Moonlight Fairies

Hi and welcome to my blog  :)  Today I'm sharing another 'back in time' project  :D  This is one of my  samples from the Chocolate Baroque Fairy shows in April this year.  Fairies are good for adults and children alike and I tried to create a variety of projects that would suit any recipient.  I decided to create a silver and black design for a sophisticated adult card.  I have used stamps from the March, April and May Fairies, Magical Landscapes and Words to Dazzle and Sparkle sets; Aztec paints, Distress Ink - Broken China, silver and silver sparkle embossing powders.

I always stamp new stamps onto copy paper first to test them, then I cut them out and use the images to plan my design.

I began by creating the background panel, taking a piece of black card and stamping the castle and sentiment onto it, then I embossed them in silver.  I used Aztec paints to add some clouds and colour the images, then I used a silver marker pen around the edges of the panel.  

I took a white base card and stamped a flower and some swirls in blue DI around the edges, and blended ink onto the outside edges.   I then attached the background panel to it.  

On another piece of black card I stamped a large fairy image and embossed it in silver.   I painted it with Aztec paints and then cut it out.  I stamped two small silhouette fairy images onto black card and used a silver sparkle embossing powder.  I cut the images out then attached all three fairies to the card with dimensional glue.   As a final touch I added a small butterfly, made in the same way.

I really love this design, the simplicity of it really showcases these lovely stamps.  This card shows that Fairies can be for everyone, whatever their age.  I think this design makes a great worker card for a lot of occasions, and it's probably the nearest I shall get to creating a CAS card lol!
