Beautiful Fairy Birthday Card (A Day for Daisies image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

 Happy Australia Day! 

 How sweet is this image from A Day for Daisies, I have been meaning to create with her for a long time as I printed her up ages ago but used it as my first attempt at watercolours and lets just say it didn't go well hehe. So I tried again with my trusted copics and now I think she looks very sweet in these colours. 

 Here's a little tutorial on how I covered the 2 wooden hearts with the background papers - if you haven't tried this it is very easy - glue the paper to the wood item and once the glue has dried completely, sandpaper (I used a nail file so I could get into the top of the hearts easily) all the way around and it looks like it was made this way.

    Sweet card, Lucy! Happy Australia Day to you! I heard about the holiday on the radio this morning and thought of you! Please tell me - what do you use for watercolouring? I love the look - I was considering a new set but I will probably stick with my Tombow watercolour markers because the Japanese set I was looking at was so expensive. Would love to know what you use. Thank you for the tutorial on the paper-covered hearts - it looks awesome! I love it when you share little tips like this!

    Lucy, I do not comment very often; because if I did you were here from me after EVERY single email I receive from you because I have been a very faithful follower; but I am trying to be better at communication in 2015. I wanted to tell you how much I love your work and am blown away by HOW MANY cards you craft and share all the time! Many of them digi stamps to boot! You must have one of the fattest DIGI stamp file folders ever. I always find myself looking to your blog or emails for inspiration. ONE DAY I will craft and I will share! Keep up the great work and know that you have a fan (silent) but a huge fan out here non the less!!!
