August Fairy

Recently Lili of the Valley released a set of Calendar fairies, obviously there are 12 of them.  This is the fairy representing August.  I love how it doesn't really matter where you live, you could easily make a calendar to suit your seasons by changing the fairies around.   The month/season sentiments are a separate stamp set.  That said the sentiment I have used on this card is from the Fairy Sentiments set. I also like how you can use the fairies individually.  For us in the Southern hemisphere August could so easily be used as a christmas fairy, as going to the beach is what we do at christmas time,  given it's our summer holidays.

I had fun with this little cutie.  I have used glossy accents and glitter on her.  The papers are from Up Up and Away, Country Meadow and Sunnyside Up.   I know I have said it before, but I do love how the paper collections from LOTV are so interchangeable and work together so well.  My new favourite embellishment, Pretty Pink Posh Sequins, add that finishing touch.


I have popped this into the colour challenge at Artfull Crafts

See you back again soon!!!

Karen, this is a gorgeous card. I love your colouring of lovely August fairy and her shimmery wings are adorable. Your card design is wonderful too with those super die cuts and papers.
