Summer Fairy from Simply Betty

Simply Betty has been celebrating her 3rd Birthday this month and had a wonderful image called Summer Fairy available. The monthly Facebook challenge was to create a background using any technique you wanted, but without using any stamps of any sort.

This is what I created:

I used several processes so have taken a few photos to show you how I've made them.

First of all I made masks by cutting two designs from the Silhouette Online Store out of thin plastic:

A day in the Sun by Loni Stevens

3 Sunburst Patterns by Alaa' K

I placed the first mask on the blank tag. Using Repositional spray would have been perfect for this job but I used small pieces of rolled up magic tape.

I sprayed the top section of the tag with my Lemon Zest Dylusions Spray

Leaving the A Day in the Sun mask in place I then added the Sunburst mask over the top

and sprayed Pure Sunshine & Cherry Pie Dylusions to cover the tag

I removed both masks & lightly sprayed the tag with a yellow mice powder/ water spray to give it a nice shimmer.

This was the end result. Ignore the slight mistake - a lesson I've learnt is don't drop the tag on the wet mask you've laid to the side or it makes a bit of a mess :P

I coloured Summer Fairy using my Promarkers:

Skin: Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush with Pastel Pink Cheeks

Hair - Berry Red, Mandarin, Canary

Wings - Primrose, Lemon

Dress - Sky Blue, Arctic Blue, Blender

I hope you like my effort. I'd love to hear what you think x
