A Fairy for Turner Syndrome Awareness

 

Greetings, everyone! You may have seen on the blogs that February is Turner Syndrome Awareness Month. I purchased the cute little girl with fairy wings from Jan's Digi Stamps called TSF Fairy . Jan's donating all proceeds from the sale of this stamp to the Turner Syndrome Foundation. 

  

I also used this opportunity to play over at this month's The Rainbow Card Challenge where it is Mostly Mauve. Apparently, I have very few actual mauve paper collections. After a pretty thorough searching, I found Prima's Moon Child collection to be a good match. I study the challenge mood board very carefully every time I play and can usually find enough different shades shown in it, and that was the case this time. 

   

I cut the 5x7" card base out of some dusky greyish purple SU card I thankfully had, and I used it also for matting and the front bottom sentiment, hand-stamped and heat-embossed in white powder using a Stampendous stamp. I used Brilliance Pearlescent Purple ink and a tiny silhouette butterfly stamp on the purple card to create some subtle texture. The focal image with Jan's fairy and butterflies image, and the birthday sentiment were all computer-generated/printed on an SU mat that I'd ink-distressed with the Brilliance and edge-stamped more butterflies all around it. The Prima base mat paper also got an ink-distressing around the edge. 

I colored the fairy and words with Promarkers, colored pencils and Sakura gel pens. I used a purple one to outline her wings and a Star Dust pen to color them in glitter. The Birthday words also got colored and glittered. I took a clear Wink of Stella and brushed glitter over all the tiny butterflies she is blowing. I used a Martha Stewart butterfly punch and more SU card to make the solid butterflies I've added. I also used a Fiskars corner punch on the front layers to soften the look of the card.

  

I used Split Coast Stampers sketch SC399. I needed large open areas for my image and sentiment so this sketch fit the bill nicely. For those who do not know, I hope to work my through all 800+ Split Coast sketches at least once and since there is no deadline, the "challenge" is always open! Can't beat that! :-)

On the inside of the card I've matted it with Prima papers and stamped using Papertrey Ink, Lavinia and Stampendous sentiments. I'm also including a close-up to show the butterflies.  

The back of the card has more Prima paper (I lucked out this collection has a print with butterflies), a strip of washi and a siggie made with EKSuccess and Sweet Stamp Shop stamps cut out with a Lawn Fawn die.
