a note from your neighborhood tooth fairy

Every month, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has a special Project of the Month which consists of a set of stamps that you can purchase at a 25% discount price.  This month Candi Tooth Fairy is visiting us as part of the special.  All the stamps used on my card are part of the January Project of the Month.  You can see the special here.


I used the floss, tooth, and toothbrush stamps to create my patterned paper and colored in part of the images using copic markers.  I added a plum pudding mat and stitched the two together.  Then, I wrapped two plum pudding swiss dots ribbons and some lavender moon twill around the patterned paper before adding it to my card.
 

I stamped Candi Tooth Fairy on white cardstock and cut her out using a label one nestability die. I colored her with copic markers and added a little shimmer to the star, wand, and her wings using angel wings shimmerz.  I added a plum pudding mat and some photo turns before adding my image using foam adhesive.
 

I stamped the sentiment on lavender moon cardstock, added a plum pudding mat, and put it on the inside of the card.  I left lots of room for a personal message.  You can see more examples of creations made with this month's POTM on the High Hopes blog.

Have a great day!

Niki

So cute! I love the background paper you made. I always try and it usually ends up looking too busy or smudgy (is that a word?) I will attempt again! TFS :)

Hi Niki!
Funny I was thinking of you today and then I saw your card and I remembered why you were on my mind. I am looking to add some purples to my copics. Do you remember which purples you used here? I am looking to get some to come close to the PTI I guess.
