Sharing a set of Fairy themed ATC cards made for a craft group monthly swap using the Gecko Galz Pixie Dream land digital download Kit.
I wanted to make use of as many of these beautiful fairy images that I could as they work perfectly for projects like this.
I'm linking up again this week with What's on your workdesk Wednesday (woyww#784) which is now being hosted by Sarah Brennan (Sarah's Craft shed) follow the link if you are interested to see what like minded folk have been up to and here is a link to the original Stamping Ground about WOYW
A bit more to show you this time, what was on my desk whilst making this project. Apart from knowing what images I wanted to use and cutting them out, the rest was a case of pulling random items out of draws and boxes that I liked the look of and seeing whether I intended to use any of it.
I only wanted to highlight the images and decorate around the edges. I added a touch of luna gold fusion ink to all their wings and hunters gold around the edges of the card, which gave the card a lovely metallic green glow. I added a little silky satin wool to finish.
I sometimes manage to pick the wool up in charity shops. I'm fortunate to find random balls of beautiful wool or thread like this, probably left over from a project which is a great lucky find to craft with!
With this card, I added some henna mica flakes in between the seed beads, glossy accents and some fine rainbow thread.
On my final card I used the sparkly black twilight thread and added a little hunters gold through parts of the tread. I've also added one of the larger iridescent floral beads with the smaller ones.
My ATC cards needed a little folder which I made from a piece of card. I had some leafy paper from my crafty stash that covered it nicely and added a sentiment across the front of the image before printing .
I popped the little embellishment that I had previously made inside the folder with my cards, as I thought that it fit the theme perfectly.
The butterfly was from the Butterfly Wings Digital Collage Set.
I enjoy making ATC cards and these have been fun to make too. There are loads of inspiration on Gecko Galz blog along with links to their DT for you to follow. Have a look at their challenges and all the wonderful free inspiration available for you to download along with details on where to buy their kits too.
Have a great day, whatever you have planned for yourself.
