It's an inspiration photo challenge this week at Fairy Fun Fridays and I used this charming Watering Can image from The Prairie Fairy. Yes, I did take a bit of artistic license in coloring the poppies blue with my Copics, but I was going for the blues in the inspiration photo. I used some of my precious (hoarded) Blue Bayou retired SU! card stock. Other products used include a newsprint stamp designed by Ann Vento for Whimsey Stamps, old MME designer paper, a bit of SU! lace and burlap ribbon that will be available shortly in my Etsy shop. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the main panel, added some a filigree metal butterfly and dragonfly (filigree metal will soon be back in my Etsy shop), a Venise Lace butterfly, Venise flower bud applique, crinkled seam binding and burlap thread, all from my Etsy Shop.
Hope you will stop by the Fairy Fun Fridays challenge blog to get some plearly blue inspiration from the other team members. Some of the DT are on vacation, but we managed to round up a few samples to get your mojo running. And stop by the Prairie Fairy Designs store - Roberta has a new line of whimsical glamor girls - See Leah, Betty and Dottie.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you had a great week. I'm still in Key West and will be back to the real work-a-day world on Monday.

Just beautiful! I love the blue poppies! I love your bow and the little twist thing you did for the center of the bow. I'm always looking for fun little elements like this to do and I've found so much inspiration from your projects! Your little charms are very "charming". tee-hee. Hope you continue having a good time before you have to get back to the real world. ;)
