Hi there!
I took advantage of the ALLSORTS birthday discount (last month), and treated myself to a couple of AALL & Create dies. This one is Roadway Vistas Set #78.
Here's the first thing I made with it . . . but no doubt there will be lots more as it's a pretty versatile die set.
MATERIALS:
- AALL & Create Roadway Vistas die used for the frame and centre panel.
- IndigoBlu Garden Faerie stamped onto copy paper, fussy cut and stuck onto the main panel. Extra stamping and cutting for a second pair of wings. The wings have Wink of Stella painted on.
- Distress Oxides: Shabby Shutters; Iced Spruce and Peacock Feathers for all inking and stencilling of the background.
- Derwent Inktense pencils used to colour the faerie.
- Versafine Onyx Black used with the circles stamps from Funky Fossil's Tall Grass stamp set. Sprinkled with clear EP and heat set.
I was undecided whether to add a cardboard stand to the back of this, or mount it onto a card front. In the end, I chose the card option - see below. I added some more bubbles to the card to coordinate!
As the focal stamp is called "Garden Faerie" - I thought I'd enter the current ALLSORTS CHALLENGE #851 where Brenda has chosen the theme of ANYTHING FROM THE GARDEN. Brenda has fairies playing at the bottom of her wonderful garden . . . so am hoping this will comply with the theme . . . but if that’s stretching things too far, it can always be entered under the Anything Goes option.
Delighted to have been a Top 7 Pick with this fairy card over at Allsorts:
Just beautiful Sarn and not stretching the theme at all, in fact I'm convinced many of us have Fairies at the bottom of the garden if we look close enough. A favourite frame of mine, sure you'll get lots of use from it. Thanks so much for sharing at Allsorts.

ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning card - beautiful faerie, gorgeous grungy frame and exquisite colouring - what's not to like. Thank you for bringing this one along to the Allsorts challenge where I'm sure there are fairies at the bottom of the garden.

Gorgeous fairy card Sarn, a beautiful image and your frame is fabulous! I looked at that one when I was spending my A&C voucher but was a bit unsure how I would mat it so as to see through the frame all the way round … I love how you have matted it onto a card front. I may be tempted to revisit the store … xx
ReplyDeleteSarn what a gorgeous make with a stunning stamped image and framed perfectly truly so beautiful x
ReplyDeleteStunning creation
