Spreading the Magic Fairy Dust

Spreading The Magic Fairy Dust

In the fantasy fairy land, fairy dust is a special commodity which spreads cheer, hope, joy, love, and magic to those who believe.  What fantastic job it is to spread such magical fairy dust to all who need it!

Lavinia Stamps used:  Fairy Dust Silhouette,

                                    Fairy Buds, 

                                    Berry Leaves, and 

                                    Stars miniature.

The large flower where Fairy Dust is sitting on is from a line flower stamp I have in my stash.  I colored it with glitter pens and colored pencils, then sprinkled some glitters on the end of each petal.

The background is from distress oxide and colorburst crystals.  I was real tempted to put a moon behind Fairy Dust but then decided to let the magical light shine freely on this beautiful fairy, and envelope her in its warmth.

I used a border die from 'card making magic' to cut away a pattern out of a square silver linen cardstock and backed it with black cardstock to give this 6 x 6 card a fancy frame.

I added more glitter to this project later (on the fairy wings and the flower petals) and would like to share a picture here to show the difference a little more sparkle can add to a scene:

This is a project for Lavinia World Challenge #30.  Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have lots of time to craft and enjoy the process of creating your next masterpiece!

Castle in the Sky

Dragon castle in the sky

This is my DT project for Lavinia World challenge #29.  The castle on the clouds seems uninhabited and vulnerable, but the presence of dragons keeps it protected and  alive!

The Lavinia Stamps used : Dragon Stone Castle, mini dragon,  small mideela,  and fairy pods.
The border die used is from Card Making Magic.

The background is created from distress Oxide ink pad with brayer and gel press, then sprinkled with mixtures from Ken Oliver's colourburst crystals (very much like brushos).  The dragons and castle are stamped with Versa fine claire ink pad (nocturne).

The border was cut from matte gold cardstock. I glued a piece of 8 x 10 dark grey cardstock onto a chipboard so it can be a sturdy backing for this scene to be displayed on the wall.

What fun I had creating this scene.  My background usually dictates the scene that comes to mind.  With this particular one, the cloud idea jumped out screaming for the castle to be stamped on top!

Thank you for stopping by.  Happy crafting............
