Thank you card 2

I stamped all flowers and leaves, then colored them by Sai watercolor brush pen. I cut them and arranged position under a sentiment. I felt too much white, but I didn't want add sponged color. I want to keep this card clean. So I decided cut other piece oval shape by navy blue cardstock. I layered two ovals together. Let blue one became a shadow.

Fairy Friends by Belle

Sunday Belle made this pop up card by herself. I was surprised her didn't ask any help. She told me she got this idea from watching Lawn Fawn's YouTube chanel. I am glad she learned how to make this complicate card.

Inside she made a pop up stand let her card have dimension. She sponged blue color for sky and added some white crystals fabric paint for snow. She died cut all fairy and house after she colored them.  She stuck them to where she wanted to. I loved the color she chose for all fairy and house.

Outside she made white simple cover at first. But she felt too plain. She wanted add more thing, So she add a orange red loop for card. You will need take off this loop and then can open card to see inside pop up.  Great idea!
