Summer Fairy

It was only about a month ago that I was in the Top 5 at Scrappin' 4 Fun. I'm honored that the Design Team asked me to be a guest designer for this color scheme challenge.

I had a lot of inspiration for this challenge.

To start, I had purchased the Flitting Fairies cut file from SVGcuts.com and had been really wanting to use one of the fairies. Right now, my favorite die cut isn't just one die cut - it's the company SVGcuts.com. It seems like they have the right die cut for any project.

I thought that this particular fairy would look fantastic as a silhouette in purple, rather than black. But I wanted the colors to be on the softer side of the palate to capture the light and airy feel of summer. The combinations  of purple and yellow is one of my favorites. In fact, when I eat Skittles candy, I like to combine the purple and yellow. It's just a thing. 

I used the dark purple to mat all of my layers. The yellow DP is from the Wisteria Pad by BasicGrey; it has small flower outlines on it. The DP mat is green with swirls of darker green and shades of purple. It is from the Kaitlin paper pad from Recollections.

To bring out the yellow a bit more, I added the flowers in the corners. In the center of the flowers, I used Carri~abusybee's skittles in the color Frog Legs.

Finally, I used my Memory Makers Tag Curler on the metal tag that says love. I just love this tool. I popped the tag up with two layers of foam adhesive for extra dimension.
