Fairies in Flight

This is a similar post to yesterdays in that I've created a wall plaque and matching card, but this time I have chosen a Fairy theme for Jessie.   I created the plaque first and then the card.  For this project I have used stamps from Sheena Douglass' 'A Little Bit Sketchy' collection and Crafter's Companion Textures collection; Lavinia Stamps fairy; acrylic paints; H2O's; Brilliance Inks; gold Aqua Tint; As before I up-cycled a Christmas heart by sanding it lightly, painting it in white Gesso then in pink acrylic.  I stamped several different sizes of fairies onto the plaque using Brilliance inks, and a couple of dandelion images.  On a piece of white card I stamped a fairy and toadstools, then heat embossed them.  I painted them with pearlescent acrylics and H2O's then cut them out.  Next I die cut a fairy from purple cardstock, painted her hair and parts of her wings and added glitter.  I added glitter to the other fairy, die cut some foliage from Kraft card and added glitter.   I used air drying clay and some moulds to make the letters and butterflies, painted them pink and gold and added glitter.  I then sprayed all the pieces with varnish before assembling the artwork, attaching the embellishments with dimensional glue.  For the card I used glitter card for the focal panel, stamping some fairies and dandelions in Brilliance inks onto it.  I die cut the fairy out of purple cardstock and added glitter.  I also die cut the sentiment and letters, then attached them all to the panel.  I matted the panel onto purple card, then layered it onto the base card which I had already stamped with a dandelion border.  These projects have been a delight to create, and they can be easily adapted for either boys or girls of any age.
