I'm trying to make more birthday cards this year and these cute fairies went perfectly with the sentiment I had. One more done! For the layout I used the sketch challenge this week at Splitcoaststampers and for the colors I chose some designer paper and used the colors from it. I thought the clouds and sprinkles went well with the fairies.
I started by cutting the pieces in white and vanilla card stock, using ink and sponge daubers to color the pieces. I used the vanilla for the fairies skin and the under part of the mushroom cap.
I assembled and glued my pieces together on a silicone mat. This allows the assembled element to dry and prevents it from sticking to my paper or table.
I decided to make an A6 card - 4 1/2 x 6 inches. I cut one panel this size, a strip 1 1/2 x 6, a rectangle using the largest of the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle dies, and a white square using the third largest of the Stitched Squares dies.
I then heat embossed my sentiment in white on the scalloped panel.
I glued the white square on top and added my fairies and floral pieces. The fairies and mushroom caps are covered in several coats of Wink of Stella. I used gold Wink of Stella to add a few "drips" from the watering can.
I adhered the panel and the strip to the card base along with a piece of ribbon. Then I used foam tape to pop the panel up from the front of the card.
Since fairies are magical creatures that seem to beg for sparkle, I added a few sequins to the scene. In this photo you can really see the Wink of Stella.
I hope you enjoyed my card today. Don't forget to stop by the store and check out all the new dies!
