Fairy Flowers


Hello and Welcome
Meet Fairy Flowers....another super fun stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.
This one is another new release and makes for a very cheerful card.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I first decided how I wanted to add the flowers using the Fairy Flowers to my white card front panel.  Using some Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink, I stenciled just the stems of the flowers.
  • Using another piece of white cardstock, I stenciled the flowers using some Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and a hint of Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink.  I added some Black Soot just to the centers of the flowers.
  • I fussy cut out the flowers and set them aside so I could finish working on the main panel with the stems.  
  • I stamped the sentiment from High Hopes into the corner of the panel.
  • Using the Simple Grid stencil, I added some random bits of inking by lightly adding some Peacock Feathers.  It really helped to add interest to the background.
  • Next, I splattered with my black Posca pen and let dry.
  • To help give the flowers more interest, I added some black dots around the flower center with my Posca pen.
  • Time to assemble....I glued the panel onto a piece of navy cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.
  • I pop dotted the fussy cut flower heads over the stems,

Here are the stencils I used:

The flowers look wonderful over the grid background Karen..like a mosaic in a way, and I love the black centres and dots and the bit of black spattering to coordinate with the black stamped sentiment. x

So pretty. - Love how you cut the flowers out and layered them on top of the stems. Also like the use of the grid stencil. Those colors are some of my favorite colors. Great card.
