I love the fairy images in the November Kit of the Month stamp set from Unity. She is so pretty. I knew I wanted her to be the centerpiece of a collage sample for the video tutorial of that technique.
I started with a 2 5/8″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. The background Giving it all Meaning was stamped over the cardstock with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Next the lace border from the November Scrapbooking Kit of the month was stamped with Frayed Burlap Distress ink. On the bottom right a branch from Artist in you was stamped in the same color. On the top right the wand with fairy dust was stamped in Frayed Burlap as well.
The fairy was stamped in Black Soot Distress ink. Because Distress ink stays wet longer, I was able to emboss it with clear embossing powder. I added a bit of color (Shabby Shutter, Worn Lipstick) with a sponge dauber. The edges of the layer were distressed and sponged first with Antique Linen, then with a hint of Vintage Photo Distress ink. It was stitched to a slightly bigger layer of Vanilla cardstock before it was adhered to a black scallop cardstock rectangle, cut with Rectangle Nestabilities. Stardust stickles in the center of the flowers and the wings of the fairy finished off the center image.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock folded in half. A distressed 3 15/16″ x 5 5/16″ piece of basic black cardstock was next. A 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ piece of My Mind’s Eye patterned paper was embossed with a Victoria Cuttlebug embossing folder, sanded and stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of Vanilla cardstock. Celery Silk Ribbon was tied around those layers before they were attached to the card base with dimensionals.
