SSPC #5  – Color challenge… use blue, tan and yellow with your pixie/sprite/fairy stamp!  I used Mimi and Friend from Penny Black,  colored with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.  Memory Box Honeyblossom die and AmyR Stamps Oh So Beachy Sentiment set.  October Afternoon pattern paper and a SU stamp to go around the edge of the image.  I think the name of the set is Tiny tags.  I went with kraft for the “tan” in the color scheme. Layers are all cut with the Perfect Layers Tools… even the card base. I scored and folded an 8.5 x 11 piece of kraft card-stock in half…then I held my ruler on the fold at 1/4 in.  and placed the image rectangle right up to it, stuck it down… then used the 1/4 in. Perfect Layers Tool to cut the sides and bottom at 1/4 in. for perfect spacing!  love these tools!

 fa la la la la!

I used Mimi from Penny Black and pattern paper from a Christmas pad by Little Yellow Bicycle.  The little white cardinal brad is from Making Memories,  the JOY border punch is from Martha Stewart,  the border around the blue rectangle is a Fiskars border/corner punch, the little buttons are from Lasting Impressions and the music notes are a punch from All Night Media.  I did some backstitching in the holes of the scallops of the rectangle with Coats and Clark’s button/carpet thread (JoAnns).

Mimi is stamped on Papertrey select white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Hair – E30, 23, 25, 27, Skin – E000, 00, 21 and diluted R20 for cheeks, Coat & earmuff band – R24,  59, E07, Ear muffs & mittens – YG91, 93, 95, 97,  Boots – W3, 5, 7.  Frosted Lace stickles here and there.  The falalala stamp is from Impress rubber stamps.
