I've followed the sketch for the Truly Scrumptious current challenge- well, more or less. When I was attaching the cross band and Glimmer misted piece behind the image I had the card upside down. Whoops!The backing paper is from the Walk in Wonderland CD and the centre band is pearlised paper run through the Cuttlebug. There's also the requirement to have an altered flower on the card. the two middle layers were gray and the back layer a sort of bright magenta so I sprayed them with Glimmer mist to (hopefully) make them tie in with the rest of the card. Now to the image - it's one a quite a few images very kindly sent to me by Lyn,Blackdragon's Crafts. Her work is beautiful and I when commenting on one of her creations I mentioned that I love the Fairy Poppet stamps but didn't think I could do them justice - so hadn't bought any. She promptly sent me an envelope full of images to practise on before committing myself to a purchase and also included a lovely card with a beautifully painted image as a guide. My effort is nowhere near as good as Lyn's but with practise I hope to improve. I used Inktense pencils to colour it. Well, that was a saga. Good job it's a big card.
Thanks very much for visiting.

Wow Beryl, love the dramatic colours you chose, quite a change from the soft pastel sort of colours so many of these fairy cards are done it. Well done you for making a brave colour choice.
