Happy weekend everyone! I have to gleefully confess that I had the best time working with the new 5935-Fairytale Houses Set! It's such a great set of images and dies to work with. It comes complete with stamped images and dies, including grasses which make it easy to create a scene.
I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers. I used white and black fine tipped pens to add some accents. I also used black Nuvo drops for extra sheen and dimension on the mushrooms.
This is a mini-slimline card which is 3 1/2" x 6 when finished. It's a perfect size for these images. After cutting out the colored images with the included dies, I arranged them on a 3" x 5 1/2" size of light blue cardstock. I matted this on a 3 1/4" x 5 3/4" navy cardstock mat and glued this on to the card base. I added the sentiment directly on the background as a finishing touch. It makes such a cheerful and fanciful scene! I knew it would be cute but this really surpassed my expectations. The set is designed for watercolor but I think you would agree that this is quite enchanting colored with markers as well. Colored pencils would also be delightful for these fanciful images.
This card also fits the current challenge on the Ai blog which is Magical Creatures. The adorable little bee and the magical beings you would imagine would inhabit these cute little homes is perfect for the theme. I encourage you to enter your card creation to the challenge. Each entry is a chance to win free stamp sets of your choosing. You can find the entry form and details here: Magical Creatures Challenge
