Hi there
Craft Consortium recently released a new collection called 'Faeries' in association with Lavera Grace. The collection includes paper pads, stamps, and embellishments. It was initially released on Hobbymaker TV, but it is now available on the Craft Consortium website.
The card I'm sharing today is showcasing the 'Crouch' stamp, which I used alongside with some of the flora and fauna stamps. Using a jar stencil from my stash I created sweet faerie scene.
This collection and other collections are available from the Craft Consortium's website and good craft retailer's websites. In the USA, it will be distributed by Scrapbooking.com (this is in the process of being set up). You can also go direct to the Craft Consortium's website here and sign up for an update on any future product launches.
This Is What I Did
I die cut a piece of patterned paper from the 'Organic' paper pad to cover the front of a 5" x 7" white card blank. Next I die cut a piece of watercolour card and added my jar aperture mask, With black waterproof ink I stamped the faerie into the centre of the jar, then stamped her again onto masking paper which I cut out. After covering the faerie with the mask I added several colours of distress ink to create a wistful background. Whilst the mask and stencil were in place I continued to stamp lots of flora in the background, and added colour using distress reinkers.
When the background was dry I removed the faerie mask and coloured her using distress reinkers. Highlights and light orbs were added using white paint and a white pen. When everything was dry I carefully removed the jar aperture stencil, and lightly placed the jar stencil over the top of the coloured jar and added colour around the jar. The completed scene was mounted onto green mirror card and onto the centre of the card front.
To finish the card, I added glitter to the faeries wings, a few dew drops and 3 butterflies which were stamped, coloured and fussy cut out.
Distress Re-inkers & Ink Used - I used a huge collection of colours so email me for the list if you would like it.
