Today I have used the Briar Berry Spry Fairy digital stamp from Digi Doodle Studios, our generous sponsor this month, to make a birthday card filled with magic.

This large A5 card started in Silhouette Studio, where I sized the image to 3 1/2" to fit inside a 4 3/8" nesting oval die.  I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers then die cut.  I die cut a contrasting 4 3/4" scalloped stitched oval panel and adhered it to the back of the image panel.  I matted an A5 top folding card base with cardstock then added a panel of patterned paper.  Next I pulled out my iron, YES, my IRON, I know!  Do you remember what they are?  I ironed a strip of crochet lace as it was a bit bent on the spool.  I cut another contrasting panel of cardstock and adhered the lace to the top, then adhered the panel to the bottom of the card.  Next I adhered the matted image panel in place with a combination of foam squares and liquid adhesive.  I used a combination of squeeze and lever punches to punch bundles of flowers from coordinating cardstock, curling and layering them together, finishing each one off with a sparkling yellow rhinestone.  This is where I should mention that I have run out of yellow bling, luckily I still have some sparkling clear ones, so I coloured them with my Y38 Copic marker.  I used a combination of foam circles and liquid adhesive to adhere the flowers around the image panel.

   

It's an unusual colour combo to me but I am thrilled with how pretty they look together and I hope they make you feel happy too.

Lots of colours, textures, dimension and sparkle to add
some magic and make for an extra special birthday.
