I love you Fairy Much (a Whiff of Joy card)

I am in love with Whiff of Joy stamps. I adore that you can mix and match different elements to make your own scenes with the stamps, like I did on the card below. The fairy, the mushroom and the grass scene are all separate stamps. With a little masking I was able to quickly and easily create this darling scene and even stamp the Hero Arts Cloud background stamp over the image using masking again so that it appears the clouds are behind her.

These images are so super fun to color with Copic Markers. 

I made sure to stamp the cloud background through the fairy's wings (see video below) because I wanted her wings to be transparent. I added color on top with Copic Sketch and Glitter Markers but you can still see a hint of the clouds through her wings.

Even the greeting is from Whiff of Joy. I carefully inked and stamped it in a narrow row to better fit my card design than how it originally comes in the set.

Love the card. I also love Whiff of Joy stamps. I never thought of stamping through the wings to make them seem transparent. Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing.

What a lovely card. I really like the way you did the wings. And that cloud stamp is on my wishlist (it's a long wishlist).
