Hello Friend for Elizabeth Mae

I want to share with you another card today. It turned out much better than I ever expected. Anyone have this when creating? I was really unsure about the colors because not my fave but I was determined to try them and I managed to create a really lovely card. I might add this to my top ten cards.

It's a new Elizabeth Mae design. I recently rediscovered my Coordinations cardstock. I was avoiding the whitewash stack because not sure about using. Silly me. I guess sometimes you have to sit on things to think it through and I will say this was in my collection for a bit. I almost gave it away but then something made me stop. I colored the fairy in with my Copics and cut her out. She is popped up on with foam dimensions on a mat of gold corrugated cardstock and a glitter punched border. I stamped the sentiment with my SP & Co Bold Sentiment Set I on SU's sage shadow using chocolate chip ink. I hand stitched the top and bottom of the corrogated piece with sage shadow thread. I stamped on a few flourishes on the whitewash cardstock using an Autumn Leaves stamp and SU's sage shadow ink. Lots of that color! The tiny postcard strip if from Making Memories. I couldn't throw a bit of that paper away. Glad I kept it. The soft colors went perfectly with this. Finally I added a few buttons.
