Sweet November Preview Day 1 - Fairwees Jilly and Piper

Welcome to the first of three days of Sweet November stamp previews for August. I couldn't be more excited about the Fairwee collection. I love anything mythical and whimsical and these certainly fit the bill. Now if you were at Summer CHA you may have already seen these. But if like me you weren't (picture sad face here) you are in for a real treat. For the next three days we will be previewing 6 Fairwees plus some extra surprises. Today's projects feature "Jilly" and "Piper." Now how can you go wrong with names like these?

First up is Jilly. I saw a "tiny dancer" vibe to her so I colored her up with the colors that I think of for my beautiful niece Anna who is a ballerina extraordinaire. To reflect Anna's Chinese heritage I gave sweet Jilly some jet black hair and Asian skin. After coloring with Copic markers, I cut her out and placed her among some oldie but goodie embellishments from Making Memories. The patterned paper is Echo Park Be Mine.

Next up is Piper. If I had to pick a favorite in the Fairwee group I would definitely have Piper at the top of the list. She looks as though she fully knows the keys to a happy life. Wouldn't it be nice if we felt that way all the time? I colored her with Copics and then cut out with a Spellbinders Nestie inking around the edges while it was still in the die. I then matted again with two other Nestabilities. The paper is all My Mind's Eye Lime Twist.
