This is how she looks after being "inked" and die cut:
Boo-boo sharing time, and how I fixed it:
The difference a little ink makes:
I die cut the sentiment and used glitter on three of them:
Hopefully you can see the difference between the VersaFine Clair Rain Forest Green and the VersaFine Clair Green Oasis, here - one is bluer and slightly darker - they both have the same color EP on them, but the light catches it differently:
VersaFine Clair Rain Forest Green and the slight difference when the light hits the image just right:

A White background and a Green background - both inked the same way:
The sequins are actually the same pale pink as the ink:
Different sentiments:

You're so creative with your "boo boo" saves - no one would ever know! Beautiful creations as always! That fairy stamp is so pretty! Love how you made them all a little bit different too. Gorgeous job!
ReplyDeleteDonna these are so pretty I don't even know where to begin. I love your quick fix trick and would never had noticed if you didn't mention the missing scalloped edge. So pretty are the colors, popped stamps that look like your images are dancing in the moonlight. Gorgeous cards, hugs, Lori m

ReplyDeleteDonna, these are lovely. What a wonderful Fairy she is.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, Lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good week and you are looking forward to the weekend. Sue
The greens and pinks are a gorgeous combination and you've done a brilliant job with the festive design on these my friend! I really love the green background behind the sentiment die as it really make it stand out nicely! The glitter fairy is just delightful especially with your inking!! I hope to find some crafty time to play with these!! HUGS

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I love the die and the colors of the green. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful and so sweet. I love that color combo, but wouldn't have thought to combine these together. Great way to fix your boo-boo too. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous card and amazing tutorial!!! Donna, you amaze me!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful fairy cards. Wonderful colors and layers too. And, of course, the glitter is a perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteI can barely see the booboo on the scallops even when you point it out the fix is so perfect, Donna! Love the ink colors you chose and the fairy stamp is delightful. Wonderful shine and I love the layers.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful as always - thanks for sharing the tutorial!!!
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful! love those colors and the sparkle in the embossing, great idea you had for the fix, that has happened to me a couple times and I didn't know what to do.
ReplyDeleteDonna, these are so sweet! Your colors are delightful, and I'm quite smitten with this image! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteDonna, haven't you heard? There are NEVER any boo-boos when stamping. There are however, opportunities to add embellishments :-) This is one of my favourite sayings that has saved my projects more times than I care to admit :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set of cards. Rue looks beautiful in the embossed glory. Love the backgrounds too!
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Lena

It does look absolutely perfect, one would never know at all! Love your color choices! So pretty....and yes...oh so magical!
ReplyDeleteThese are the most beautiful cards, Donna! I love the shape, the colors, the image... everything about them! Your fix of the scallops is perfection! Never would notice it for a second. Beautiful blended backgrounds and I do see the difference in the two greens. Nice Christmas card progress!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love these!!!! Love the pink and green coloring. Looks like the fairy is an acrobat. Thought you used rick rack, was surprised that it was all about die cuts. Clever. You are the most clever person I know. Thank you for sharing the creativity and knowledge. Thank you for being so special that you show mistakes, it makes all of us feel better so we know to keep trying.
ReplyDeletegorgeous cards Donna - and what a great idea to show how you sorted those boo boos we all make! Hugs rachel x
ReplyDeleteWow, another carefully detailed project. You have the patience of Job to always be using the loose glitter! Wondering if you buy the clear ep with glitter in it or DIY? (my guess is DIY). This might be a way for me to use some of my glitter up - what is your ep to glitter ratio? 2/3 to 1/3? Inquiring demented minds want to know heeheehee. xoxo
ReplyDeleteTese are beautiful makes Donna, love the images and gorgeous colours.
ReplyDeleteHugs Pam x
That little touch of pink just adds the magic to your super card. CarolG
