Fairy Stamper ~ Decorating the Tree

   Hello crafting friends, and welcome to my Fairy Stamper Friday share.

 

Did you catch the Christmas release of Fairy Hugs stamps? 

They are gorgeous and such a wonderful variety of designs that will have you done with your Christmas cards way ahead of time :-)

Using a few of the new stamps, I made this card with a new die I recently purchased.

First a inked the snowbanks and the sky on the background.

Next I stamped the tree and Lara, the fairy who is decorating it. I stamped her in a sandy colour so that I could go over with red copic marker and give her some festive clothes to match her festive wings 😃

Then I realised that it needed a little something else in the background, so I masked her wings and stamped a pine tree as well as a couple of clouds.  Since Lara is not a very tall fairy, and she did want to reach the upper branch, I thought it would be handy for her to use a pinecone as her "step stool".  I added a little bit of white Puffy Paint to the trimming of her dress and her hat.

Once my scene was complete I matted it onto gold mirror cardstock, and adhered to an fun new die I recently purchased.  When looking back at the card, I felt that the ornaments were lacking a bit of sparkle, so I grabbed my metallic markers and went over them.  Not only do they look all shiny, but now they have a bit of dimension too.

You can move the die and place it over a folded piece of cardstock so that you have a normal card, but for this card I decided to go with a postcard style.  So on the back, I created a layer where I will write my personal message. Again I used stamps from the new release. All supplies are be listed below, linked to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.
