Flower Fairy.

Good afternoon Fellow Bloggers, Friends and Visitors,

The weather here is a little better today with the odd shower, can't complain as this is better than snow lol!      As you will no doubt know by now that I very rarely use ready made toppers but when these flower fairy designs were given free with the Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine last year and I love fairies, I just couldn't resist making this card.  The background papers were also in the pack, along with other fairy toppers.   Hope you like what I have done with them.

    
Take  an A4 piece of white card and  trim  a half inch from one long edge.   Fold this in half portrait style.

Matt a smaller rectangle of grey card onto the base card, leaving a border of the white showing.   Cover the grey card with two of the patterned papers, I chose pink and green to match the fairy topper.

    
Die-cut two corners from white card using the Intricut flourishes die and glue one to the top left corner and the other to the bottom right corner.

   
Matt the flower fairy topper onto a slightly larger piece of white card, then matt this onto the base card, nearer to the top than the bottom of the card.

  
Put a small piece of white card into a small design,  embossing folder and emboss.   Cut one flower from this.   Next die-cut two flowers from the patterned pink paper.   Die-cut the leaves from grey card and die-cut three flower centres from gold card.   I used  a free die for the flowers, leaves & stamen which were given free with a craft magazine.   Glue the stamen to each flower centre.

  
Glue these to the bottom left of the base card, adding a green ribbon bow to the bottom left of the topper.

    
Die-cut an oval from white card using the oval from the Nellie Snellen oval die set.   Using a black ink pad, stamp 'Happy Birthday' onto the centre of the oval and thread some green ribbon through the slots and secure on the reverse with sticky tape.

   
Glue this oval to the top right corner and that is this card finished, a quick, easy card to make, especially if you need a card in a hurry.

That's all from me for the moment.   Enjoy your weekend and take care of yourselves.
