Fairy Wishes - Ching-Chou Kuit Field of Red Poppies

 The radiance in some places is so great as to be fairly dazzling...every crystal, every flower a window opening into heaven, a mirror reflecting the Creator.    John Muir

Ching-Chou Kuit digital stamp, Copic markers, Tattered Lace frame dies,
corner dies,red gems, white gel pen, origami paper for piecing, gold gem


Hey there,

Spring is in the air here in beautiful Southern Utah and  I couldn't be more excited to take some exhilarating walks through the exquisite landscapes around my new home.  The temperature is in the 70's today and is predicted to continue next week with the sky as blue as the dress on THIS lovely Ching-Chou Kuit fairy.  I might not see many fields of red poppies here in the desert, but I'm beginning to see lots of gorgeous greenery blooming against the red clay hills and lavender mountains. If you have ever visited Zion National Park, you know how utterly stunning it is here.  

I chose to accentuate the beautiful layers in this fairy's elegant dress with pleats and origami paper piecing.  Tattered Lace die frames surround my image and  swirly floral die cuts accentuate the corners.  I added some red gems to the corner dies and dotted the centers of my poppies with a white gel pen.  A gold gem garnishes the adornment on her dress.  I chose a generic "wish" die cut sentiment.

Thank you for visiting.
Go forth and enjoy all the dazzling delights of spring.
Nancy
