Pixie House.

Hi there Lovelies,

It's me back again with a card I made as a 'thank you'  for a special friend.   I have used Imagination Craft's   vine leaf stencil and mica  powders, along with a Lavinia stamp, which I adore.   I just love anything to do with pixies, fairies and angels.   Hope you like it.

Make a base card from brown card stock.   Onto this, matt a smaller piece of white card.   Take another piece of white card, again, cut slightly smaller than the white matt.

     
Colour this card with distress ink, scattered straw.   When this is dry, put through an embossing machine, along with the vine leaf stencil and emboss.

  
Rub the Versamark pad over the surface of the embossed card, then brush with mica powders.   Matt this onto the white card.

   
Stamp the Lavinia stamp onto a piece of white card. using  a brown distress ink pad.   Colour around the edges with a blending tool and the brown ink.   Cut out using   a circle die, making sure the image is in the centre of the circle.   Fix this to the centre of the base card.

   
Using the Spellbinders flower die,  die-cut the flowers and colour with distress inks.   Layer the three different sizes of flowers using silicone glue and glue to the left of the circle.   Add a large turquoise bead to the centre of the flower.

   
Add three smaller turquoise beads to the top right of the circle.    Lastly, add a ribbon bow.

Well that's it for tonight folks, I do hope you like it.   Take good care of yourselves until my next blog.

                                                                  Love and rainbows,

                                                               Crafty Hugs,   Jennifer xx.
