PUFFY FLOWER FAIRY - A DAY FOR DAISIES


My showcase card for the A Day for Daisies blog today features the cute little image called Puffy Flower Fairy



I coloured her using Copic Markers, and then fussy cut before adding to a multifold card with a precoloured background. 

I also sewed on some little flower sequins and used a peel off sentiment.

TENDER THOUGHTS - A DAY FOR DAISIES


The darling image featured on my DT Showcase card today is called "Tender Thoughts" and is available in the A Day for Daisies store here.

Once printed, I used Copics to colour her,  and used a cream coloured cs mat, as well as a cream satin bow.

The sentiment is a well known children's prayer, and I thnk it is just perfect for the image.

The swirls are sewn on pearl beads (each one individually, with invisible thread)
