Have a Fairy Happy Birthday!

Hi Folks, here's a project for you using stamps from the new Spring Fairy Collection stamp set combined with some older favourites. I wanted to create a gift set that comprised of a card, gift tag and matching wrapping paper, using soft pastel tones. I picked five shades of Memento Ink, and created a background on my tag, and a large piece of white card. I used brushes dabbing off the excess ink to avoid brush marks and blending the colours together where they met. I stamped the fairies and butterflies using Versafine Onyx Black Ink for a nice crisp impression. The extra fairies and buterflies are from the Winter Fairy and Autumn Fairy stamp sets.

To make the tag, I added a sprinkling of glitter on the butterfly wings and the trail of stars. The sentiment comes from the Fairyland Words clear stamp set. To make the card, I added some clouds from the Magical Landscapes/Fantasy Castles Multibuy stamp set and a flower from the Decadent Brocade stamp set, which has been decoupaged. I have added some die cut leaves, and a sentiment as before.


The wrapping paper was created using the same stamps as the tag, stamped with each of the ink colours, graduating across the paper.


Thanks for stopping by, xx

lovely colours/ink work.

The way you have matched these so they are obviously part of a set yet made them individually different is delightful - the white mat of the card base looks quite different to the inked edges of the tag. The blending is beautifully smooth & the use of the Brocade Flower is with the blakc die-cut leaves is a lovely touch. The softness of your clouds adds lovely interest to the sky of the card. I still can't get over how different the tag & card scenes are.
