IMG_0795

Hello friends. Welcome to Day 26 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. We are getting close to the finish line of this challenge and my hope is that you’ve enjoyed taking some time out to color. I know I sure have! Today’s card uses an ADORABLE & magical new stamp set from Lawn Fawn called, “Fairy Friends” . Have you seen the new Lawn Fawn release? It’s pretty crazy amazing and you can see the full release here or here.

Aren’t the images just precious!? I used  Copics to color in the images and my favorite Glitter Marker (It’s not the Wink of Stella….Gasp! I have to add that the sheen on the Spectrum Sparkle is more transparent which I love). I also did a bit of masking to create the scene but, you can check that out in the video. Click here to see the video larger or in HD.

Here’s the video to see the whole process… To extend the flower a misti really came in handy and some masking paper or tape.

I used another flower image from the stamp set to create a hat for the fairy to use on a future card.

I mentioned in the video that the only way to add these tiny details like eyelashes, veins on the wings etc. is with this super fine tip marker. I also said if you don’t have the right marker for tiny details don’t try it lol cause the wrong marker can ruin your coloring.

  4. Claire says

    These little fairies ar so cute! I love all the detail you included like the lines on their wings.

  5. Tess Hackett says

    Fabulous! I love this stamp set and wish I had it. I like how you masked the halo of light for the fairy, simply beautiful.

  7. barb macaskill says

    I saw this set the other day on Jennifer McGuire’s New Release post and fell in love with it! I am a sucker for anything to do with Fairies and LOVE this adorable set! TFS!

  9. Sabrina Radican says

    Oh my goodness… I didn’t realize just how stinkin’ cute this stamp set is until I saw your video!!! Your card is so super adorable and now I am going to have to add this stamp set to my wish list!!

  21. Joyce says

    Super cute flower hat. I bought the marker but haven’t tried adding lashes to anything yet. I love these LF fairies. Super cute!

  22. bev p says

    The in-links connection is telling me I already did it, but I didn’t see it and don’t think I did it twice. Oh well. (Just wondering if it’s me or did anyone else have a problem) Love the card. I really love how the yellows in the background pop the purples in the flower! Thanks for all you do. It’s been a fun month!

  23. Karen says

    The in-links won’t let me add my name without all fields being filled in and without a blog or website, I can’t fill in all the fields!!! So sad!!!

  31. BunnyD says

    How generous of Lawn Fawn! They have such adorable stamps. My .03 marker died recently and I’ve been searching for one to replace it! My hubby says there’s no way a marker is that fine it has to be 0.3. Love your gorgeous fine lines Kathy!

  32. BunnyD says

    Added my name to the in link frog button that appeared and no Bunny shows in the list either time. So I tried the other in link button that only works with a blog URL.

  35. Sharla~ says

    Kathy, your card is so cute! I love fairies and anything whimsical, what a fun stamp set and I love all the extra details!

  37. Becca Yahrling says

    Gorgeous card – love the sparkle on the pretty purple flowers. And those flowers are so cute as are the fairies. Can’t wait to see the card with the fairy in the hat – adorable! (I am also having a problem with adding my name to the link … will keep trying and hope it eventually works for me – I’ve never had a problem before today).

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Sorry for the trouble Becca…I had to change a setting but I just added your name to the list. 🙂

  42. Mari Nyx says

    Love the whimsy of this card. It is the little details that make all your work, gorgeous and a cut above. Thank you for sharing! ~M~

  43. conil says

    NO one, but, NO one can create a scene the way you do. That fairy floating away on the flower stem is so utterly charming. It slapped a big fat smile on my face. You’re right, this does remind my of Thumbelina.

  47. Linda Tupper says

    How adorable is this card! Love the flowers and the fairy. Thank you for the great video. Would so love to get this set, Just beautiful.

  48. Linda says

    Love you card again you amaze me with your creativity. Trying to add my name but won’t take it with out a url which I don’t have. Anyone know what I’m doing incorrect?

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      I added your name to the list Linda. Sorry for the trouble 🙁 It was a setting that needed to be changed…sorry

  51. Rosy Newlun says

    I love your added doodling with black marker and white pen – I love my white gel pen and sometimes use a Micro Pigma Marker in black ♥ And NOT Wink of Stella??? (#faints)

  52. Kate Dykstra says

    The extra white spots on your card add so much – and I LOVE the way you’ve done the wings. Thanks for the Spectrum Sparkle tip. SSS is out – but I’ve added my name to the notification list.

  54. Julie Brusman says

    The link is telling me I need to fill out all areas (I have no blog), then when I go to the second attempt it says the same thing.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Hi Julie, I added your name to the list… I had to fix something in the settings. Sorry for the trouble 🙁

  55. Teresa Doyle says

    This is amazing Kathy. BTW, I tried to add my name but because I don’t have a blog (URL) it wouldn’t allow me to????

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Hi Teresa, I added your name to the list… I had to fix something in the settings. Sorry for the trouble 🙁

  57. Bernice J says

    Wah! Tried to leave my name and it wouldnt accept it without a URL. Just kept telling me all fields had to be filled in!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Hi Bernice, I added your name to the list… I had to fix something in the settings. Sorry for the trouble 🙁

  61. Barb Ghig says

    Absolutely darling card, Kathy! Your details really make these fairies come to life…so cute! Love how you created the hat with the flower, too 🙂
    Thanks so much for another amazing video!

  63. KT Fit Kitty says

    This is adorable! The added moon really gives this card a lot of dimension! I enjoyed your video – would love to have Copics some day! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!

  73. Lucy Schmidt says

    I think the flowers are snowbells (at least they look like the snowbells in my yard), which are…white. But where’s the fun in white flowers on a white background even with a little sparkle? I like your version better. Adorable fairies. Thumbelina was one of my favorite Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales, too. Talk about flights of fancy!! Although I haven’t gotten to do much coloring during the challenge, I so look forward to your posts and will hate to see the series end. I suspect you’ll have a BIG finish. 😉

  76. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    I love how you did this and how cute this stamp set is. Reminds me of Tinkerbell from Disney. She’s also a fairy. I love the glitter markers and the added lines and dots. I can’t believe the Coloring Challenge is almost over, heck, I can’t believe Feb. is almost over! Wasn’t it just Christmas? Where does the time go is what I want to know? The days seem to go by faster now that I am an adult. When I was a kid in school they seemed to drag by.
    Thanks for showing us your pretty card!

  77. Milka says

    Hello Kathy :o) Cuteness overload!!! Love fairies!!! Your card is like a fairy tale. Love it! :o) Thank you for sharing another gorgeous creation, video, tips and giveaway. :o) hugs

  79. Pam Hammarlund says

    Amazing, as always! Love how you extended the flower. Very clever. I always learn from you.

  80. Susan R. says

    Definitely agree with the Thumbelina reference. The delicate detail with the 0.003 fine marker is a great idea. So is the alternate glitter marker. Wink of Stella oftens “poops” out glitter, so I’ll have to see the difference with the one you suggest. Thank you for the detailed video of your coloring process. I realize it takes a substantial amount of time to video, comment and post. It is appreciated.

  85. Sheri K says

    Beautiful card–love your little fairies and flowers–so pretty! Can’t believe the challenge is almost over!

  88. Roxy says

    Your imagination must be always on full throttle…this card is Adorable, stacking the flowers… The fairy in the air with a flower , the stars, the daisy for a hat….so cute and impressive…love it:)

  89. RKOKES says

    I adore Lawn Fawn, and these fairies are no exception-SO cute!! Love how you did the wings on these!

  90. Marianne says

    I do seem to be using the words cute and adorable an awful lot this month when referring to your work, Kathy, but I cannot help it, You have a knack for finding the most adorable stamps and combining them into super sweet scenes.

  100. Barb Chmura says

    I just love the fairies and the spotlight. It reminds me of Tinkerbell and the sparle of light that always surrounded her in Peter Pan.

  103. JoAnne Ferguson says

    I enjoy all your postings and tips. I love the fairy stamps. Someday I will have to try copics, they are so professional looking.

  107. TracyM #6773 says

    CUTENESS GALORE 🙂
    FABULOUS stamping, DELIGHTFUL colouring and GREAT tutorial too!!!

  108. JBrady says

    I’m an instagram follower and have wanted to participate in a daily marker challenge for awhile, but haven’t found the time as I was planning our wedding all last year, and needed a break from constant DIY fun afterward. I’m just seeing your blog now, thanks to Lawn Fawn, and am excited to participate in a future monthly challenge! Thanks for all of the inspiration and tips!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Thank you for exploring my blog. Congratulations on your marriage. Weddings can consume your free time. There will be another coloring challenge in the near future and other blog posts. Welcome JBrady. 🙂

  109. Lisa Tilson says

    Totally adorable card, I love this little set. You are so right, so magical and you have made me want to read Thumbelina again :). Thank you for the video Kathy xx
