Craft Consortium - Faeries - Flower

 Hi there

Today I’m sharing another card for Craft Consortium using one of the stamp sets from the new 'Faeries' collection. The collection was made in association with Lavera Grace. As mentioned in my last post, the collection includes paper pads, stamps, and embellishments. 

My card highlights the stamp called ‘Flower', which I used combined with some of the other stamps in the collection.. I used a bell jar stencil from my stash and I created whimiscal 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 an A5 white card blank. Next I die cut a piece of watercolour card and added my bell 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 and the bottom section, I added several colours of distress ink to create a pretty background, with the lighter area in the centre. Whilst the mask and stencil were in place I continued to stamp lots of flora in the background, and added colour using distress reinkers. I covered the top section of the jar and added shades of brown ink at the bottom to create a base.

When the background and base 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 blue mirror card and then glued 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.
