Sky's Sweet Music {Lavinia World Challenges #30}

A new Lavinia World Challenges begins today.  The theme is Anything Goes using a stamped image.

For my project, I created this sweet scene using the following products, all of which can be found at Lavinia World:

Sky

Fairy Lantern

Fairy Hugs Glitter Powder (Golden Nugget, Iris)

We Are 3 Digital Paper (Watercolor Batik)

I began this slimline card by stamping the Fairy Lantern stamp three times using various colors of ink cubes. Then I began to add color to the (originally) white cardstock using Pan Pastels. I created a few hills using a torn piece of paper and then continued the rest of the background using purples and blues.  

I added a bit of bling to the lanterns using Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers and gems from Queen and Co.

I wanted to show the inside of Sky's wings as well as the outside.  In order to achieve this look, I stamped her twice onto a scrap of white cardstock and fussy cut her out.  On the second one, I only fussy cut out the wings, as that's all I needed.  

Next I added glue and Golden Nugget Fairy Hugs Glitter Powder to the "inside" portion of her wings and Iris Fairy Hugs Glitter Powder to other set of wings that I fussy cut out.  (I 💖LOVE💖 this new glitter!) I let both sets of wings dry completely before going to the next step.

While the glue was drying, I decided I didn't like the stark contrast of the white edges that were left from the very fine details of the image.  So I added a bit of grey Pan Pastel so that Sky would blend in better with the evening scene I was trying to create.

Once the glue was dry on the wings, I added a pop dot at the base of the "outside" wing and adhered it over (and slightly offset) from the main image. Now you can see her two-toned wings 😀.

I also wanted her to have a bit of dimension.  When adhering her to the background, I added a small pop dot to the back of her head and to the back of the bird. I think this small detail really makes it look as if she's sitting among the Fairy lanterns and not just posed in front of them.

The focal piece was adhered to the newly added digital papers that Lavinia World is now carrying from We Are 3.  I used one of the Watercolor Batik papers because it coordinated with my purples perfectly. I love the fact that you can re-size the papers to whatever size you wish and the designs and colors are amazing.  

The final step was to adhere this to the purple card base. I decided it needed a little something more, so I added dimensional foam tape to the back of focal area as well.  That final step gave the card the look I was going for.  I hope you like it too.
