Welcome back watercolor fans to another Art Impressions watercolor weekend!  This week I decided to create this cute little Mushroom Fairy but combining my Butterfly stamp set with the Elves stamp set.  I love when I can stretch my stamps.  What can you make by combining your stamps?

Project Details

I started off by inking up the sleeping elf from the Elves stamp set in 969.  I stamped it off and then stamped it on the right side of the watercolor paper.  Next, I inked up the closed butterfly from the Butterfly stamp set and stamped it onto my stamp positioner.  I rubbed off the body of the butterfly. I lined it up on top of the sleeping elf  and stamped it to make the elf into a fairy.  I pulled the color out of the lines.

From my watercolor palette, I added color to the elf and to the wings using Pink, Blue and Yellow.  I made sure a hit of the top of the elf showed through the wings.   Next, I inked up the mushroom from the Elves set with 969.  I, again, used my stamp positioner to place the mushroom next to the fairy.

I added the window and door from the Hobbit Door set using my positioner.  I pulled the color out of the lines and added some additional 606 to the mushroom.  I added some additional 969 to darken areas on the mushroom.  I added some grasses (from the original foliage set and foliage set 3) inked up with 177.  I pulled the color up and out of the lines.  Lastly, I added some 565 to my palette and painted a sky behind the mushroom.

I signed and dated my project.

Card Details

I cut my Mushroom Fairy out with a rectangle stitched die.  I glued it to a Gina K Designs Edible Eggplant card stock mat.  I glued that to a Neenah Solar White card panel.

Thank you so much for spending some time with me today.  I hope you will look at your new light.  Try something different, you will be glad you did!  Check out my fellow team members inspiration over on the AI Blog.

    So cute!
    I enjoy seeing how you combine images to make new scenes, helps me look at my stamps with a fresh eye.
    I can’t decide whether the fairy got up too early & is taking a nap after getting the kids off to school or whether he stayed out too late with the imps & elves & didn’t quite make it home!
    ( maybe that says too much about my life right now!)

    I love your purple mushroom and so clever to use the butterfly to make wings! Love this card!

    You’re amazing! I love the elf/fairy idea – and didn’t realize you’d used a butterfly until I ready your description – brilliant!!
