This card was born out of discarded images. I had some new watercolor paints that I wanted to try, so I used scraps of watercolor paper, stamped random images and colored them to test out the watercolors. After I was done, I thought they might look good enough to actually make it on a card. I was in need of baby cards (but to be honest, not really in the mood for baby carriage and rattle images) so I thought a little fairy could work and be different. For the design, I drew inspiration from the Mojo Monday Sketch #443 and the colors came from Stampin' Royalty #323. I was also inspired by the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, to use polka dots. Their showcased products are also Lawn Fawn, and it just so happens that I have a paper pad called Let's Bokeh in the Snow from them that was perfect for the project. The bokeh paper has this magical fairy dust look that works well with the theme of the card. I sprinkled little sequins where the stars are on the sketch, and I used the Glimmer Tape that was offered during Sale-A-Bration to create the banner.
