This is the card. I inked the card with forest green, sage, and brushed corduroy DI. Then I fussy cut a garden fairy from a Prima paper stack. The saying comes from the same stack and I cut it apart and inked it with vintage photo DI. I cut some flowers with the Tattered Florals die and added them with some sparkle centers. Some little stick on flowers and a rub on bee completes the card.
The background you see in the photo is the folder. Here is a picture of the inside with the card in the pocket.
I used paper from Graphic45's Secret Garden collection for the folder. I cut it so that I was able to score the center and fold up the pocket. I added some leaf trim to the top and a die cut medallion with a butterfly in the middle. Some fussy cut butterflies are attached on each side panel.
The outside of the folder has a label I die cut. It is also from the Prima stack and it says Fairy Whispers. I put eyelets in the middle and a ribbon to close it.
I had so much fun participating in this swap. I'll share my second ICAD when I know it has arrived in its new home!
Thank you so much for visiting today. I welcome all of you with great pleasure. I hope you have a wonderful day.
This gorgeous card and holder arrived for me from Maryanne today and I was totally thrilled to receive it. Thank you so much, its absolutely delightful. Hugs, Margie xx
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I can imagine her delight upon opening this Beauty! Unlike Hallmark, these are the things that I "collect" and keep amongst my treasured belongings. To me, it is just as beautiful as a piece of handmade jewelry...as it is created from the heart!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne - absolutely beautiful! I will be mailing you my ICAD tomorrow! I just finished them up tonight!
ReplyDeleteYour ICAD and holder are certainly beautiful, it has been a wonderful swap too - well done to Astrid for organising it! Anne x

Super cute with a lovely vintage appeal. And that crinkle ribbon looks awfully familiar :) Looks like a fun swap!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne, this is so beautiful. I really like the flow of the poem and the fairy who is taking her time and soaking in all that beauty that surrounds her. The folder is wonderful~the leaves are such a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful - the ICAD is stunning! I love the folder too - those papers are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI felt the pressure a bit with the ICAD challenge and gave up after a while - I wasn't disciplined enough to make one a day and then had to make a bunch of 7 all in one go to catch up - all a bit stressful!! I like the idea of a swap though, and I can't wait to see the second one you made.
Wow this looks totally fantastic Maryanne, the background looks stunning and the little fairy just fits there to perfection! The holder looks beautiful too, just gorgeous! Can't wait to see the next one and thanks so much for playing in this swap!
ReplyDeleteOh my! So fun! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW Maryanne! I love everything about your beautiful, stunning, creative, and awesome card - inside and out!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I agree with Sharon! This is so beautiful - and so thoughtful. I love the idea of the swap and your pieces are just lovely, xoxo
ReplyDeleteMaryanne, your card and holder is amazing! I can see the care and attention you gave to the swap with the details you included - carrying out the theme throughout. I especially like the pink ribbon as a finishing touch!
