For my card today I used sweet Isabelle, one of the 5 new FAIRIES from the Moonlight Whispers Collection illustrated by Annie Rodrigue! I coloured Isabelle when I was at ScrapFest last weekend...just love her to bits and I was hoping she would co-ordinate with my new favorite paper Hello Luscious and she matched up perfectly!!! Sorry, if you are getting sick of seeing so much Hello Luscious paper but I just can't get enough it! I discovered some new chalk ink, to ink all the edges of my papers, which I love to do, it is called Powder Puff and I just LOOOVVEE it...I have been using Amaretto and Mocha Mama and can't wait to try the other colours. 

So, I cut the image of Isabelle out with my Nesties, embossed and left the image in the die and inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I also cut a small mat with my Fiskars Finger Grip craft knife by cutting around the outer edge of the Nestibilies Die. I added lots of Glamor Dust to Isabelle's wings, antenna and her feathered friend. I embellished with some crinkled seam binding and I added a BG Hello Luscious Glazed brad to the centre of the floppy bow. I then cut several flowers from Kraft and patterned paper with my My Favorite Things Die-namics Upsy Daisy set and added BG Hello Luscious painted brads to the centres. The sentiment comes with Isabelle and I used my Kelly Panacci stitching stamps to make it look like a stitched to the image panel.
