Whimsy Stamps Build a Fairy Garden (you know you want to)! ...

Happy Fri-Yay friends! 

I hope the week has been kind to you!

Today's card is made with a gorgeous new die set from

Whimsy Stamps

Build-a-Fairy Garden Die Set

I must apologise for another photo fail - the light is terrible all day here and trying to get a decent photo is proving difficult (and frustrating)! 

First I created an inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral and Barn Door over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then splattered the card with water and Mica Powder. 

When everything was dry I die cut the card with the 

Build-a-Fairy Garden Die Set

and then splattered white paint over it.  (I do this after diecutting as white paint leaves a slightly raised texture which I rather like and it gets crushed if you add it before die cutting!

I then repeated this with Distress Oxides in Ground Expresso and Pumice Stone.

I combined the inky pieces to create the toadstools and used the paler pieces for those oh too cute fairies!

I then blended Distress Oxide in Speckled Egg over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card to create the background and splashed water on it.

Next I created a 13cm x 13cm square of white card and used the the 8.5cm 

Pierced and Stitched Circles Die

to cut an aperture in the centre of it.

I stamped the make a wish sentiment from the 

Simple Sentiments Strips Clear Stamp Set 

onto the card front. 

I layered the white card onto the blue background with

Foam Tape

and assembled the rest of the card as shown, finally adding some glitter glue and some 

Hugs and Kisses Sparkletz 

as a bit of fairy sparkle!
