Something a little different again from me today! I have been messing with my distress inks (only have 3 at the mo) trying to make a background. I must have done about 10 different variations yesterday experimenting with different ink pads, techniques etc. Had great fun doing it but boy today my hands are a mess - full of ink stains (good job I am not working today LOL).
I have made this to enter into the very FIRST Sir Stampalot monthly challenge. "Fantasy" is the theme for this month and woah, I can't believe the prize.... I would be in a fantasy land if I won it LOL First prize is an amazing and generous Cricut - how cool would that be??
I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to make the background and as Allsorts challenge this week is no pre-printed papers this qualifies, masked the "moon". I then stamped the Dandelion Frame by Hero Arts around the edge using Stazon. The mushroom and fairy are from Personal Impressions - Fairy Silhouette. I glimmer misted her wings and the punched out flowers got the stickles treatment with a little diamond (well diamante as I can't afford diamonds LOL) in the centre!
Flowers and brad from my stash and the Fairyland Ticket was a freebie from Craft Stamper magazine a while ago.
I am also entering it into the following challenges:
Meljens are holding their first challenge and the theme it "anything goes"
Just add Ink - Just add... ink - anything goes!
Something Completely Different - "W" for wings!
Crafts and me - Fairies or wings
This is gorgeous Sarah.

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah
ReplyDeleteI adore your card. What a brilliant way to use that Hero frame. I would never have thought of using it that way, but how wonderfully it works with the fairy stamps.
Thank you for joining in our first Stampalot challenge and good luck with the draws.
