Paper Jewels meets Paper Sundaes!

Good morning and Happy Sunday! Or should I say Happy "Sundae" because there's a new challenge at Paper Sundaes today! Our sponsor this week is Paper Jewels! They carry some of the best stamps and supplies including Sweet Pea, CC Designs, Bildmalarna and Spesch stamps!

Today, I decided to play with my very first Sweet Pea stamp. She is beautiful and she is called the Poinsettia Fairy. She is usually shown colored with blonde hair, but I wanted a striking look, so I went with black hair. And I have to say, I like the look, but I was not a fan of coloring black hair. You must be very careful if you go back to shade in the skin that you don't come too close to the black hair or you will have a black or gray streak in the skin...trust me... but if you do, you can try paper piecing that part of the skin that needs the touch up...can you tell where I did that!?!

Crystal has provided us with this awesome sketch today. I love the great space it gives for the shape of the Sweet Pea image to take center stage...and just enough embellishment to highlight whatever image you choose to use. I used lots of Stickles on this one...it's very blingy, but she's a fairy, so she should be, right!?! Ok, everyone knows I love bling...and pearls! I think her silver top makes her look festive and fun and every fairy should have sparkly wings...in my opinion!

Go check out what the Paper Sundaes Design Team has to share with you today...you'll love it!
