I created and shared this whimsical card earlier this weekend using the kit and today I’m sharing a card using two of the amazing add-ons!
I thought that Fairy Window Fancy die and Star Light Star Bright background stamp were just meant for each other!! First I inked the background stamp with pale tomato, fresh peach, soft apricot, and butter bar ink and then used my MISTI to stamp it on a piece of white cardstock. Then I pressed a versamark pad over the entire panel and heat-embossed it with sparkle embossing powder.
Next I die-cut the Fairy Window Fancy die from white glitter cardstock. I placed a piece of vellum over the back of the die cut and traced inside the wings of the fairy and butterfly. Then I fussy cut the vellum and adhered it behind the wings of the die. I applied a thick layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle over the vellum so that the wings would be super sparkly! Then I adhered the die over the inked background. Finally I stamped a sentiment from Lucky Star on white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I trimmed it down to a thin label and adhered it to the card with foam mounting tape. Pictures don’t do it justice but this card practically glows when it catches the light! Just the way a fairy should! 😉
