So I am sure that every knitter has at some point in their knitting career wished for a knitting fairy to come in overnight and finish up that second sock, or that last sleeve. I’ve never experienced the gifts of the knitting fairy, but I always hold out hope. Now we have documented proof that such a creature exists:
This is a digital stamp from Sugar Nellie. I love the idea of it, but I need to find another way to print out digital images. This one in particular didn’t have a white background. It is certainly very pale, but there’s a fine pattern of coloured ink dots throughout the image, which bled as I coloured. You can really see it in her skin, as that’s the palest. When I set my printer to ‘black ink only’ it didn’t print. That might be my problem with my printer, but it didn’t make this little fairy a joy to colour, let me tell you.
The background paper was in the 10/$1 section at my LSS – it’s completely flocked, so the whole thing is fuzzy. The weird thing is that I coloured this image, then went out to the store, but the colours match perfectly! Choosing the right adhesive for this paper was very important. I have started using one of those sticky dispensers that you just run along the paper like that whiteout I love so much. Glue stick (or at least the UHU I have) never seemed to bond quite right, and with one bend of the card, the whole piece of paper would ’snap’ off. Love the Tombo adhesive runner. It worked like normal to stick the flocked paper to the card. To stick the cardstock to the flock…. not so good. I ended up peeling it off (easily) and sticking it back down with regular old white glue. Not sure if this one will get sent, but it was a good exercise in things not always working out.
