Another wonderful day in Manhattan! I drove in and there was a lot more traffic on the way in that I thought there would be. I did look for a parking space but they are doing so much construction there are very few left to be had so I parked in the garage and walked the 24 blocks to see Diane and Jim. I love visiting with them, such amazing people! Jim had a new iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, I want one!! After my little visit I headed downtown to The Ink Pad and hung out with Barbara and Abby. We had burgers and fries from the Corner Bistro Bar for lunch and they were delicious! I got back to the garage around 4:00 and headed out over the RFK Bridge which was really backed up. I hate when that happens because the bridge shakes and you can feel it while you are sitting in the car! It almost bounces! Not a fan at all. When I got home my parents were out so I retrieved Winston and went back over for a sandwich for dinner when they got home. While I was puttering around an idea for a card popped into my head so I sat down and put it together before it disappeared! That’s today’s card!
The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used a Mini Ink Blending Tool and some Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue Ink to make the sky right on the card front. Across the bottom is a piece of Gumball Green that I cut out with the Lawn Fawn Meadow Borders Lawn Cuts. I cut out some tulips and a butterfly and colored them in with Copics. They are adhered with Foam Tape. The postcard, postage and cancelled stamp are from the Lawn Fawn You’ve Got Mail Photopolymer Stamp Set, I colored them in with Copics and then used the new Coordinating Lawn Cuts to cut them out. My fairies are from the Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set, they too are colored in with Copics and cut out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts. I adhered the fairies with E-Z Runner and the PostCard with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. A few Pretty Pink Posh Amethyst, Orchid, Pansy Purple, Pink Blush and Marigold Sequins are scattered about and I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to the fairies wings! I love the way the little scene came out and the greeting is just plain fun! I hope that you like my card for today! Thank you so much for continuing to stop by and visit me! I really appreciate it! Have a magical Sunday! 🙂

Nawwwwwww, Justin, this card is adorable!!! I love it! You are so clever, no matter what style, you always come up with amazing ideas 🙂 I know where to come when I need inspiration… XOXO
Thanks so much Kelly! I’m so happy that you do come here for inspiration!! Have an amazing day! 🙂
I simply love this card, Justin. How creative to incorporate a postcard into a card.
As soon as I saw your blog title, I knew you were using those adorable Lawn Fawn fairies. I just received the stamps and dies this week and cannot wait to create with them. I think my first project is going to be a couple of those little jar terrariums that were on their blog this week. I hope you have some more projects planned using these little guys, as I always look forward to your good ideas. Enjoy a sunny Sunday!
Thank you very much Roseanne! The set is so neat and different! I loved the jars that they made too! I will have to make some of the myself! I will definitely be using them in more projects! Hope that you have a super Sunday! 🙂
Fantastic card, Justin!! Love the postcard and little stamp that was added. The fairies are so beautifully colored and your inked sky looks fantastic! Enjoy your beautiful Sunday!!!
Thank you Christy! So happy that you like the card! It was so much fun to create! I need some more Copics! I hope that you too have a beautiful Sunday! 🙂
Good Morning Justin!
What a fun card today. I love that the two little adorable fairies are holding the corners of the post card. Using the Wink of Stella on the wings couldn’t be more perfect. The colors in today’s card are what I call “smiley” colors. You can’t help but smile when you look at them all together. Love it!
O.K. So I got up all energetic this morning and then read that you walked 24 blocks in Manhattan to get to your friends from the parking garage yesterday! Now I’m exhausted just reading that! No wonder you are so trim! I don’t know as there is anyone I want to see that bad…………maybe………..but not that I can think of right now. LOL
So glad to hear you had a fun day. I would think that anytime a person can get to spend a day in Manhattan it would be fun. So much to see, so much to do and such a beautiful and dynamic place just to “be”. You have yourself a Super Sunday. We will enjoy the day also – race is at Atlanta Motor Speedway today – wonder if Brian is going?
Hi there Grace!
Thanks! I love those little fairies and the postcard set I have had forever! It is nice and bright, definitely happy colors!
LOL! I love to walk in Manhattan! It’s the only exercise I get lately and I need all the exercise that I can get!
I always have fun in the city and the rest of my day was pretty good, yesterday was fun too! I hope that you enjoyed your weekend! I would say that it’s safe to assume that Brian will not be at the speedway! LOL! XOXO 🙂
Really cute, a diffeent stamp set which is why I bet it i so popular! Gorgeous weather here too. Daughter and I are heading out for an afternoon of scrapbooking. I hope I can be mini productive
Thank you Linda! Yes, it’s definitely different! It’s nice again here this morning! I hope that the weather stays! Hope you had a nice day with your daughter!! 🙂
