The theme this week is to use "SPARKLE" along with your butterfly or fairy and yet again Danni has candy up for this challenge.
I have used the sketch from Crafty Cardmakers and will definitely use this one again.
Sorry for bad photo but this is the best I can achieve, backing papers are metallic and really luxurious but boy were they difficult to adhere.
I used my Copics for the skin tones, hair and shoes and then not actually paper piecing but acetate piecing - glittered from behind and a bit glamour dust added to her hair ribbon. Popped her up with 3d pads onto this gorgeous handmade paper which IRL looks like snow and backed this with glitter card. My flowers are by Petaloo and these are a very small part of the candy I won on Crafty Cardmakers Blog, added a few punched holly leaves to these gorgeous glittery flowers and the sentiment is from a stamp I borrowed from my friend Angie last year, now I am pleased I stamped plenty of these up when I had the chance.
I have taken this with the flash on but as you can see it reflects against the acetate but also allows you to see how sparkly this card is.
