silvia's card

Good morning lovelies - I do hope you're well and happy! I'm ready for a wet run this morning - I have to do it though as I know if I leave it until tonight it won't happen! The lady I go to aerobics with didn't turn up last night either so I had last night off!! My muscles will start to ache if I don;t go!

Today I've got a card I've made for my sister in law Silvia who lives in Germany. She loves fairies so I've gone for two Lavinia images - and I've used a green colour throughout.



I made the card using two green shades of pan pastel - a light one at the top - where I masked off a moon, and a darker one at the bottom. Then I stamped the top writing and covered it up with a post it. I added an Imagination crafts mask to the bottom of the card and used a cosmic shimmer mica spray in green, dried it, then moved the mask and used peeled paint DI to go over the image again.  Finally I added the Lavinia fairies at the bottom and the butterfly that I'd stamped onto bookprint on studio 45 fusible film that I cut out and heated to give it shape before colouring green and adding the bling.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
