Hi girls. Great to have you visiting my blog. I hope all is well with you today. Hopefully you will enjoy your visit here. In all fairness I must issue a long post warning. I've taken photos of this card from every angle so that you can see what it's all about.I was asked by my friend Sally, the Avon lady, to make a card for her daughter Anna's birthday.
.I decided to have a bash at a step card, better seen from this side view. I also tried to create a card that tells a story which goes as follows: A fairy decided to wash her best dress, wings and stockings and had to hang them out on her washing line to dry.
Meanwhile she had a bath in her bathroom with it's grand mirror so that she would be nice and clean for her fresh clothes.
Then she got dressed and went out to pursue her favourite pastime of smelling flowers.
The first two images are from Sheet 146 over at Whoopsie Daisy digi shop and the last one is Lili of the Valley's "Fairy on Tiptoes". They are all coloured using a mixture of Copics and Promarkers. The paper used to line the steps of the card is from a CD I have. I folded a sheet of Acetate in half ans draped it over the card by attaching it at the back and front. I used some of the paper to create a band along the fold at the top. The letters for the name along the front are cut from silver Mirra board using a cricut (Plantin Schoolbook cartridge). Everything else is from my stash.
I hope you like this card. It's my first attempt at this style. Sally liked it and is sure Anna will too but I would love to have your feedback if you can spare a minute to leave a comment for me. I do so love reading them.
Have a great day as you look forward to the weekend but above all stay safe and healthy. To all of you going to NEC spend wisely HaHa.
Love and Hugs,

Fiona this is delightful, love the story idea. The images and colours are perfect and I think a side step card is probably the best way to display this beautiful creation.
