I chose to work with this adorable Little Flower Fairy image for my card:


Isn't she sweet?  For my card, I decided to make another circular easel.  I used my Silhouette Designer Studio program to design all the pieces I would need.  For the patterned paper circle, I knew I wanted to use a paper from my newly acquired Flower Market 6x6 paper pad from Lawn Fawn, so I had to conduct a search through my craft room for a coordinating cardstock.  I found this pretty textured purple in a Craft Smith 12x12 pad from Michael's that matched PERFECTLY with the purple flowered paper.  YAY! πŸ™Œ 
Once all of that was figured out, I set out to color my image.  I grabbed Copic markers in the V family for my purple:  V01, V12, V15, AND a little bit of V17 for the darkest areas.  These are also a PERFECT match!  WOOT, WOOT!  Her skin was colored with my favorite skin tone combo, E50, E51, AND E53.  The greens I used to color the leaves were G82, YG61, and YG67.  Her wings were colored with B000 AND B00.  And now to my favorite part...her hair!  I did a search of Copic hair color combos, and came across one that called for YR23, YR24, AND E99. I had the first 2 colors listed, but not the third.  Thank goodness for Sandy Allnock's Copic Hex chart!  I saw that E37 is right next to E99, and I do have that marker, so I tested it out on a scrap piece.  It looked great to me, so I proceeded on a wing and a prayer.  Coloring hair is not one of my strong points, so I was worried that I would make a mess of it, especially after all the other coloring I had done!  I know I don't have some of the shading right, but I think it turned out great anyway!
To add some finishing touches to the image, I used a white gel pen, a clear sparkle gel pen, and a black glaze pen for her eyes. WHEW! Hey, does anyone else remember that purple dress that Marie Osmond wore one time on the Donny and Marie show?  When they made them into dolls back in the 70's, that was the outfit she had on.  The way I colored this little fairy's dress reminds me of that dress!  Before I completely forget, the sentiment was made using Oliver's Stitched ABC's from Lawn Fawn...I die cut each letter 4 times from scrap white cardstock, and once in the same purple textured cardstock.  Clear Wink of Stella was added to the letters and to the fairy wings, because all fairy wings should sparkle, right?
