Fairy Fun
I had a request for some little girls’ birthday cards and being ill equipped in that genre I borrrowed this set from a friend. Remember Fairy Nice? She’s so cute! I probably could have come up with something little girl-ish from my collection but the little girls these cards are for are only one and two years old. Children that age love pictures of other little people so I’m hoping these will appeal. Maybe they’ll at least appeal to the Moms. I don’t think my son paid much attention to his birthday cards when he was that age. He was more interested in the cake.
I colored two identical images simultaneously just to speed things along. Let me say right off the bat that those unfortunate looking blobs around her are glitter. You can see a little bit of the sparkle but glitter is simply not very photogenic. It’s much prettier in real life. I stamped the fairies in Timber Brown Stazon on Shimmery White and painted them with Twinkling H2O’s. They’re sparkly, shimmery and shiny all over. The pink card uses Loves Me paper and Pixie Pink with Gable Green. The ribbon is from the Flirty collection with a little Offray satin floral on top. The Gable Green is stamped with the retired Bitty Blossoms background in Craft White.
There’s not much difference between the two cards other than the colors. The second card uses Amethyst paper from the Palette O’ Prints pad with Lovely Lilac for the card base. I wheeled the Gable Green with Whimsey in Craft White.
So this is what I stamped today. It’s nothing new and exciting but in real life if I’m going to make cards for practical use they can’t all be vintage florals and Priceless and Garden Whimsey. Once in a while the old stuff has to come out. I did have a little more fun with these than I did with the football cards in my last post.
I hope this finds you well and having a wonderful weekend! If all goes well and the garden’s willing I’ll get to do a little more stamping tomorrow. See you soon!

These are both just adorable — love them!!! I, too, am poorly equipped for children’s cards — did just get a little truck set I’m anxious to try out — these will be loved by the little girs and mom’s, too, I am sure!!!
These are too cute! I am sure any little girl would love one of these cards.
Leslie, I LOVE this set, but have not used it much. I really LOVE the design on both cards, thanks for the inspiration. Jennifer
Your little girls’ cards are so pretty! I love all the sparkle, and can only imagine how gorgeous these are in person.
My little girl has loved cards since her first birthday, so you may be surprised at how different those little ladies may be.
These are so adorable. Love all the glitter and the colors.
