A Very Fairy Door - The Sequel - Kickstarter project

Well here we go - the lesser spotted Lucy colouring again. A rare occurrence these days I know, but mojo is still missing after all this time. I know it will come back - I'm hoping soon. Despite mojo being low on the ground I couldn't resist asking if I could be part of the next step in the 'A Very Fairy Door' story. 

I don't know if you remember but a few years ago the lovely Carlie Brown & Kimberly Brown wrote a beautiful story about the fairies who visit through a fairy door in houses. The wonderful Krista Smith of Saturated Canary illustrations made the story come to life. The book was dreamt up to appeal to children at home and also help poorly children in the Children's Hospital of East Ontario. It was a beautiful book with a lovely story & a real fairy door to go in the child's room. The Kickstarter campaign was successful and many children around the world discovered the magic of the book.

Now Carlie, Kimberly are back with a new story - A Very Fairy Adventure! It's a beautiful 40 page children's book with new characters including the Fairy Baby Maeve illustrated by Krista.  It's being created through fundraising on Kickstarter. You can pledge support at various different levels & receive different levels of rewards. For crafters there's the chance to own four new Krista Smith digi stamps, for parents & grandparents (and just the young at heart) there's the chance to own the new book and even get the original book complete with Fairy Door if you weren't lucky enough to get one first time round. You can find all the information here: A Very Fairy Adventure Kickstarter.

I'm lucky enough to be able to play with the exclusive new Krista Smith A Very Fairy Adventure digi stamps before they're released (who am I kidding - I begged to be allowed to). This first one I played with is the boy fairy who features in the new A Very Fairy Adventure. I coloured him with my copics & had such fun. These characters really are a dream to colour. 

Here's his close up. What a character eh! I can't wait to see what adventures he gets up to in A Very Fairy Adventure!

The sentiment is the Believe Layered Sentiment Chipboard word from Make it Crafty (I do love these chippies - so great to use). I added Wink of Stella to give it some shimmer over the copic colour.

It's so tricky to capture sparkle in photos. I added Wink of Stella to his wings - cos what fairy doesn't have sparkly wings? 

Digi - Exclusive Digi Stamp available through a pledge on the A Very Fairy Adventure Kickstarter.

Final chance for A Very Fairy Door!

Last Call!! Last Call!!! 

There are literally a couple of days left to get involved with the A Very Fairy Door Kickstarter Campaign. This is a campaign that is very close to my heart as I have a niece and honorary niece who love fairies and would LOVE to have a copy of this book & fairy door. 

So come on everyone - one last big push. Whether you can pledge $1 Canadian Dollar or much more get it pledged so we can reach the target. If the target isn't reached by the end date no money is collected & it may be a very long time before the book makes it into production.

Here's my final project made using an A Very Fairy Door Fairy illustrated by Krista of Saturated Canary. It's also my last project for my Guest Design Team term at Saturated Canary. To say it's been a dream come true is an understatement and a half. I've had an absolutely amazing time & have loved every minute. Thanks so much Krista for having me as part of the team for these few months.  

My featured Fairy this time is the White Fairy. I made her into a bookmark so she can smile at me every time I read my book.

Here's her close up. 

I coloured her using my Copics

Skin- E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - E51, E53, E55, E57

Dress & Wings - C1, C2, C3, C5, E51, R81, Stickles Stardust

I really do love books and would love the see A Very Fairy Door reach it's target & get to print. 

Come on everyone - we can do it!

Night Fairy from A Very Fairy Door

Time for another gorgeous fairy from A Very Fairy Door. 

I am totally and utterly addicted to these fairies that Krista Smith has drawn for the A Very Fairy Door book & consider myself so lucky to have a chance to colour them now as part of the Saturated Canary Guest DT.

A Very Fairy Door is a very special book that's been created by Carlie & Kimberly Brown and illustrated by Krista Smith. It's a beautiful piece of work - a hardcover children's book with an actual fairy door to go with it. It's a beautiful story about how the different fairies come to visit and leave little present. I love how it can be used as a reward for good behaviour as well as being a lovely story all on it's own. Pop over to the A Very Fairy Door page to find out more about it. There's a lovely video showing snippets of the book. 

The book is being funded by a Kickstarter Campaign - this works by people pledging money towards getting the book published. It's an all or nothing  thing - if the target is reached the pledged moneys will be collected & the book will be published, if the target isn't reached no moneys will be processed. 

Pledging money means you're not only helping the book be published, but you could also have a lovely reward yourself. There are different pledge levels available - each with different rewards. Take a look on the Kickstarter Campaign - there's a level that will suit everyone. 

Anyway - enough talk (can you tell I'm passionate about helping get this book created) - here's what I've created with Night Fairy - one of the fairies from the book. 

I made this using a photo bauble I bought after Christmas last year. You can buy them from lots of different places in the lead up to Christmas. I love how easy they are to use, but how effective they are. 

This little beauty is Night Fairy. She's part of the digi stamp collection you can get by pledging certain amounts towards the A Very Fairy Door Kickstarter Campaign.

I printed Night Fairy & cut her out, then coloured her in. 

I added her to the photo bauble & added a spoonful of white Flowersoft as snow.

So simple, but so effective!

I coloured her with my Copics

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - E51, E35, E55

Dress - V01, Promarker Orchid & Purple

Wings - B21, B23, Blender, Stickles Stardust

Star - Y11, Y15

Please please please pop over to the A Very Fairy Door Kickstarter Campaign. There's only 11 days left - if the target isn't reached by the 3rd October it won't happen.

A Very Fairy Door - Red Fairy

There's a super exciting new project starting at the moment 

An amazing children's book called

It's been written by Carlie and Kimberly Brown and the illustrations are by the wonderful Krista Smith of Saturated Canary. It's a gorgeous story and is interactive to get children involved. Head on over to the A Very Fairy Door Kickstarter Page to watch the video and find out more about this amazing project

It's an exciting time as the book is being launched through a Kickstarter Campaign.

People have an opportunity to pledge different amounts of money (starting at only $5 Canadian) and be part of making this wonderful project come to life. 

There are different rewards at different pledge amounts ranging from a set of 6x4 prints of the Fairies when you donate $15, a set of the digi stamps created by Krista ($25) or a copy of the book that comes with a Fairy Door ($40). There are lots of other pledge/ reward levels too. It's a perfect thing - you get something lovely and you're contributing to get these beautiful books published.

Now I'm a very lucky girl - the digi stamps are ONLY available as part of the pledge reward programme ($25 pledge or more) - but as part of the Saturated Canary Guest DT I've been lucky enough to have them to play with. 

I coloured the Green Fairy the other day - today it's the turn of the Red Fairy. 

I just love this little one - she looks so cheeky!

Here's a close up.

I coloured her with my Copics

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, E49

Dress - R24, R27, R29, R59, Wink Of Stella

Wings - R20, R22, Stickles Stardust Glitter Glue

Catching the light you can see just how sparkly she is. Fairies have got to be sparkly eh!

The sentiment is a freebie from Gingers House. 

It made me smile & seemed perfect for this little fairy.

The border is from the Silhouette Store.

Am I allowed to admit I'm totally in love with the Red Fairy's legs! Aren't they the cutist!!

I hope you like what I did with Red Fairy.

Don't forget you can own these images yourself by pledging $25 Canadian or more on the A Very Fairy Door Kickstarter page. In fact that's the ONLY way to own them - they won't ever be appearing in the Saturated Canary store. 

The A Very Fairy Door Kickstarter  campaign is also time limited - the campaign runs until the 4th October. At that point if the target has been reached the pledge payments will be taken and the rewards issued. If the target isn't reached no money will be taken & the books won't be published :( It's sort of an all or nothing process so the more people who join in the better. 

Hop on over and have a look.

I couldn't wait to get colouring as they're gorgeous!!!!.

I was inspired by the Fairy Door theme and made a door hanger with The Green Fairy.

How gorgeous is this little Fairy!!!!

Here are a few close ups.

I went with a simple colour scheme using my Copics

Skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - E21, R23, E25, E27, E29, E49

Clothes & Wings - YG61, YG63, YG67, G29, Blender

I added Stickles Stardust Glitter Glue to the wings - after all what's a Fairy without some sparkle!

I typed the sentiment and added a touch of Stickles Crystal glitter glue to add some Fairy Sparkle. 

I can't wait to get colouring the other Fairy Door Fairies!
