
with the designer paper, and the bottom die I cut with SU’s Elegant Eggplant
cardstock. I then added Viva Décor’s 3-D Violet stamp paint to the bottom
layer. The other butterflies are Martha Stewart’s punches and I added the 3-D
violet stamp paint to them also.
The little vines are from Cheery Lynn’s Ivy Strip. I cut
them with SU’s Always Artichoke and added 3-D stamp paint in Moss green for
that little bit of sparkle. My ribbon is my ever growing stash from Really
Reasonable Ribbon.
