Hold the white card stock in portrait position and cut at 11 x 5 1/2 inches.  Score and fold at 5 1/2 inches to create a top fold card.  Cut a  of navy blue card stock at 5 1/4.   Select the designer paper as shown in the picture from the Wildwood Cottage Collection.   Cut at 5 x 5 inches.   Adhere the base layer and designer paper to the card base.

Ink the Wildwood Floral stamp with embossing ink and stamp on the white paper and apply white embossing powder.  Heat set and allow to cool.   Watercolor the flowers using Schmincke Prussian Blue, Cerulean Blue Tone and use Magenta for a few remaining flowers.    Allow to dry.  Die cut the flowers with the Wildwood Florals Die Set.    Spritz lightly the underside of each flower with a mini mister to help break the paper fibers and shape using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   Allow to dry.   Pearls were added to some centers,   Add Go Man Go Prills to the center of other flowers.  When dry, I  lightly applied Dries Clear Adhesive to the petals the pink flowers and dipped in White Gala Glitz.   Allow to fully Dry.

Stamp the Wildwood Florals leaf branch on light green card stock.   Die cut and lightly spritz the back and gently shape with the Flower Shaping Kit.    Using a mini dauber, lightly sponge the edge of the leaves with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  Apply a small amount of Dries Clear Adhesive and dip the leaves in White Gala Glitz.  Allow to dry.


Stamp the Fairy from Wildwood Cottage Darlings Stamp Set onto X-Press It. Color the fairy and grass using the following Copic color combo - Skin Tone - E000, E00, E21, R20, Hair C3, C4, C5, C7, Dress- BG70, BG72, BG75, Wings- G000, G00 and Grass- YG13, YG23.   Lightly shape the head and wings of the fairy with the Shaping Kit to give a little dimension.  Apply  Lime Ice Stickles to the Wings.  Add a few Stop Whining Prills for the petals the little fairy is blowing into the wind.

Apply the flowers using dimensional dots and Designer Clear Adhesive.   Apply an Action Wobble Spring to the back of the fairy and remove the adhesive and apply to the designer paper as shown.  The picture does not show this but the Action Wobble Spring allows the fairy to bounce around and adds a fun element to a super cute fantasy card.



 Thank you for stopping by!   Have a wonderful crafty day!

The center opening was outlined using the pre-cut flip fold frame and cut with scissors a little smaller than the opening.   The edges were cut and folded under in order to create a seamless edge.
